Alphonso Parrish

I have gone to a place, where all mankind must go. It is a place beyond an open gate. All have been invited. This place holds an eternal promise. I have gone to a place of everlasting peace. This is a place where there is no pain or sorrow, and teardrops have ceased. Life has a joyful beginning but sometimes it can be a painful ending for those loved ones, we leave behind. I don’t want my exit from this life to be painful for any of my family and friends. Remember my beginning and not my tragic ending. Remember all the laughter we had and the joy that I brought to each of you.

Alphonso Parrish was born on October 10, 1972, to John Timothy Parrish and the late Shelia D. Parrish in Brunswick, Georgia.

Alphonso received his formal education in the Glynn County school system in Brunswick, Georgia. Alphonso accepted Christ as his Savior at an early age. He was employed by Rich’s Seafood Corp. as a line worker.

God didn’t give anyone here on Earth the power to determine our exit date. God, the giver and taker of life, sent his angels to reclaim his child, Alphonso Parrish, on November 9, 2022. He was preceded in death by his mother, Shelia D. Parrish.

He leaves to cherish his memories: father, John Timothy Parrish (Jewel); sisters, Jameelah Parrish and Rasheedah Parrish; brothers, Timothy Parrish (Ebony), John Parrish, and James Parrish; nieces and nephews, Rashaan M. Grovner, Rasheed A. Grovner, Timia Parrish, Mauricia Parrish, Timothy Parris, Jr., Janaya Curry, James Parrish, Jr., Maya Parrish, Quinton Walker, Anthony Walker, Eli Walker, Jahnya Parrish, and Jahvon Parrish; aunt, Bobbie Gean Robinson; and a host of other relatives and friends.
