It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Riley A. Perry. Riley was the heart of our family: a devoted husband, a proud father, a loving grandfather, and a friend to anyone lucky enough to know him.

He was kind, goofy, and full of life — always quick with a story from his younger days and even quicker to lend a helping hand. His thick Cajun accent and easygoing spirit made him unforgettable. He had a way of making everyone feel welcome, and he never let a good moment pass without a laugh.

Riley loved his family deeply. Whether it was cheering on his grandkids, cooking something up on the grill or simply sitting on the porch and telling stories, he made sure we all knew how much we meant to him.

As we prepare to say goodbye and lay him to rest, we’re asking for help with his funeral expenses. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward giving Riley the dignified farewell he deserves. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you keep our family in your prayers and help us by sharing this message.

Thank you for supporting us as we honor the life of a man who meant so much to so many.

With love and gratitude,

—The Perry Family
