Weston Owen Parris MBE (died June 1992, aged 64) was a Nevisian public servant who served as the first Deputy Governor-General for Nevis from his appointment in 1983 until his death.
At the independence ceremony for Saint Kitts and Nevis becoming independent from the United Kingdom on 19 September 1983, Parris was officially appointed as the first Deputy Governor-General for Nevis.[2][3] He subsequently gave the inaugural throne speech for the new Nevis Island Assembly in October 1983.[2] Parris was formerly a schoolmaster.[4]
