Obituary of George DeParre Jr.

George DeParre Jr. George DeParre Jr. passed away in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 12, 2023. He was 68 years of age. George was born April 2nd, 1954, to George and Mary DeParre. One of six children, he was raised in a loving, traditional family. His father instilled in him a great work ethic, which he carried throughout his life. He was an asset to every employer he worked for; and was appreciated by all who employed him as a good reliable worker. Happily married for 27 years to his wife Marguerite, he was a loving husband and provider. He found great joy in the life they shared together with their pets and their grandchildren. He loved golf and would jump at the chance to play with his golf buddies. One of his favorite leisure activities other than playing golf, was watching golf. The man had golf in his blood. George also loved his pets; there have been many dogs who enjoyed the best life any dog could wish for because they had the good fortune to become his fur babies. We can only imagine the crowd of wagging tails that met him at the gate. Everyone who knew George knew he was a good man, the best of men. He was there for his friends and family whenever they needed him, and even sometimes when they didn’t. George was the kind of person who made you feel welcome the moment you met him. George is survived by his son Michael DeParre, his daughter Jaci Vazquez (Carlos), and by his granddaughters Willow and Violet, who he so dearly loved. He is also survived by his sisters Cynthia Lestalla (Vince), Joellen D’Arcy (Rich), and his brother Perry DeParre. He leaves behind Marguerite, his loving wife of 27 years, who will miss him greatly and will hold him in her heart for the rest of her life.
