Michael Parnell 1970-2009
Complete with his own intriguing set of eccentricies, Michael brought a virtuosity and a passion to his playing that was impossible to ignore. A disciple of "The Erics"(Clapton and Johnson) Michael thrilled and amazed Dinosaur fans and created an admiring following of his own.
We lost Michael on September 12, 2009 in a tragic accident in which he was struck by a vehicle at night on Hwy 160 in Durango, CO. Although stunned and saddened by this loss that seems untimely, we celebrate his life and thank Michael for the unique contributions he brought to the world through his incredible musical talent, his love of animals, and his kind and gentle demeanor.
Goodbye Michael. We will never forget you, and we will miss you dearly.
