Perry served in the U.S army for 4 years. He retired from UPS after being employed with them for 25+ years. He was always a protector of the ones he loved. If he didn't like you, you would know it. He loved to make dark humor jokes and spend time with his grandchildren and wife. He loved fishing, parties, Ohio State football and the famous Green Bay Packers.

Perry leaves behind his loving wife and partner of 40 years, Ginger Graves; their children, Ashley & Gary Graves; two grandchildren, Zoey & Anakin; his loving sister, April Keller; sister-in-law, Holly Paiva; nieces and nephews he treated like his own, Jennifer Cole, Kristie Baum, Tommy & Kelly Baum, and Estefania & Nemesio Vasquez; and many other family and friends who will miss him dearly.

He left us with so many good memories. To know him was to love him. He is now at peace and finally reunited with his father, Gary in heaven where all things are beautiful. This isn't goodbye but a see you later "Uncle P".
