It is with immense sadness as we mourn the tragic death of our friend D'Sean Emir Perry. D'Sean had the kindest soul and a positive impact on anyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His ability to put a smile on anyone's face regardless of the situation made him truly special. He was a leader on and off the field who strived to be the best, encouraged everyone else to be their best, and excelled in the classroom. He was a man of faith who loved his friends, family, community, and football deeply. An avid lover of art and music whose artistic ability was unmatched. D'Sean was an integral part of the University of Virginia football program and worked harder and harder every day. Earning his role on the team was a super important moment in his life. He was the most unique and talented person that I've had the privilege to call my friend. D'Sean was truly one of a kind and I cannot begin to imagine the pain Happy, Sean, Dominique, D'Shandra, and his extended family are feeling during this impossibly tragic time. Losing a child is unimaginable and I ask for your assistance in lessening the burden and donating to assist the family during this terrible tragedy. All proceeds will go to the Perry family.

Anything is deeply appreciated.

May he rest in peace.
