Robert (Bob) Joseph Parrish, 52, of Monaca, passed away on June 17th, 2025. He was raised in the town of Monaca by his parents, Wes Parrish Sr. and the late Mary Fedeles. Monaca was where he attended the schools, participated in sports, and made lifelong friends in the tightly knit community. Following his 1990 graduation from Monaca High School, he attended Garfield Business School. Prior to his health struggles, he was employed at Service Link in Moon Township. A lifelong lover of most sports, Robert had a special place in his heart for basketball. Even with all his health struggles, he continued to amaze family and friends with his knowledge of sports statistics or recalling classic matches, always with a twinkle and mischief in his baby blue eyes. In his memory, play a quick game of pickup basketball, shoot hoops, or take the time to watch a basketball game. He faced many health challenges in recent years, including complications from diabetes and a stroke he suffered at the age of 40. Through it all, he was cared for lovingly and devotedly by his father, Wes Parrish. A retired construction worker, Wes learned everything he needed to know to care for him: amazing his doctors and nurses with his knowledge. In addition to his father, he is survived by Nancy Parrish, his sister, Carla Goe (Bill Bryan), his brother, Wes Parrish Jr, his daughter, Tara Parrish, his very special nieces, Olivia (Isaac) Parrish Covert and Emma Parrish, his sister-in-law, Richelle Parrish, several aunts, uncles, and cousins, his stepfather, Lee Fedeles and his daughters, Lisa (Jim) Denkovich and Krista (Dominick) Treemarchi and family. In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Evelyn Parrish Robinson & Frank Parrish, maternal grandparents Carl & Gertrude Beatty, and his aunt, several uncles, and cousins who passed before him.
