Jonah Parsons, age 47 of Isanti, died August 13, 2021 at his home. A memorial gathering will be held 2:00 to 5:00 PM Saturday, August 28th at Strike Life Tributes in Isanti.
Jonah Daniel Parsons was born on November 26, 1973 in St. Paul, Minnesota to Edward and Diane (Mellum) Parsons. The family moved to Isanti, Minnesota where Jonah attended school and graduated from Cambridge Isanti High School in 1992.
Jonah enjoyed camping, hunting and fishing with his dad, family and friends. He worked briefly as a machinist and for the past twenty years as a welder on semi-trailers.
Jonah passed away, August 13, 2021 at his home at the age of 47. Jonah will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Ed and Dede Parsons; his sisters, Missy (Ken) Crowell and Melanie (Nate) Harris; his nieces and nephews, Mariah Grabenbauer, Kyle Crowell, Lucas Parsons, Reese Crowell and Olivia Harris; by many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends in his large extended family. He is also survived by his cats, Bubba and Chance, whom he loved very much.
The Parsons family holds such fond memories for me. DeeDee and Eddy were always so supportive and caring of their children no matter the challenge. Jonah was the youngest and the only boy. My memory of Jonah is of a young man with a quick smile and long, flowing blond hair that captured the sunlight.
Eddy, his dad, and Jonah were very close. Eddy taught Jonah how to hunt and fish. He imbued Jonah with a love of nature and respect for wildlife. DeeDee called and chatted with Jonah nearly every day until he died. Now that he is at peace it is my wish that they will be comforted in the knowledge that Jonah died knowing that his parents loved him unconditionally. Rest in peace, Jonah.
Ed, Dede, Missy and Melanie we are very sorry for your lose. Jonah will be greatly missed. Your love as a family and your many memories will bring you peace in the days ahead and strength to face the future.
With love and deepest sympathy
