He is survived by his wife, Stacy of 36 years; daughters, Jennifer (Joshua Kok) Vogel, Sarah (Dennis) Hobbs, and Angela (James) Bailard; parents, John and Joann Parsons; siblings, Jeffrey (Laura) Parsons, Sharon (Robert) Dennison, Stanley Parsons and Mary Chappell; as well as an uncle; numerous aunts; nephews; nieces; and cousins.
