Jeffery Glenn “Jeff” Perry, 69, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, March 29, 2026, reunited with the loved ones he had missed for so long. While our hearts feel the loss deeply, we take comfort in knowing he is now at peace in the presence of our Lord.
Born and raised in Salem, New Jersey, Jeff made his home in Putnam County for the past 38 years after moving from Gainesville, Florida. He faithfully served his country in the United States Marine Corps and dedicated 44 years of hard work as a lineman, providing for his family with strength and integrity.
Jeff loved the Lord and lived out his faith in the way he cared for others. He also held strong convictions and took pride in the things he believed in. In his free time, he found joy in hunting, fishing, watching NASCAR—especially cheering on Kyle Busch—and rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles (and, as many knew, anyone playing against the Dallas Cowboys).
More than anything, Jeff cherished his family. His greatest joy in retirement was spending time with his family, especially his 6 grandchildren, in what he lovingly referred to as “Papa’s Day Care.” Those moments will remain a treasured legacy of his love, laughter, and devotion.
Jeff will be deeply missed, but we rejoice in the promise that we will see him again.
He was preceded in death by his dad and step-mom, Harold “Hap” and Ann Perry; his mother Beverly Kuhns, a son, Jeffery Glenn Perry, Jr., a brother, Frank Perry, Sr., a sister, Darla Zimmerman, and father-in-law, Harold Bohanan.
Jeff is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 38 years, Jeanette R. Perry of Palatka, his children, Kaala Griffis (Greg) of Palatka, Jordan Perry (Whitney) of Satsuma and Logan Perry (Jeffery Campbell) of Satsuma, sister, Mary Bishop (John) of West Chester, PA, a brother, Melvin Smith (Leah) of Pennsville, NJ, and sisters, Suzanne Demorest (Brian) of Woodstown, NJ and Mim Simon (Richard) of Palm Beach, 6 grandchildren, Brantley Griffis, Jacen Griffis, Keaton Griffis, Jeffery Campbell, Magnolia Campbell and Dakota Levi Perry and his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Bohanan. Jeff is also lovingly remembered by his nieces and nephews—David Perry (Heather), Janice Raiveley (Ronnie), Frank Perry, Jr. (Emily), Melissa Acevedo (Miguel), Adam Zimmerman, and Jared Zimmerman (Chantel)—who cherished him as a second father. He held a special place in their hearts, offering love, guidance, and steady support throughout their lives. He is further survived by many more nieces and nephews, as well as great-nieces and great-nephews who he loved very much.
A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held on April 6, 2026 at 5:30pm at the Church of The Heights in Palatka with Jeff’s son-in-law, Greg Griffis officiating.
