how to override parent functions.php in child functions.php

Hope someone can help, am looking for some suggestions on how to override/replace some functions that are loading in a parent theme and move them into the child theme so we can make alterations to the files themselves in the child theme.

We will “duplicate” the structure and files into the child theme, but can’t yet find a way to “unload” the original parent theme files and then load the child theme files we want to alter instead.

Essentially it’s all the “require” files listed below that we will duplicate and alter in the child theme, but need to find some way to override the parents functions.php.

We have tried multiple ways to do this but just can’t seem to get it to work so far.

THIS IS THE CURRENT PARENT FUNCTIONS.PHP:
