It is with great sadness and in loving memory that we share the sudden passing of Thomas (Tom) Perry on Jan. 11, 2022. Tom was born on Dec. 19, 1952, in Bakersfield, Calif., to Eugene and Betty Perry.

Tom is also survived by his sister, Sandy Smith and her son, Jesse (Pug) Smith and Brittanie, his brother Mike Perry and his wife Susan, with sons Robert Perry and Sean Perry and many other aunts, uncles and cousins.
Tom was preceded in death by his mom, his dad, his brother-in-law Jess Smith, his stepson Stephen Virgilio, and many other special uncles, aunts and cousins.
Tom worked many years in the oilfields of Taft and surrounding areas. After retiring, Tom and Candy bought a home and moved to Pinedale, Wyo., where he resided at his time of death.
Tom, Dad, Papa, you will be forever and always in our hearts and missed dearly.
