JOHN FLEMING PARROTT
September 20, 1946 - January 4, 2020

John Fleming Parrott passed away in his sleep on the 16th year anniversary of his accident. He lived a wild life that both provoked and inspired those he came in contact with.
JP embraced his passion for skydiving. He enjoyed a lifetime total of 2,302 jumps with 50 jumps on his 50th birthday that raised funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Winnipeg. After his accident, John personally developed and funded a program that assisted new skydivers with their licenses through the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association.
Our great Canadian north was a penchant throughout life for John that he celebrated and supported by knowledge-sharing and working in our breathtaking, heritage-rich North.
John is survived by his sons, Quinn (Keri) and Eric; daughter Korri (Steve); sisters, Diane (Ross), Connie and Susan (Gordon); grandchildren, Nick, Matthias, Vienna and Elizabeth; and niece Sarah. John is also lovingly remembered by many other supportive and caring friends and family: James W., Brian and Candace, Jeff and Michelle, Bernice F., Jim and Gertie, Tannis, Vi and Liz, Jules, Justin, Glaiza.
Memorial service and interment details will be announced at a future date.
In lieu of flowers, and to honour John's board position with Community Respite Services, donations made to the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities (SMD) are greatly appreciated.
