Todd E. Parrett, 42, of Passaic, NJ passed away on May 22, 2022. Born in Lock Haven, PA, Todd lived in Passaic for many years with his companion Julie Ortiz. Todd's exuberance for life brightened everyone's day when he was around. His motto was "Carpe Diem" and he definitely seized every opportunity to live his life to the fullest. He especially loved being outdoors, exploring nature, hiking, telling stories to make people laugh, and sharing time with his loved ones.

He was the beloved son of Diana (Welch) Parrett of Loganton, PA, and the late Carl (Ann) Parrett who passed away in 2009. He was a loving brother to Angelic (Jason) Hardy of Mackeyville, PA; Tammy Parrett of Pleasant Gap, PA; Toni (John) Shaffer of Bellefonte; and Floyd Bowmaster Jr. of Lock Haven, PA. He was a caring uncle to Jaxon and Sophia Hardy, Madison and Nathan Auman, and Devin Bowmaster, along with several aunts and uncles.

He was preceded in death by his father Carl L. Parrett, and his grandparents Willard and Mae Parrett of Millheim, PA and Edwin and Dora Welch, Sr. of Lock Haven, PA.

Cremation was private. A Memorial Gathering will be held on Thursday, June 2nd 6-8 PM at the Shook Funeral Home, 639 Van Houten Ave, Clifton, NJ. A prayer service will begin at 7 PM along with a Celebration of Life on Friday, June 3rd from 5-7PM at his sister's home in Mackeyville, PA.  All family and friends are welcome to attend one or both events.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking everyone to take a walk and enjoy nature. If you find a flower growing in an unexpected location, think of Todd. He would be honored!
