Jacob Dale Parmly, 31, of Alto Pass, died Tuesday, May 21, 2024. 

He was born on May 26, 1992, in Carbondale, the son of Ronald Lane Parmly, Jennifer Susan Hickam and step-father Eric Winchester.

Jacob had a true passion for music. He was a talented and accomplished musician, playing many instruments. Some may know him by his stage name, “Fast Molasses.” 

He had a unique ability of quoting movie lines, but his true superpower was kindness. He was fiercely protective of his family, a devoted and loving son and brother and doting uncle. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed gardening and spending time in nature, hunting and foraging.
