Gregory Neil Perry

Gregory Neil Perry, 74, of Verner, West Virginia passed away peacefully, surrounded by close family and loved ones, on Thursday April 14, 2022 at his residence.  

Greg was born on January 19, 1948 in Welch, West Virginia to Opal and Juanita (Canterbury) Perry.  He was a 1966 graduate of Gilbert High School.  After graduation, he worked for the family business, O.M. Perry Sand Company.  Afterwards, Greg became self-employed and worked in construction, trucking, and real estate.  As Greg grew older, he developed a passion for aviation. He later pursued, and achieved, his dream of obtaining his pilot license. 

Greg also developed a love for Jesus Christ, and was saved on August 19, 2021.  His family is so thankful knowing that one day they will be together again in heaven.  Anyone that met Greg knew he was a kind, loving, giving person and always wanted to see the best in everyone he met. 

He was preceded in death by his father and mother: Opal and Juanita (Canterbury) Perry; two brothers: Shane and David Zane Perry; and two sisters: Sharon and infant Perry. 

Greg leaves behind his three children: Katrina (Jim) Perry of Lyburn, West Virginia; Kristi (Greg) Dotson of Winfield, West Virginia; and Tara (Steve) Davis of Grundy, Virginia. 

He also leaves behind six grandchildren: Eric, Kayla, Brooke, Kyle, Logan, and Gracie; and four great grandchildren: Cameron, Brayden, Easton and Karson.
