Kevin Perry, known affectionately as Kev, was born on June 21, 1999, in Detroit, MI, and passed away on October 16, 2024, in the same city he called home. A devoted father and family man, Kevin's life revolved around his son, Kevin Perry Jr., whom he cherished deeply. His proudest achievement was becoming the father he always wanted for himself, and his relationship with his son was a source of immense joy.

Kevin had a unique personality marked by his dark humor and an incredibly pure heart. He found joy in the simple things, such as taking walks with his beloved dogs, Cocoa and Buddy, and spending quality time with his mother and family. He often reminded those around him with his favorite saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” reflecting his laid-back approach to life.

Survived by his parents, Diane and Vernon Perry, and a large family, including his brothers ArMani, Amir, Brandon, Reginald, and David, as well as his sisters Lashaun, Lashawnda, Kaila, Chantel, and Chanel, Kevin’s absence will be profoundly felt by all. His family knew him as a provider and unwavering support system who always aimed to help those he loved.

Anecdotes from his life highlight his caring nature. When he was just 16, he came home past curfew, prompting a reprimand from his mother. However, in a surprising turn, he revealed a stack of cash he had earned, which he later left for her to help with bills, showcasing his selflessness and desire to take care of his family.

Kevin will be missed dearly, and his legacy of love, laughter, and dedication to family will continue to resonate in the hearts of all who knew him.
