Jeffrey Perry

Oct 2, 1949 - Aug 31, 2025

Sandusky

Jeffrey Thomas Perry, 75, most recently of Sandusky, passed away Sunday, August 31, 2025, at Parkvue Care Center. Jeff was born in Bellevue, October 2, 1949, to the late Tom Perry and Eilene (Krueger) Perry. Jeff was a graduate of Fremont Ross High School and Cleveland State University. He spent his career in retail, both managing stores and working for vendors. He also assisted his brother Brad's business by helping with project work with cooperatives in Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin. After his father's death in 1998, he moved back to the family home north of Clyde and became his mother's primary caregiver until her passing.

Jeff had an encyclopedic memory of sports trivia that would rival Google. It would be put to the test on the annual "Brothers' Weekend" trips with Kris and Brad. These trips were activities such as March Madness, Spring Training, the College World Series, NBA games, and NHL matches. Thankfully, Jeff was able to attend March Madness this year in Cleveland. Kris was there in spirit.

Survivors include his partner of 35 years, Lanai Pruitt; sister-in-law, Cathy Perry; brother, Brad (Lynn) Perry; niece, Adriene Perry; nephew Benjamin (Ava) Perry, and grand-nieces Maura, Clare and Armaity. Jeff was preceded in death by his parents, brother Kris and sister Ginger.

A memorial service for Jeff will be at First United Methodist Church of Clyde, Saturday, October 11 , 2025, at 4 p.m. A light meal will be served afterwards in the Fellowship Hall.

Memorials can be directed to the First United Methodist Church, Clyde, OH.

Arrangements entrusted to Auxter-Recker Funeral Home, Clyde, OH.

And Jeff would also want you to know…. he didn't vote for him.
