Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 27, 2024.
Edward Bryan Perkins, Jr., 57, of Dayton, Ohio, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on December 25th, 2024 at 3:14 a.m. His passing has left a profound void in the lives of his friends and family.

Born and raised in Dayton, Bryan pursued an associate degree in computer science and built a long career as an electrician, supported by a strong foundation in electrical apprenticeships. He was known for his love of working on cars and computers, telling jokes, reading, watching films, and listening to music - activities that brought him joy and reflected his curious and creative spirit.

Edward is lovingly remembered by his children: Sarah Beth Lutz (Jamie), Brianna Perkins, and Bryan James Glen Perkins (Paige); his siblings: Rick Johnson, Juanita Young (and her late husband, Kenny), Brenda Gamble (Ora), Dottie Asher (Ron), Jimmy Perkins (Tina), Janice Hergenrather (Dave), Richard Perkins (Jamie), Penny Seifert (Matt), Tim Perkins, and Kenny Perkins; his grandchildren: Bryson Aldridge, Mason Lutz, Onyx Lutz, and Daisy Perkins; and many beloved cousins, nieces, and nephews. Bryan was predeceased by his parents, Edward Bryan Perkins, Sr. and Thelma Louise Huffman; his siblings: Joyce Dawson, Charles Perkins, Cecile (Tom) Jones, Billy Perkins, and Bobby Perkins.

A celebration of Bryan's life will be held on January 4th, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. at The Body Dayton, 4445 Wilmington Pike, Dayton, Ohio, 45440. Following the service, loved ones are invited to continue the celebration at Marion's Pizzeria. The service is open to all who wish to honor Bryan's memory.

Bryan will be deeply missed by those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to all who cherished him.
