JAIME PARRA Obituary
Jaime, a native and lifetime resident of Brownsville, was the owner of Parra Furniture and Loan Company throughout the Rio Grande Valley.
Jaime, who attended St. Joseph Academy, was a staunch supporter and advocate for St. Joe. He was very proud to be serving as one of their Board members. St. Joe meant the world to him.
Jaime looked forward to meeting with his buddies, Renato, Oscar, Stephen, Bob, and Tony daily to have breakfast and coffee at El Torito where the problems of the world were solved by this very astute group of men.
Jaime was a veteran of the Korean War having served our country honorably as a member of the U.S. Air Force. Jaime was a true patriot and proud Republican.
Jaime's true passion in life was his family. Jaime was a devoted and loving husband, father, and grandfather.
Jaime was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed not only by his family and friends but by all those fortunate to have known him.
Jaime was preceded in death by his parents, Florencia and Jose Parra III; a sister, Amelia Callas; and his brother, Jose Parra IV.
Left behind to eternally treasure their memories of him are his loving wife of 46 years, Maria Alicia Molina Parra; his son, Jaime and his wife Amanda Parra Jr.; his daughter, Mary Frances Parra-Garza and her husband Steven; the grandchildren that he adored: Steven, Jamie, Timothy, Rachel, Madeline, Jared, and Thomas; and several nieces, nephews, and other extended family members.
Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. today, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013, in the East Chapel at Darling-Mouser Funeral Home with the recitation of the holy rosary at 7 p.m. Wednesday evening.
The Funeral Mass will take place at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 1914 Barnard Road, Brownsville.
Military Honors will be rendered after the Mass by the American Legion John Hanson Post 43 Funeral Honor Guard.
All services will conclude at that time, and in accordance with Jaime's wishes cremation will follow.

What can I say about my old and dear friend Jaime Parra ? I knew Jaime since our mothers placed us alongside each other in the same crib around 1935 or so; his family and mine were "compadres", and so words are sometimes feeble to express true sentiments. Great friend, great Amigo, true to his ideals, to his GOD and to his Family. Patriot, loyal, God-fearing man Jaime was. That soft laugther of his made all of us feel welcome in his circle .We shared many youthful adventures, many memories, and so now may GOD hold you in his Grace.

They shared many good times here on earth and I am sure they will meet in Heaven and continue their friendship. Jaime and the rest of the Parra family I apologize for not being there with you all during the services of Mr. Parra, however, my prayers and thoughts are with you all. I pray that God gives you solace during this very difficult time. That you find comfort knowing that Mr. Parra is in Heaven celebrating with all of his love ones that passed on before him. And that he rejoices in the presents of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our Father God. RIP Mr. Parra.
