Arnold Kay Parry, our devoted, loving, dedicated husband, father, son, brother, uncle, grandpa, great-grandpa, and friend, joined his sweetheart in heaven on his lucky day, March 17, 2016.
Born August 25, 1932 to George Kendrick Parry and Rebecca Leone Miller, the youngest of four sons. He grew up in Herriman, where he attended Jordan High School. He followed his father and brothers in serving his country in the United States Air Force.
He married his eternal sweetheart, Colleen Rae Larsen, on December 14, 1956 in the Salt Lake Temple. He devoted his life to caring for her and his family. Together, they raised six children, twenty-seven grandchildren, and thirty-six great-grandchildren.
Dad's greatest joy was celebrating birthdays! He will be remembered for the personalized and thoughtful birthday cards we all enjoyed receiving. He diligently and faithfully served his Heavenly Father in many church callings.
He was a cowboy at heart, loving horses, John Wayne, Gene Autrey, Roy Rogers, Wagon Train, and all things western. He was the last of the Mohicans "Parry's."
He showed us how to focus on the most important things in life, the beauty of marriage and taking care of family (Family First!). He was the rock and foundation of our family. May his legend of love live on in each of us.
Preceded in death by his wife, Colleen; parents, three brothers, and grandson, Kory Gallagher. Survived by children, Jeff (Colleen) Parry, Kayleen (Brad) Smith, Krista (Kevin) Gallagher, Kellie (Dan) Kenison, Kari (Jeff) Berry, and Korin Hatch; grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
