Obituary of Michael Richard Parente

Michael Richard Parente, 62, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 3, 2020, in Tucson, AZ, surrounded by his wife and family.  He was born on July 2, 1958 and raised in Tucson. 

Michael was preceded in death by his mother Loraine Parente, brother Joseph Parente and grandparents Rogers and Parente.  He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Lynn Parente, his son Derek Parente, father, Joe (Karen) Parente, stepson, Brian Ciaccio, four nephews, Matthew (Chantel), Joey, Danny, Jacob Parente and grandchildren Giovanni and Daunte Ciaccio.

Michael loved his family, friends, and neighbors.  He was our BBQ and fix-it man.  Michael had the gift of gab and an awesome sense of humor; he loved to laugh, travel and make spaghetti and meatballs.  We traveled from Washington, DC to Hawaii (twice).  Michael was an avid golfer.  If you golfed with Michael, you know who you are and know that he loved you dearly.      

Due to current circumstances, a Memorial Service will be held for 10 close family members and friends at Brings Broadway Chapel on Thursday 07-09-20 at 1:00pm.  Friends may sign the guest book and attend the service remotely at http://webcast.funeralvue.com/events/viewer/32700

Our family would like to thank Peppi’s Hospice for their kind caregivers, especially Gayle for her compassion and concern for Michael and our family.
