Stephen Parish

On May 15, 1977, Stephan Christopher Parish, was born to Joseph Rosborough and Floretha Parish in Houston, Texas. He was baptized at the early age of twelve (12), at Second Shiloh Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend L. Davis.

Stephan, affectionately known as “G.S.” to all who loved him, received his education in the Houston Independent School District. He was extremely athletic, holding several records in both Junior High and High School athletics.

Stephan continued his love for sports into adulthood. He was an avid movie watcher and most importantly, he loved the Word of God. His favorite saying was, “I’m a true soldier for the Lord our God.”

He worked in many fields throughout his lifetime. Just before his passing, Stephan was working a job that he enjoyed greatly. He was highly praised by his coworkers and management, who also expressed great sorrow  upon hearing of his passing.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Floretha Parish-Fisher; grandfather, Luches Parish; grandmother, Josephine S. Parish and two (2) aunts, Sylvia  and Beverly Parish.
