John Harold Parnell, 71, of Hughes, Arkansas passed away Monday January 3, 2022.

John was a Vietnam veteran and was very proud to have served his country. In his spare time, you could usually find him visiting with his friends at the U-Haul store, watching his favorite television show, or playing his solitaire game on his phone. John was the type of person to where if he didn't give you a hard time, then he didn't like you.
There will be no services at this time, but a memorial will be held at a later date. He will be greatly missed.
John, I couldn’t believe when I heard that you had passed. I had just talked to you three weeks before. Now you are at peace.
My deepest condolences. We are thinking you all of you . Prayers, love
Uncle John, you were the first one to ever give me a ride on a motorcycle.. We rode from mom's funeral back to the house.. Momma was always jealous of your hair by the way. Fly High Uncle John. I love you.
