John Perry Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on February 14, 2026, John Perry of Columbia, South Carolina passed away. Family and friends are welcome to send flowers or leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid John farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For John is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He is survived by: his wife Betty Howell Perry; his sons, Johnny Perry of Raleigh, NC, Calvin Perry of East Rutherford, NJ, Steven Howell of Columbia, SC and Tony Howell of Covington, GA; and his brother Willie Perry of Texas. He is also survived by five grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
