Aaron Franklin Parsons, 57, of Valley Grove, WV, passed away suddenly at his home on Tuesday, June 23, 2026.
He was born in Wheeling, WV on August 5, 1968, a son of the late Earl Franklin and Geraldine “Jeri” Ann White. Aaron dedicated much of his life working as an independent log hauler, finding solace and purpose in the hum of his engine. His love for all things automotive was not just a career but a lifelong passion, particularly for engines, which he understood with remarkable intuition and skill. He could take apart and build anything automotive with precision. An enthusiast of Harley Davidson motorcycles, Aaron found freedom and joy on the open highways, embracing the spirit of adventure with every ride. In 2019, he had the unforgettable experience of racing his ‘69 Camaro, “The Buggy” in the J.J. Da Boss Memphis Street Outlaw Series, a testament to his daring spirit and love for the race. Aaron was known for his warm heart and always willing to lend a helping hand to those who needed him.
Aaron is survived by his two siblings, Judy (Kirk) Luzader and Eric Parsons; his significant other of many years, Christi LeMasters; three nieces, Stephanie (Bill) Crow, Ashley (Matt) Beltrondo and Erica (Jacob Boyles) Parsons; five great-nieces and nephews, Racen Crow, Ella Crow, Lorraine Beltrondo, Braxton Boyles and Hudson Boyles and his two cherished boxers, Denver and Mya.
A devoted brother, loving partner, and cherished uncle, Aaron will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family.
