Vladimir Vladimirov Marinov, age 41, passed away on October 12, 2020. He met the love of his life, BJ Parsons 19 years ago. He was born on February 4, 1979 to Maiya and Vladimir Marinov in Oryahovo, Bulgaria. He was employed with Royal Furniture here in Birmingham, Al. Vladimir was one of the kindest and most hard-working men one could ever meet. His sense of humor, love for family and friends, ingenuity for fixing things will always be remembered. He was an avid fisherman, a mean grill master, and made the best beef tripe soup (shkembe) in all of Alabama! The memories of Vladimir will always be held close by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, BJ Parsons; his parents, Maiya and Vladimir Marinov; sisters, Iliana Ilieva and Vera Marinova; nieces and nephews, Denissa, Teodor, Vesel, Katerina, Vladimir, Maiya, Devin, Mitchell, and Samantha. Visitation will be Saturday, October 17, 2020 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Southern Heritage Funeral Home.
