Kim A. Parry peacefully returned to his Heavenly Father on August 28, 2026, leaving behind a life defined by faith, service, love, and quiet strength. He was a spiritual giant and a protector of many, a man who devoted his life to serving the Lord and caring for those around him.

Kim was born in Price, Utah, on February 8, 1956, to Tom and Dian Parry. He grew up to become a man defined by his devotion to God. His faith was unwavering, his love was pure, and his heart was always turned toward others. Above all, Kim's greatest earthly blessing was his beloved wife, Cindy, whom he cherished with his whole heart, and the family they built together.

Kim was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served the Lord valiantly throughout his life, including serving full-time in the LDS Florida, Tallahassee Mission. He held numerous Church callings and cherished his time serving as bishop of the Tremonton 4th Ward in the Tremonton Utah Stake. His faith was not just something he practiced; it was who he was.

Kim married the love of his life, Cindy (Ruby Lucinda Scott) Parry, in the Salt Lake City Utah Temple on February 25, 1978. Theirs was a marriage people dream of. He loved her with his whole heart, fiercely and completely, for always. Together, they created a loving home where they raised their children: Cory, who preceded him in death; Trisha; Shawn; Lacie; and Cameron.

Kim was so gently and profoundly proud of his family, though he carried that pride quietly and humbly. He worked so hard throughout his life, always wanting to provide for his family and give them the best life he could. He never needed recognition for all that he did; loving and caring for them was simply part of who he was. He found his greatest joy in watching his children and grandchildren grow, succeed, and become the people they were meant to be. He was proud of each of them in his own way, and they never had to wonder how much they meant to him. To Kim, there was nothing more important than his family, and there was nothing he would not do for the people he loved. Kim was deeply loved by every member of his family. To know him was to love him, and to be loved by him was one of life’s greatest gifts.

Kim spent his life serving others; it was one of the ways he showed his love. Acts of service were his love language, whether through a calling in the Church or simply by quietly taking care of whoever needed him. He was always looking for ways to help, to serve, and to make someone else’s life a little better. He also found great joy in the things he loved, especially BYU football, hunting, fishing, and watching his children and grandchildren play baseball. He treasured the memories made outdoors with his father, his friends, and his children.

Kim was deeply devoted to his career and sincerely loved his work family. He spent nearly 49 years at Northrop Grumman, (formerly known as Thiokol). Although his official title was Inspector #12833, he was affectionately known as “The Legend” and a hero. The name suited him well. Kim had a remarkable gift for uplifting the people around him and making them feel seen, valued, and appreciated. He made it a priority to help each of his co-workers recognize their own worth and know that they were loved. His influence reached far beyond the work he did. He left people feeling better about themselves simply because they had the privilege of knowing him.

Kim often expressed how blessed he felt to live in such a beautiful valley surrounded by wonderful people. He was genuinely grateful for his neighbors, friends, and community, and he never took for granted the privilege of calling this valley home.

Kim will be remembered for his relentless devotion to the Lord, to his sweetheart Cindy, to his kids and grandkids, and friends who became family. He leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and selflessness that will continue through those who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his wife, Cindy; children Trisha Judkins (Josh), Shawn (Katie), Lacie Larsen (Justin), and Cameron (Chelette); and his grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son, Cory; his brother, Scott; and his parents, Tom and Dian.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, September 5th at 12:00 p.m. Viewings will be held on Friday, September 4th from 6:00–8:00 p.m. and on September 5th from 10:00–11:30 a.m. All services will be held at the Tremonton Stake Center located at 660 N. 300 E. in Tremonton.
