Danny Perryman Obituary

Danny Bryan Perryman
February 29, 1948 - October 22, 2011
Saturday morning a beautiful heart stopped beating. Dan Perryman passed away early Saturday morning surrounding by family after a long, valiant battle against pancreatic cancer. Dan grew up in Atwater, CA and graduated from Atwater High. He served in the Army, completing two tours in Vietnam as a Chinook helicopter crew chief and door gunner. After coming home from Vietnam, Dan worked for the U.S. Postal Service, from which he retired. Dan loved to fish and hunt, and was a lifetime member of the North American Fishing Club and the National Rifle Association. He loved being by the water, whether he was fishing or not, and some of the happiest times of his adult life were spent in Antioch at Sportsmen's Yacht Club, to which his brother John and daughter Sarah also belong. He was also a member of the VFW and of course DPOP. Dan is preceded in death by his cousin and best friend Robert Heinmiller and his father Raymond Perryman. Dan is survived by his mother, Eloise Perryman of Atwater, three brothers: John, Rob and Fred Perryman, by two children: Andrew Perryman (Ragina Ahnen) of Merced, Sarah Haynes (Bill Haynes) of Atwater and five grandchildren. Dan was a strong, proud man who will be sorely missed by all of his remaining family and friends. A Graveside Service with Military Honors will be Monday, October 31, 2011 at 1:30 PM at the San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery, 32053 McCabe Rd, Santa, Nella, CA. There will be a gathering for remembrance at Dan's house after the internment. In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Cancer Society in his name are appreciated.
