Parson, Jorge L. ALBANY It is with profound regret and deep sorrow that the family of Jorge Lewis Parson, 50, announces his unexpected passing Saturday, May 23, 2009. A lifelong resident of Albany, he was born July 3, 1958 to George and Madeleine Parson. He is survived by his wife, Brenda; daughter, Shenaya; son, Jalen Trey; a brother, Lewis Parson of Parkville, Md. and sisters, Gail Roper of Austin, Texas and Giselle Marie of Brooklyn, N.Y. He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Gillian; and his brother, Kasheen. Jorge was a decorated and proud officer of the Albany Police Department from 1987 until his retirement in 2001. He had most recently been in the employ of the New York State Office of General Services. Jorge was a popular face and well known to many residents of the Arbor Hill Community. He had the reputation of being a spirited, opinionated conversationalist with a sincere interest in affecting the youth of the community in a positive fashion. Funeral service Thursday 12 noon at Wilborn Temple C.O.G.I.C., 121 Jay St. Relatives and friends are invited and may call on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always, and forever.
Wings Of The Angels:
A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand.
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a father's name.

Left behind, the children's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a father's sent.

On angel's wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn.

Many blessings and prayers to Trey, Shanaya, and Aunt Brenda

I love you uncle Jorge. Always & Forever

Love, Candy

Brend, Naya & Trey:

I appreciate being allowed into your inner circle and being treated as family. I have countless memories of us (Me, Brenda, Trey, Naya & Jorge)all being together. From middle school to leaving for college Jorge was always concerned with my progress, asking about basketball and school. He will be dearly missed.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Mr. Jorge has been a fixture at my uncle and cousin's barbershop since I can remember. It seems like everytime I walked up to go in he would always be sitting outside laughing and joking with my uncle. I am definitely going to miss being in his presence and hearing him laugh. Though we only had few talks one on one Mr. Jorge always encouraged me to do my best and congratulated me for being one of the few "young brothers" out here doing the right thing. Mr. Jorge will be missed dearly. My condolences go out to Mr. Jorge's family. May Mr. Jorge rest in peace

Wow, I don't even know where to begin. My entire family has known Jorge since we were knee high to a grasshopper. He was also so sweet and possessed a peaceful and gentle soul. He will always be remembers as the gentle giant because he was always much much taller than everyone else (even I have to smile at that). He always made us laugh and got along with everyone. I will remember him as the God fearing man that he was.

Although I never got a chance to meet his family, he spoke fondly of you always. Please find comfort in knowing that he is finally with the Lord and is at peace. My mom just passed away in January and I'm sure they are catching up. May God be with you in your days of sorrow and may He give you strength when you don't think you have any more left.

To Brenda and The Parson Family,
I was really shocked to hear of my cousin passing, my heart is sadden, I love him and will miss him dearly, he was a really good family member to me, also being the same age, and was in the same class sometimes too, he always made time for me like a brother, we'd talk about how we are doing, and we would stop in passings and talk family and about up coming family events and family reunions, etc. I will miss that. Now I am strongly thinking about him beautiful daughter and his young son Trey, who look just like him, I hope and pray they will be alright, Brenda you have done a great job in caring for the family and I find you to be a really good person, so please if I could be of any assistance or just to talk, please contact me.

While it is never easy saying "Good-Bye" to Family, so it is also with the departing of a great friend. To the Parson Family, on behalf of Callie L. Moore and Family, we wish to extend our love and condolence in your loss. We will always hold dear the memories of growing up on Arbor Hill with Jorge. He was truly one of the "Sons of Arbor Hill" and he will be missed.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."
Ephesians 3:20

"Our dreams are limited and our expectation lacking; we are way too comfortable clinging to the hope of what we can see and think. We can not begin to imagine what God has in store for us in this life and the next. Our treasure is in Christ and once we discover it, our hope is restored and our hearts fixated on Him; then nothing is impossible and we live each day with great expectation."

Take care and may Our Lord continue to keep and bless you all.
