Jorge's obituary

With hearts full of love and gratitude, we remember, Jorge Armando Parada, a devoted father, son, brother, and friend.

Born and raised in DeLand, Florida, Jorge carried a deep love for Jesus and a passion for sharing God’s word with others—a faith that guided him through every joy and challenge of his life.

Jorge took great pride in his work as a lineman, a career that reflected his commitment to service and strength of character. His work was not just a profession but a calling—an embodiment of his courage, dedication, and selflessness.

Outside of work, Jorge found his greatest joy in spending time with his children, sharing laughter with loved ones, and fishing. These simple, meaningful moments brought him lasting happiness and peace.

Those who knew Jorge will forever remember his generous spirit, contagious smile, and unwavering faith. He had a special gift for making others feel loved, supported, and seen. His light continues to shine brightly in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.

While we grieve his loss, we rejoice in knowing that Jorge is now resting in the arms of his Savior. His spirit is free, his heart is at peace, and his faith has led him home.

He is survived by his beloved children, Logan Riggs Parada and Mary May-Lee Parada; his mother, Delfina Rodriguez; father, Rogelio Parada; and stepfather, Carlos Jose Reyes. He is also survived by his brother, Rogelio Jr. Parada (Kayla Smith); sisters, Marisela Alicea (Anthony Alicea), Valentina Parada (Michael Torres), Claudia Parada (Miguel Ramirez), and Mariana Parada (Emanuel Medina); along with many cherished nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his loving church family at Pentecostals of DeLand.

A visitation will be held at Lankford Funeral Home in DeLand, Florida on Friday, October 31, 2025, from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM.

There will be a funeral service at Pentecostals of DeLand on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 3:00 PM with a burial to follow.

Though Jorge’s time with us was far too short, his faith, laughter, and love will continue to guide all who knew him. Heaven gained a faithful soul, and we gained a guardian above.
