Those proceeded him in death, both parents, James and Ella Mae Perry, sisters, Willie Mae Stewart, and Mary Davison. Three brothers, James Perry Jr, Andrew Ray Perry, and Johnny Perry.

Those that knew “Cookie” enjoyed his laid back, chill personality. He enjoyed the outdoors and reminiscing on “ole” times, or discussing world matters, or telling interesting tales about interesting encounters he’d personally experienced. He enjoyed watching old western movies, beer, listening to Motown, or the Blues. But most of all, we will miss his infectious laugh that would lighten the mood and soften the heart.
