Robin Parnaby Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Duggan's Funeral Service - The Duggan Welch Family on Feb. 9, 2023.
It is with a broken heart and deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Robin Edward Parnaby.
Robin, 54, of San Francisco, CA and formerly of Bournemouth, England, passed away peacefully on February 3, 2023, in his wife's arms at home. Robin was born on May 22, 1968, in Birmingham, England. He was preceded in death by his brother Bruce Parnaby.
Robin lived his life to the fullest, was a true individual and a self made man. He moved on his own to California at the age of 23 and led an exciting life; riding motorcycles, collecting cars, playing music and making many friends. Always creative and innovative, Robin combined his love for music and his stellar technical capabilities to pursue what would become a 31 year long and successful career in audio engineering and design. Other then his passion for music and engineering, Robin was an amateur photographer and a devoted follower of car and motorcycles racing. In later years Robin showed an interest in British football, baking bread and formed a special bond with our cat, Pumpkin
Robin is survived by his wife Dana Parnaby and his parents Ann Losina Parnaby and Stephen Parnaby.
A nonconformist, kind and thoughtful man, Robin will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, parents, friends and coworkers.

I met Robin at California Billiards Club in 1998. He drove a red MR2, had incredibly long, blonde hair, and loved playing billiards with his friends.

He had a passion for photography, exploring new places, working on cars, inventing new technology creating both the software and hardware, and music. He one told me that when he listened to records, he would never lift the needle up so the record played perfectly every time.

He was a great friend and taught me to be creative, and curious, and push myself, and ask questions, and learn, and work hard, and find something I love and be passionate about it.

He help me to be a better person, and I will never forget that.

I offer my sincere condolences to Dana Parnaby, Ann Parnaby, and Stephen Parnaby.
