Jeremy Perry & Family

Early this morning, Jeremy Perry was tragically killed in a car accident on his way to work in Pensacola, the place he called home. It is not yet known if he suffered a medical emergency, or if traffic and weather played a role in the accident. Regardless, Jeremy is gone. Jeremy was a hard working husband and father, who loved his family more than anything in this world, and never passed up an opportunity to spend time with them.

His last Facebook post, posted just yesterday, reads "being a Dad is my #1 priority".

And sitting here now, looking over all of the pictures he posted of his wife and sons is just heartbreaking. He was so proud of his family, and loved them so much.

He leaves behind his wife Kimberly Perry, and their two young sons Ethan (9) and Ayden (5), as well as two older children, Daemeon (25) and Asraele (24), and a grandson, Andre (4).

Jeremy was a devoted Dad who loved spending every second with his boys. When they weren't playing catch in the front yard, they were kicking the soccer ball around, while helping his boys practice for their soccer games.

Last year when an older woman's car broke down in our neighborhood, though just having gotten off work, he went to his garage, brought all of his tools down to her car, and worked on it until she was able to drive away. She was a total stranger to him, but it didn't matter. Jeremy just did what came natural to him. He was the salt of the Earth.

I am in shock as I write this. Jeremy was such a kind and hardworking Dad.

I will never understand why things like this happen. Please join me in donating towards this fundraiser to help with his funeral expenses, and to help his wife pay the bills while she takes off work to grieve, and to figure out how to move forward without her husband, the main breadwinner of the family. Please join me in helping to alleviate the burden of bills, while she focuses on her young sons.

Thank you
