James Richard Parrott passed away peacefully, at the age of 76, on January 27th, 2024, in his home. He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend, who never failed to brighten the lives of others with either his heart of gold or a bad “dad joke.” He leaves behind his wife, Bettina, daughter, Ashley, and sisters, Susan Haas (Marin County) and Barbara Williams (Oklahoma).
Born in Buffalo, New York, Jim grew up in Muncie, Indiana where he made everlasting friendships, and pursued his love of music for many years playing drums in three bands, including December's Children. He later moved to Marin County, California where he started his business in the office product industry and later in the automotive industry.
Though his departure from the physical world has left us heartbroken, we find peace in knowing he is no longer suffering and has reunited with his parents, Fred and Virginia Parrott, his nephew, James Williams, and his beloved dog - his golden retriever, Shannon.
As per Jim’s request, no funeral or memorial service will be held.
