Mark Allan Parrish, 63, of Laramie, Wyoming passed away on Monday, March 16, 2020 at Ivinson Memorial Hospital. Mark was born to Allan and Lois Parrish in 1956 in Orange, CA.
The family moved to Sioux Falls, SD where Mark was raised. He graduated from Washington Senior High School in Sioux Falls in May, 1974. In 1978, Mark moved to Laramie, WY where he resided for 42 years. After a few temporary jobs, Mark took a job with Big Horn Lumber Company, where he worked for over 30 years, until the mill closed its doors. He finished his career working as a Preventive Maintenance Technician for the University of Wyoming. Mark married in 1984 and with his wife, Robyn, raised a daughter, Heather Kanada. Mark was an avid outdoorsman. He loved hunting, fishing and camping in the mountains of Wyoming. There was no place he’d rather be.
Mark is survived by his wife, Robyn, his daughter, Heather Kanada, his sisters, Susan Sender and Sandra Conforti, and his brother, Kelly Mikkelson as well as several nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
At Mark’s request, no services will be held. Condolences may be sent to 511 S. Spruce St., Laramie, WY 82072.
