Obituary of Timothy Edmund Perry

In the dawn of Thursday morning at 6:26 AM, Timothy Edmund Perry, quietly and peacefully completed his earthly journey of fifty-six years and passed into the waiting arms of our Lord and Savior. Today, we remember and celebrate the life of our unique and precious, “Timmy,” as he was affectionately known by all. Timmy was born on October 31, 1963, the third child to Florence Perry and the late Thomas Perry Sr.. Timothy truly had a vibrant and one of a kind personality. He was full of life and laughter. Timothy was a sensitive, loving, and very kind-hearted person. He enjoyed spending time with his children and had an amusing sense of humor. He loved to visit with friends and just relax. His very favorite past time was watching Law and Order, baby-sitting his grandchildren, and enjoying a cold beer. Timothy was educated in The Lawnside School District and graduated from Haddon Heights Highschool in 1982. He was a man of many talents, skilled as an auto mechanic, certified electrician, and CDL licensed driver. He was quite the handy-man. Timothy accepted the Lord as his personal savior and was a member of First Church of God under the leadership of Pastor Tyrone S. Billingsley located in Camden, NJ. He served proudly as an usher and church custodian. Timothy leaves to cherish his loving memories: mother, Florence Perry-Gaffin, step-father Robert Gaffin, four daughters: Tashanna Perry, Tameca Perry-Parks (Ricky), Carmen Perry, Teresa Perry; two sons: Timothy Perry Jr., Timmere Perry; fourteen grand-children; three sisters: Wendy Venable (Larry), Michelle Perry-Thompson (Jay), Petrese Perry; one brother: Thomas E. Perry Jr. (Denise); as well as a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a special friend Eddie.
