Obituary of Michael Anthony Perry

Michael Anthony Perry 1960-2020 Michael was born in Baltimore, Maryland to the late Herbert Perry and Joan Smith on August 8, 1960. Positive and upbeat, Michael was a humble spirit and never once complained. He was also very intelligent. Even the doctors were amazed at how he could answer all of their questions while being so sick. Michael was preceded in death by his sister, Tina, his brother, Mark, and his father, Herbert. He will be deeply missed by his mother, two sisters, a brother-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, and nieces and nephews. He loved family, he loved James Brown, and most of all, he loved to dance. Those long legs could move! That's why he never liked to stay in one place for too long! Michael's famous words were "Ok, I'm ready to go." It's befitting that we think about his famous and almost prophetic phrase during this time... "I'm ready to go." We know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8).We love you, Michael. Rest In Peace. The Best of Michael "We miss and love you"-Bella'Skye and Hayes "May peace be with you forever. You always navigated with love!" -Chadd "Uncle Mike was the definition of independent and he knew how to defend himself. He was a black belt in karate, and when I was younger, he would show me all types of karate moves. He knew how to do a mean karate kick!" -Bianca "Thank you for showing me that you can be both gentle and strong. We honor you today, tomorrow, and forever!" -Milan "To me, you are PERFECT" -Renee "Uncle Mike was full of happiness!" -Tyler "Uncle Mike, on earth you were my strong soldier, and in heaven you are still a soldier to me. You fought for your health 'til the last hour. My heavenly soldier, I know heaven is a beautiful place because it has you. Forever in my heart, love your niece" -Tasha "Peace can only be achieved by understanding and you exemplified it. Rest In Peace Brother." -Quess "It's so many things I could say about Michael. He was such a peaceful, humble person. He was my Michael Jackson, always teaching me dance and karate moves. I'm going to miss you, Mike." -Ronnie "Uncle Michael, We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and Plenty of days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name, And have all of your pictures in frames. Your memory, we will always trace. And will always keep within. We love you Uncle Michael. Rest easy. Amen" -Jayden "We love you Michael. you were always positive and never complained about anything. Rest In Peace, as God knows best. I will miss you my son!" -Momma Joan "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." Psalms 23 Enjoy paradise, Michael. We are thinking of you and loving you always. You are forever in our hearts. Your memory is forever engrained in our thoughts. We hope you're dancing away up there with James Brown ! -Love, The Fam
