Daniel Perry Obituary

Daniel Ray Perry

Daniel Perry, 58, left us too soon on August 4th, 2015 with his family by his side.

Danny was born in Lawrence, KS the son of Russell Perry and Dorothy Mayse Cobb, who preceded him in death. Danny was a graduate from Lawrence High School.

He was a "jack of all trades" and worked as an independent contractor and also as a maintenance technician for Midwest Property Mgt. He was an avid race fan and loved his involvement with Thunder Lake go-cart and leading up to Thunder Hills stock car racing. He will be remembered for being the wisecracker of the bunch and always having a witty remark. He loved taking his great nephew for Sunday drives around the lake and fishing too.

Danny was so well loved by his many friends and family and will be missed by all that knew him and was touched by his kind hearted soul.

He is survived by his sister Phyllis, nieces Selenna and Amanda (Shawn), great nephew Jaiden and great niece Cassandra and great great niece Loraynah.

A memorial gathering and luncheon will be held for all that knew him on Saturday August 8th 1:30-4:00 at the Community Building 115 W 11th St Lower Level Room #1. A private cremation service for his immediate family will be held at a later date.

So many good memories, endless laughing in our times together. Dan can not be replaced in our lives. He is a friend that became family. We will love him always, and miss him forever.Years ago Dan did repair work at a daycare,. This is the song the children sang to him each time he showed up. Dan Dan he's our man. If Dan can't fix it no one can. See you in our next lives.
