At 9:00PM, Wednesday, November 18, 2020 our joker of a Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend to all fell to the floor; his heart stopped. He coded (heart attack), CPR was used until paramedics arrived, stubborn joker had to get defibrillated 4X to get his heart going again, he is still having issues. He was life flighted to hospital, placed in ICU where it has been touch and go. He is still on a ventilator and is currently in a coma. They did Induced Therapeutic hypothermia until certain organs like kidneys are functioning within normal range; however that did not seem help. Perry is a T1D or Type 1 Diabetic since the age of 13. His kidneys are not functioning properly, and his brain shows severe swelling. He has NOT been able to have various treatments and imagining studies due to being at risk of further complications.

He has been married for 50 years, has 2 daughters, and 3 grandchildren. His Family IS his life. He truly is a good man with a heart of gold and a zest for life. He is a friend to al as he can’t go anywhere without knowing someone. To all who know him, he loved to laugh, joke around, pull pranks and just live in the moment.
He was God’s helper. He would give the shirt off his back to help someone in need. He would help people WITHOUT recognition, acknowledgement, or even to be paid back. Perry was a man of integrity.

He is loved by so many and during this extreme difficult time we ask for your Prayers that God will completely Heal him and supply the monetary support for his ongoing medical bills.

Please see his Caring Bridge site to see updates.

Thank you from the Smith Family and May God Bless You and Keep You Safe!
