It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of William Robert "Bob" Perry, age 83, on March 18, 2026.
Born on January 31, 1943, in Kingsport, Tennessee, Bob was a lifelong resident of the area, living most of his life in Bloomingdale. He was an avid truck driver for over 45 years and concluded his career as an owner-operator in 2005.
Bob was preceded in death by his father, William Kenneth Perry; his mother, Kate (Dalton) Perry; and his brother, Jon B. Perry.
He is survived by his son, Brian Perry (Carrie); his daughter, Amy Louthan (James); his grandchildren, Aaron Perry (Haley), Jacob Perry, Olivia Perry, and Nikki Louthan; as well as five great-grandchildren.
A graveside service will be held at East Lawn Cemetery in the Garden of the Good Shepherd on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Family and friends are welcome to attend.
