Nehemiah ’s Story

Site created on July 26, 2021

Our Dad is so selfless and will do anything for anyone. He’s been a huge community supporter for years and will do anything to help a stranger.

On July 8th our Dad tested positive for COVID-19. His symptoms began to worsen over the next day, and he was beginning to have a hard time breathing. He was admitted to the hospital on July 9th. When admitted, they put him on oxygen, began antibiotics and were using a BiPAP to help maintain his oxygen levels and breathing. This was helping him to slowly progress in the right direction. However, on July 18th the doctors discovered a secondary infection in his lungs that caused him to regress in his progress. At that point, they decided to place him on a ventilator to help his lungs recover, also fight the new infection, and bring up his oxygen levels.

We are confident that Dad will pull through this and appreciate all the support! Looking to give? Please visit our Go Fund Me page: https://gofund.me/405423f8


Thank You,
Josh, Chris, Ben and Katie Parah

Journal entry by Josh Parah


Unfortunately, Dad lost his fight today. Nehemiah Parah was the best man I ever knew. We are completely devastated but know that he is no longer struggling. Even though this did not work to our favor, we firmly believe Dads mission was accomplished. Gods promises are real. Dad never took his eye off the prize and that was Jesus. Our family will go on but just in a different way. It’s never goodbye only “see ya later”.  We love you Dad - see ya later. 

P.S. Dads Celebration of Life arrangements are being discussed and we will share those details as soon as we can. Thank you all for the support. We love our friends and family! God Bless.
