Preston Eli Parish

PARISH, Preston Eli

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart we announce the peaceful passing of Preston at Soldiers Memorial Hospital in Orillia on Saturday, December 17, 2016 with family around him.  Preston will be dearly missed by loving sons Tristan and Jackson.  He will never be forgotten by his brother Tim, step-sisters Erin and Lori-Anne and step-brother Kurt.  He leaves behind his mother Karen Greenhalgh and step dad Stuart Karuzawitz, his father Tim Parish, grandparents Bob and Vera Greenhalgh.  Pre-deceased by Tom Parish.  Also missed by god mother Rhonda (Bill Sheppard), uncles; Randy, Brian, Blair, Blake and Trevor Greenhalgh and their spouses and his aunt Diane.  Preston will be missed by his many cousins and his very close and special frinds - to many to mention but you know who you are.

Preston loved the outdoors, fishing, hiking and cycling.  He was an amazing artist and had the capacity to love everyone.  He will be greatly missed but we know he is at peace and in a place where he can be whole again - without pain.  He can hang out with family and friends who have gone before him.  This isn't the end of his journey but the beginning.  Cremation has taken place.  There will be no service at Preston's request. Donations can be made to the Diabetes Foundation or Mental Health OSMH.  Messages of condolences can be left at www.peacefultransition.ca
