Mark Perry Obituary

Mark Alan Perry, 65, passed away on June 14, 2025, in Chapman, Kansas, surrounded by the people who loved him most. He was born on September 29, 1959, in Hutchinson, Kansas, to Billy "Gene" and Bernice Frances (Ehly) Perry.
Mark grew up in Junction City and graduated from Junction City High School in 1977. He began dating Pamela Sue Chartier in January of 1983, and the two were married later that year on November 19. They built a life together and raised two daughters, Erin and Lauren.
Mark worked for over 30 years at The Alida Pearl Coop in Chapman, most recently as the bookkeeper, before retiring in 2015.
In his younger days, he enjoyed racing cars, hunting, and riding his motorcycle. As the years went by, he picked up new hobbies-photography, fishing, and taking day trips with Pam. He loved being outdoors, took pride in his yard, was always ready to fire up the grill, and cherished time spent with his grandson.
Mark was the kind of guy who made people feel at ease. He was a devoted husband, proud dad, loving brother, and a loyal friend. He will be remembered for his quick wit, sense of humor, warm heart, and the kindness he extended to everyone around him.
He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents. He is survived by his wife of nearly 42 years, Pam; daughters Erin Perry (Corey Gill) and Lauren Perry; his sister Lynnette "Lynda" Jett (James Larson); and his grandson, Connor Gill.
Mark faced his final year with courage and strength, battling Parkinson's Disease and Dementia.
At this time, no memorial service has been scheduled, but may be planned in the future. In the meantime, if you'd like to honor Mark's memory, donations can be made to the Dementia Society of America through Londeen-Overlease Funeral Home, P.O. Box 411, Chapman, Kansas 67431.
