MULBERRY - Jack Hilton Parrish, Sr., lovingly referred to as the Candyman or Grandaddy Jack, went to his heavenly home on Monday, October 12, 2020 at age 78. His dedication to his family and his firm belief in Jesus Christ supported him in his passing and gave him peace.

Proud Grandfather of 10 and Beloved Great-Grandfather of 11. Further survived by Brother, Bobby Parrish (Dottie), nieces, nephews, dear friends and a loving church family.

He was a devoted follower of Christ and lived a life of service to others. He was a proud patriot and a US Army veteran. He enjoyed spending time golfing, fishing and baking pies. He will be dearly missed and is forever in our hearts.

Jack was such a special, integral part of our Parrish & Senn family, and had a knack for always making everyone around him feel welcomed and loved. We will never forget his charming personality, his sense of humor and his funny little laugh, his genuine warmth and open affection he showed towards everyone he loved. Our world just won't be the same without you, Jack. We all love you and will miss you deeply.
Always in our hearts,
Laurie & Bo Reuter
