In Loving Memory of Clarence Parham

On Tuesday, September 30th, 2025, our beloved brother, father, and friend Clarence Parham tragically left this world far too soon. His passing has left our family and community heartbroken beyond words. Clarence was more than just a brother or a friend — he was a source of laughter, love, and light to everyone blessed to know him.

Clarence leaves behind his beautiful daughter I’yanna, who was truly the center of his world. He loved her more than anything, and every decision he made was with her in mind. We want to make sure she is surrounded with the love, stability, and support she deserves as she grows up carrying her father’s memory.

Clarence was known for his big heart, hard work, and vibrant spirit. He worked faithfully at the shipyard, where he built strong bonds and a second family among his coworkers. Outside of work, he found peace in the ocean, joy in fishing, and excitement in football — whether he was cheering for his team or playing a game with friends. He had a way of bringing people together and making everyone feel seen and valued.

We have created this GoFundMe to help our family through this unexpected and painful time. The funds raised will go toward memorial expenses, as well as providing long-term support for his daughter, I’yanna. Our goal is to honor Clarence’s life by ensuring that his daughter is cared for — just as he would have wanted.

No amount is too small, and every prayer, share, and contribution means the world to us. Even if you are unable to donate, please keep our family in your thoughts and help us celebrate the beautiful life Clarence lived.

Thank you for standing with us during this heartbreaking time. Clarence’s memory will live on through his daughter, his family, and all the lives he touched with his kindness and love.
