Adam Champe Parrish, 44, of Naples, FL, formerly from Pittsburgh, PA, went home to be with the Lord on May 11th, 2024 at Physicians Regional Hospital.

Born October 9th, 1979, to Delmer and Patricia Parrish, he was the youngest of two children. His “big bro,” Delmer H. Parrish, was his best friend and role model. Adam is survived by his son, Ryan C. Parrish, 11, who was his greatest joy. The times they spent together meant the world to him. He leaves behind the love of his life, his partner, Cheryl Krebs, who brought him peace and whom he loved unconditionally.

Adam moved to Naples from Pittsburgh with his family in 1989, but he carried his avid love of Pittsburgh sports with him his entire life. He was a die-hard Steelers fan, and a highlight of his life was attending Super Bowl 43, where the Steelers won their sixth ring against the Cardinals. Adam worked in the trades and hospitality industries for many years, but in his free time you could find him reading or researching historical subjects. Growing up, Adam played baseball and later coached his son’s baseball team. He was loyal, fun, and family-oriented, valuing time spent with his family above all else. Adam had a talent for making friends everywhere he went, and always maintained a positive attitude.

Adam was preceded in death by his father, Delmer Parrish, who waits for him at the Door to Heaven. He is survived by his son, Ryan; mother, Patricia; brother and sister-in-law, Delmer and Renee Parrish; his niece and nephew, Aleksandra and Del II; and many beloved  cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends.

Adam’s departure is a great shock felt keenly by his loved ones. We will all dearly miss his
presence, humor, and energy.
