You will be greatly missed, growing up you guys were my first friends. Perry you helped my dad get his first championship! I remember when y’all moved your mom would call my nanny to see if I could come swim and rode our 3 wheelers in the snow. I could go on and on with the memories. But you were a real one. May you rest in peace and when you get to heaven just know my Daddy is ready to talk fishing and football. Rest in Heaven

To a father not by blood, but by heart.
Your love, care, and understanding have left an indelible mark on my life. You were a source of strength and wisdom, always ready to lend a hand or offer kind words. Your responsibility and unwavering support touched not only me but everyone fortunate enough to know you.
You were more than a friend, you were family. Thank you for being a father to me in every way that mattered. Your legacy of love and kindness will live on in our hearts forever.
Rest peacefully, knowing you are deeply loved and will never be forgotten.
With love and gratitude,
ERIKA

We are so sad to hear of Perry's passing. He was always such a comfort to others, never mentioning his own struggles unless you asked. When he first talked to us about his diagnosis his main goal was to make it to meet that grand baby! We were so glad they were able meet. May God comfort you all in your time of grief. Perry will be greatly missed.

Perry was and always will be a special person in the hearts of our Hogan family. We’ve shared tears, belly laughs and many stories together. Perry was a great listener and a compassionate servant. Yes, I know his biological family hurt and miss him terribly but just think of that great reunion that will be had when we are joined together in Heaven.
