I was deeply saddened to hear about Tad Parrett's passing. Over the years, I had the privilege of working with him several times a week at the Ascension Health Club. He was always a bright, positive, and energetic presence. Tad genuinely cared for everyone he worked with, and I admired his passion for his work as an athletic trainer, as well as his love for the sports of baseball and fishing, and for his dog.
Tad's eagerness for further education and personal growth stood out. He was always striving to learn more, and his drive inspired those around him. Even when life presented challenges, he never lost his kindness or sense of humor. I will miss our conversations and his uplifting spirit.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and everyone who knew him. He will be greatly missed.
With deepest sympathy,
John Barnett
