Born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Parberry graduated from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon.[1][2] After coaching in Gooding, Idaho, he became the athletic director at the College of Idaho in 1938, and its head coach in football, basketball, and baseball.[3]
Parberry served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and the Korean War, rising to the rank of lieutenant commander.[3] After his second tour ended in 1953, he joined the athletic staff at the University of Idaho as head baseball coach and assistant in football and basketball.[3][4] Previously, the head basketball coach at UI also led the baseball program, but increasing overlap between the seasons led to his hiring, taking over from Charles Finley.[3]
Parberry led the Vandal baseball program for four seasons,[5][6] then transferred to the physical education department; and Wayne Anderson succeeded him as head coach.[7] Parberry ran the intramural program and retired from the university in 1975; he and his wife Viola and relocated to McCall, where they had owned and operated summer cabins on Payette Lake for decades. The following summer, Parberry died there of a heart attack at age 64,[1] and is buried at the city cemetery.
A scholarship at the University of Idaho in physical education is awarded in his honor.
