John Parres Obituary
Parres, John "Jack"
passed away peacefully on May 29, 2024, at the age of 91.
Born on October 2, 1932, in St. Louis, MO, Jack has now returned to the love of his Creator, reuniting with his beloved parents, Virginia (nee Goddard) and John Francis, his sister Audrey Beatty, and his cherished dogs, Happy, Scooter, Abby, and Misty.
Jack met and married June Radcliffe, with whom he had three children: Jennifer (Kevin) Walsh, Jeffrey (Cindy) Parres, and Suzanne (Rick) Dotta. Their love and devotion molded him into the man he became, though their marriage ended after 37 years. He will be greatly missed by his children, grandchildren Timothy (Danielle) Walsh, Tyler Parres, Mitchell (Leanne) Parres, and Jeremy (Adia) Maclin, and his great-grandchildren Kennedy, Kylie, and Kinsley Walsh; Malcolm Parres; and Jett and Krew Maclin.
