Michael Parham, 62, of Six Mile, SC passed into God's grace in peace September 13th, 2012.

Born David Michael Parham on August 8th, 1950, in Spartanburg, SC, he was the son of Betty Hope Parham and the late Herbert Lee Parham Sr. He married his loving wife, Judy Hightower in 1971.

Mr. Parham graduated Clemson University in 1972, and South Carolina School of Law in 1975. He was a member of the society of Whig and Robe, and the recipient of the American Jurisprudence Award in Criminal Law.

He began practicing law as a plaintiff's attorney for Abrams, Bowen, Robertson and Tapp Law Firm in 1975, later becoming a founding partner of Parham and Smith Law Firm. He was a member of the American Bar Association, South Carolina's Trial Lawyers Association, The Inner Circle of Advocates, and the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline.

Generous, kind and loving, he left his mark on many lives, helping give a voice to those who could not speak for themselves.

He will also be missed by Tulip, Little Bud, Amos and granddog Arbor.

Above all family was his life's work. A loving husband, steadfast father and devoted son, he truly practiced unconditional love and understanding towards all. He was a self-proclaimed "Yellow Dog Democrat" and a fiercely loyal Clemson Tiger.
