William Parrish Obituary
Gone from our lives. Forever in our hearts. We, who will hold him lovingly in our memory, are his sister and her husband, Eva and Daniel Kline; daughter and husband, Jennifer and Rob Triplett and grandchildren, Hannah and Zachary; daughter, Beth Parrish and grandchildren Meghan and Jake; daughter, Stacey Parrish, and son Matthew Parrish.
As a father, Bill loved and cherished his daughters and son very much. As a brother, he was a tower of strength and source of great wisdom. He was passionate about sports, particularly football and the Cleveland Browns, which he instilled in his kids. Among his many and varied talents were music, goldsmithing, and dancing. Whatever artistic endeavor he undertook, the results were always beautiful and inspiring.
Bill's family will receive friends Wednesday, June 15th at 5 p.m. at Cornerstone Free Methodist Church, 578 Killian Road, Akron, Ohio. A service celebrating his life will begin at 6 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Cornerstone in memory of Bill Parrish. Condolences and special memories may be shared online at: www.heritagecremation.com

I had the pleasure of playing in a band with Bill back in the 60's called "The Facts Of Life." We were very popular around the Akron area even landing spots on local TV shows.I remember Bill as the driving force and clearly the outstanding talent of the band.I don't ever remember seeing him in a bad mood.When I first met Bill he was in band called "The Denells",named for his Mother.I often wondered what became of him.Thankyou Bill Parrish for all the great memories.

I worked with Bill way back in 92 to 94ish. He and I became work friends and had many laughs together. I will remember him this way.

My deepest sympathy for Matt and his family. I've known Bill for years, worked with him. He was one of the best people I have ever known. I lost track of him a couple of years ago. He will be missed by all his fellow jewelers and friends who knew him. My condolences for his family.

My condolences to the Parrish family. I knew Bill way back when we were kids, and he lived on Howard Street. We graduated from North High School together in 1967. I remember he was always a very pleasant, kind, and humorous young man back in those days. May he rest in peace.

I will remember Bill as a gentle, warm, and encouraging friend to me, a gifted man, and a very proud father. I will also remember his love and gratitude to Jesus, and the "art" he added to life by his presence and perspective. My prayers are with you all, and I am so glad to know he is forever healed.
