On the recordFebruary 13, 2018
On Saturday morning, Ron Parish of Yorkville, Illinois, passed from the loving arms of his wife, Becky, into the open arms of Jesus. Ron was a lifelong salesman whose career included RC Cola, Nabisco, McCormick spice company, and more. After he retired, he faithfully served our community's homeless at Kendall County PADS. Ron's people skills served him well in business and in his relationships. He was always reaching out to friends and strangers alike. He would ask how they are doing, how he could help, and he was always pointing them to Jesus. In fact, Ron and Becky introduced my family to their church, Harvest New Beginnings, and they were the very first to greet us on that God- ordained day 3 years ago when we first visited Harvest New Beginnings. It has become our home church. Ron was 75 years old and is survived by Becky; two children, Ron, Jr., and Rhonda; four grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends. I know you are smiling down on us now, Ron. Well done, good and faithful servant. ____________________
