Herbert D. Parrish, 65, formerly of New Sewickley Township, passed away on August 5th, 2025, at his residence in Freedom.
He was a son of the late Benjamin Franklin Parrish and Ruth Parrish and he was one of eight children. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings, Danny (Barb) Parrish, Gary (Rose) Parrish, and Linda Heath. He is survived by his devoted wife, Victoria Fleck Parrish, whom he married on February 20th, 1999.
He is survived by his beloved children: Jessica Parrish and her daughter, Maddie Parrish, his son, Matthew Parrish, along with Matthew’s children, Xavier Sommerer, Noah Parrish and Alora Parrish and his daughter, Emily Parrish (married to Brandon) and their son, Levi Parrish. His life was further enriched by his brothers, Alvin Parrish and Roy (Ellen) Parrish, his sisters, Joni VanScoy and Joyce Parrish and his brother-in-law, David Heath. He is also survived by two very special lifelong friends, Michael Adams and Thomas Witherow, whose friendship provided immeasurable joy throughout his life.
Herb was a self-employed carpenter who took pride in his business, Parrish Contracting. He was raised in Independence Township and his early life was filled with pleasures of the countryside. He had a lifelong love for fishing, which led him to the serene lakes of Canada, where he spent many contented hours. In his younger days, he found solace in the quiet of the woods during deer hunting season.
Herbert’s connection with his beloved red tick Beagle, Buster, was more than that of a pet and owner. Buster was a loyal companion whose memory he cherished long after his passing.
Friends will be received on Saturday, August 9th from 2-4 P.M. and 6-8 P.M. at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, who was in charge of his arrangements and where services will be held on Sunday, August 10th at 1 P.M. with Tawan Merriweather officiating.
