He was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Davis University Ward, which brought him great joy and satisfaction in life, his family said. He also devoted much of his time as a volunteer for the Yolo Community Care Continuum. He will be remembered by family and friends who loved him as a kind, compassionate and gentle person, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his parents, Dale and Nancy Parry of Woodland; his brother, Brian Parry of Walnut Creek; his sister, Christy Parry of New York City; his sister-in-law, Shelley Parry; his grandmother, Alice Parry; and many uncles, aunts and cousins who live throughout Northern California. Friends are invited to attend a funeral Saturday at 1 p.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 785 Elmwood Drive in Davis. Interment will be private.
