Johnny Parham

March 24, 1947 — May 14, 2021

Johnny William Parham, 74, passed away on Friday, March 14, 2021 at his home. Born on March 24, 1947 in Amory, he was a son to Oscar and Dorothy Louise Miller Parham. He attended Hatley High School and married the former Vicki Carnathan on February 4, 1978. For several years, he worked for Loden’s Body Shop and then owned and operated Parham’s Body Shop for many years. When he wasn’t working you could often find him on the racetrack and enjoyed dirt track racing for over 30 years, traveling all over the southeast. He was an all-around outdoorsman and loved to hunt and fish. He had no better time than to ride through the deer hills. As a result of his hunting, he made many, many good friends whom he cherished. One of his hunting highlights was to travel to Newfoundland to hunt moose and to hunt the ring-neck pheasant in Kansas and deer and elk in Colorado. Johnny was always busy doing something never sitting down. He was a member of the New Hope Church of Christ.
