Charles "Michael" Parrish

Charles Michael Parrish, of Pfafftown, NC, was called home on Feb 5, 2021 in to the loving arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the age of 74. Now free from all earthly pain and suffering, he is reunited with his father, Charles Gilliam Parrish, his mother, Katherine Tucker Parrish, his sister Linda Ferrara and beloved canine friend, Gabe.

Michael, a loving father and husband, is survived by his wife, Vickie, daughter Michele Carter and her husband Alex, daughter Ashley Parrish and her fiancé, Will Ireland, and his precious grandson whom he adored, Samuel Carter. He is also survived by aunts, two nieces, cousins and many friends.

His zest for life and learning was extended to the many people he impacted as a beloved teacher for Forsyth County Schools. He later worked in investments and real estate, but found the greatest joy in working on his farm and spending time with his family making countless memories.

Michael's joyful presence and laughter will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved hum, but we rejoice in knowing that his lifelong commitment to seeking, following and loving the Lord has now led him to be surrounded with the peace that passes all understanding.

The family will be having a celebration of life service for friends and extended family at a later date to be determined.
