APRIL 6th, 1961
Robert Derek Parsons, born in 1961, has sadly passed away January 27th, 2022. He is predeceased by his mother Marjorie Susan Parsons, father Ernest Arthur Parsons and sister Barbara-Jo Parsons. Survived by his daughter Dezzeray Deneise Dianne Parsons, partner Mandy Gerry, sister Paulette Willett, brother in-law Steve Willett, brother Lorne Parsons, sister Wendy van Schaik, his four cats (Lili, Bella Boo, Mouse, & Kit Kat) & numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Rob was a Jack of all trades, and his hobbies were many. He was artist, singer, dancer, cook, instructor, builder, carpenter, roadie, custodian, and gamer.
Like Rob always said, "I stick out like a turd in a punch bowl."
He touched many lives in many ways. When Rob entered a room, his colorful personality hit you like a Tsunami.
His Viewing will be held at Sands Memorial in Langford, 317 Goldstream Ave, on Saturday February 19th at 2pm-4pm. There will be a virtual viewing for those who are unable to attend.
ROBISMS - Life According to Rob
"You can never see depth on the surface."
"I have a six pack of Jello Jigglers."
"I'm down by the ocean. I keep wading and wading... but I just can't kelp myself."
"I'm as temperamental as a mime."
"The ying & yang of the wing & wang."
"I'm famous but very well unknown."
"Why are people prejudice? We're all from vagina."

At my father's viewing there will be white origami lions and pens for anyone who wishes to write something to my dad to place in his coffin. They will be cremated with him. I will be posting a photo when more are complete.
