___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our PCN Flight West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

OBITUARY  :  Robert M. Parsons Jr.

IN THE CARE OF H.M. Patterson & Son-Arlington Chapel

Robert Moore Parsons, Jr., 76, of Roswell, Georgia, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2026. He was born on September 20, 1949, in McRae, Georgia.

Bob lived a life grounded in his faith in God, a deep love for his family, and a steadfast commitment to serving others. His character was marked by integrity, humility, and devotion to those around him.

 

He graduated from Georgia Tech in 1971 and went on to serve his country as a pilot in the United States Air Force, including service in Vietnam. Continuing his dedication to military service, Bob was a member of the Georgia Air National Guard from 1978 to 1991. Following his military career, he became a commercial pilot for Delta Air Lines, where he flew for 26 years and formed lasting friendships with colleagues.

 

Bob is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Emilie; his son, Robert (Bethanne); and his cherished granddaughters, Zoe and Ada, who lovingly knew him as “Daddy Bob.” He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Moore Parsons, Sr. and Josephine Pierce Parsons, and his sister, Margaret Barrow.

 

A funeral service will be held on April 16 at 1:00 p.m. at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, 955 Johnson Ferry Road, Marietta, Georgia, with a reception to follow in the Fellowship Hall.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in his memory to the American Cancer Society.
