Perry, Peter Frederick Joseph (Jr.)
November 21st, 2020
Passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, November 21, 2020, surrounded by his family and friends, in both presence and prayers, at the age of 38, after a brave battle with cancer. Beloved husband of Michelle Marcus Perry. Survived by his father Peter J. Perry and stepmother Barbara J. Perry; his mother Donelda Jane Riley and stepfather Dan Riley. Loving brother of Rose Cora Perry (Tyler Randall); stepbrother of Jason Begley (Emily), Luke Begley (Dana), and Tim Begley. Proud uncle of Elianna, Brennan, Theo, Teagan, Hunter, Emma, Jack, Maverick, and D’Angelo. Dear son-in-law of Moni and Kai Marcus; and brother-in-law of Michael Marcus (Carolina). Cherished nephew of Marianne Perry (Bud), Barbara Perry (Nick), Randy Butcher (Brenda), John Beighton (Kelly), Joanne Overton (Mark), Campbell Seeber, Grace Cottle and Fern Becker. Missed by his cousins: Allison Seeber (Richard), Joseph Seeber (Heather), Randi Butcher (Andrew), Mitchell Butcher, Margaret Beighton, Emily Whalen, Morgan Overton, David Cottle; and by his many extended family members and friends.
Those who had the pleasure of knowing Pete will remember him as an intelligent, sweet, sensitive and fun-loving man who was big on family and tradition. His positivity, strength, kindness and courage – even in the face of adversity – will no doubt inspire others for years to come. Countless photos of him enjoying time on the lake at the cottage with his dear friends like Everett and his family, point to his deep love of fishing; the favourite shared hobby of his father. He and his sister were bound together by a passion and talent for music and guitar playing, with numerous debates on which bands rocked the hardest. His good friend Barry also shared the same passion for music with Pete. Michelle and Pete enjoyed being out in nature, taking peaceful walks, and partaking in team sports like curling. Pete had some incredible athletic accomplishments, such as bench pressing 365 Ibs at a body weight of 170 Ibs and also repping out 235 Ibs 29 times. Also, Pete accomplished a first degree black belt in goju-ryu karate along with his sister Rose. Hitting the slopes with his family was his favourite winter sport. He dreamed big like his parents and accomplished much in his short time with us, including becoming a professional in not one but two trades: a plumber and a gas fitter. Pete also loved animals and was the proud pet parent of several pups and fish as both a child and adult. While his spirit is now up in heaven, his memory will live on forever. We love you Pete. Thank you for all the incredible ways in which you touched our lives.
