Stephen George Perry

Miss you so, Steve, on the 1st anniversary of your passing...

Dear Uncle Stephen, Missing you a little extra today. Can´t believe it has been a year without you. We miss you so much! Love, Erica, Zack, Emerson and Nathan

Dear Uncle Stephen, we can´t believe it´s already been a year without you. We miss you so much. We welcomed our first baby, Maeve, in February and she already has her first Computer Programing book on the shelf. I thought that would make you proud :). Thinking of you, love and miss you. Love Paige, Gino, & Maeve ( & Penny woof!)

One year after learning of his passing, I still miss Steve.
We can shed tears that he is gone, but I´d rather smile because he lived and I remember the
fabulous experiences that we shared.
During this painful year, I've closed my eyes and prayed that Steve would come back,
but then I stopped to wonder how he's doing in Eternity. We miss you down here!!

When looking in the sky or on a flight, I sometimes look for his laughter in a cloud.
If there is another world, Steve lives in bliss. And if there is none, he made the best of
life on Earth. I think back on Steve´s fondness of skiing, his adventures on the slopes, and envision him as a turning leaf, being born again in the spring and living forever in our hearts.

I'll never say goodbye and will look to the heavens seeing Steve's spirit in the sun, wind, rain, and air with every breath taken by all who knew him. I'll cherish the fond friendship we had for 20 years. I'll still forge forward to work on Steve´s project: the unaccomplished tasks pertaining to GDF11, Klotho, and other peptide research. Many people in the RAADfest community reminisce about his participation for 10 years with the Quest of Life Longevity. His goal was to revitalize youth in the people he helped, and it is important to continue Steve´s dream.

Friends will always remember this honest man, and smile in his memory.

Steve, I'll always groove to the music that you loved, and I'll continue missing you for years to come.

Yours in Friendship,
Scott Holland

My dearest friend Steve, I cannot believe it has already been 1 year without you. I miss you so very much. Please God, take into account how much we loved him and he loved us and take good care of him.

Condolences to Sherry, Steve´s partner, Lynne, Carolyn and family for your loss.

Steve was kind, clever, witty and fun-loving. I was fortunate to have had a long-distance friendship with him in the late eighties and early nineties. The times spent with Steve are unforgettable.

To those who knew and loved Steve, consider him to have been a wonderful gift on loan from God that´s been taken back.

Happy Birthday my dearest Steve. We all miss you. There´s so much of your wonderful energy in our hearts.

Happy birthday my dear friend Steve, we are praying for you and we so much miss you.

What a shock!
Happy (heavenly) Birthday Perry!

Happy birthday in heaven, Steve! At last, you've achieved your dream of living for eternity...

My deepest condolences on the loss of Steve. I am just now learning of Steve's demise. Shocked & very saddened by it, I do offer comment that Steve most thankfully lived each day fully and was one always striving to live forever... and in our minds & hearts he always will. R.I.P. Steve... you've been a great friend & will be missed.

I came upon this accidentally, and I'm so sorry for your loss, Lynne and Carolyn. I mostly remember Steve from backyard kickball games, many, many years ago! It is clear he did extraordinary things in his post-kickball years.

I am in Shock as I just found out about this. Farewell my friend. You wanted to stay young and healthy, in way you made it. We will definitely meet somewhere else someday. Will never forget you.

A generous, visionary teacher in an extremely important curriculum.

thank you steve for always being your authentic self, never mincing words or beliefs. When I was trying to help my girl friend who we were going to lose to cancer, you met and spoke to her and her boyfriend about a cutting edge alternative treatment as you were willing to take chances and you did.
I was Concerned about your own health and wellness after the loss of your father who you bought a bench for in Central Park and tell me how it gave you solace to go there and think of happy thoughts. Clearly a doer and your Spirit Lives On! rest in peace, Cindy

I've known Steve a long time and still feel saddened, shocked and a real sense of loss at his passing. As a number of folks here have said, he lived life on his terms, unafraid to challenge norms, and definitely lived a life pursuing his passions. He had a great way of making me (and those around him) laugh; and even the most mundane situations we found ourselves in became funny through his clever one-off observations. He was a true friend and I'll miss him.

My first email from Steve:
"I am patient zero for exogenous GDF11 supplementation. Note that I am a software developer, not a molecular biologist nor an MD. Needless to say, I have always been a believer in the programmatic theory of aging."

I met Steve at our Church of Perpetual Life, when he came to speak about GDF11. We will all miss him.
FYI, here is a link to his talk https://www.youtube.com/live/Oe9mDFRJFuk?t=2878s

I admire his courage and enterprise in his pioneering GDF-11 and Klotho treatments. So sorry to hear about his untimely passing. My condolances to the family.

Steve was my great friend. We helped each other a lot.

He was a tremendous innovator and had a really good heart.

Writing this hurts.

I met Steve about 25 years ago when he started dating my friend Sherry. To be honest he and I were so different that I never could have imagined we would have been friends. But that's the thing about Steve he never cared about those type of things. He never judged people based on their politics or how they dressed. He looked beyond that. I first really figured this out on my 30th birthday when he gave me an awesome mixed CD that he curated himself. I was really surprised by the gift....that he would spend the time to make this and he barely knew me. That's when I let my guard down. I'm really so glad I did, because from then on I was able to enjoy Steve and his vivacious personality. Although I didn't see Steve often, it was always memorable and always fun, I will miss him. it is truly a great loss, much too early.

RIP Friend

My deepest condolences to all of you. Steve touched the lives of so many people. He was one of the smartest people I've ever known and we had so many adventures together. Our birthdays were a few weeks apart and we would always do something fun or go on a trip together to celebrate. I have fond memories or the ski trips we took together. Even after I left New York we remained in contact a few times a year. When he came to Las Vegas for a conference a few years ago, we caught up, and it was like no time had passed at all. He will be missed, but remains in our hearts forever.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a bright light from our Universe.

Steve was so articulate and authentic in his way of thinking and expression.

Fun loving adventurous known by SO many people from Manhattan to the Hamptons.

I'll always remember his BMW. He loved that car.

A strong athlete with a balanced life of sports he was truly a renaissance man!

The heavens will shine ever brighter with Steve up above but I'll miss him and his high-octane personality down here - below.

I love you Brother. Rock on!

So sorry to learn about Steve´s passing. He was one of a kind! He loved technology, cats, traveling and NYC high-end parties. I remember good times skiing with him in Vermont with the Swiss ski club of NY and also Dave´s social network group. May he be in a better place now with his cat Brinks and all the other ones that passed away that he cherished.

My condolences to Steve´s family. Steve´s strong friendship, fun times & sharing great memories @ many charity benefits, over the last 25+ years, will always be fondly remembered. The devastating news of Steve´s passing is surreal. So sad

For the man I thought would live forever this is a shock! I have known Steve for almost 20 years. He has been unbelievably supportive with the work I do. He had such a dry wit and an amazing way of looking at things. He will be missed by the many people he entertained at the bar over the years!

I still can't believe this actually happened, especially to Steve. I'm still in the denial stage trying to digest this and writing this on legacy.com feels quite surreal. I was a good friend of Steve - Steve was a real genuine friend and a good soul. He will be greatly missed by all of us especially when joining Steve on all his vacation adventures, parties at his penthouse apartment and the countless social events. Steve lived life to the absolute fullest, embracing every moment. He spent his last days in a place that he loved to go to - Greece. Rest in peace my good friend - I know you're in a better place now.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my friend Steve.

We first met in 2017, brought together by a shared passion for extending healthspan. It was Steve who introduced me to the fascinating world of exogenous peptides. He was clearly an intelligent and data-driven person, a true scientist at heart. He was always available and quick to respond to emails or calls, and I will greatly miss our insightful discussions about peptides and the positive impacts we were helping others achieve.

I still find it hard to believe he is gone. Steve was a trustworthy and generous person, always ready to lend a helping hand. Every time I traveled to New York for work, I made sure to meet him before returning to Europe. We always reserved a table at an Italian restaurant for lunch, where we would catch up on new developments in our work and in life.

Thank you, Steve, for introducing me to exogenous peptides. I will continue to study and hope to reach the goals we shared. I am praying for you. Rest in peace, my friend.

Steve lived life on his own terms. He taught me that I didn't need to accept anything as it was. I'll miss his lust for life and free spirit.

We are so sorry to hear of Steve´s sudden passing. I met Steve through my friendship with Sherry and knew we were of the same ilk when the three of us went on a long run and shuffled through it, stopping for bagels and frequent long breaks. That´s my kind of runner! My husband and I loved having them visit recently and were looking forward to the next one. Still in shock and disbelief, our hearts are broken for Sherry and Steve´s family. Our most heartfelt condolences.

Steve I met you in Greece. We had so many adventures with the sailing boats a lot of summer's.
I could not believe that you start a new trip but without us...
I am praying for you... Rest in peace...

2 weeks since BFFs passing Steve Perry so many great memories so hard to even think about. Haven't been able to post Missing the most indestructible person I've ever met . Brilliant funny tough caring adventurous I could write a book on our episodes running Hampton houses parties events traveling the Greek Islands & Russia , Mardi gras & Whitewater camping trip with Sherry and Steve .Steve Perry and Glen Goldberg on People's Court when I got sued for our Hampton house . The People's Court after party at Steve Perrys pad . When I would play the acoustic guitar , Our go to song The Sloop John B he would sing with that baritone . 2 years ago tail end of covid took me out to dinner at the Marley we up at the corner we sat outside it was kind of depressing he called me up to take me out of my birthday and it was just a chill hang and fun , when I started playing cello a few years ago I brought the viola and the harmonica over he had me playing theme from A Summer place on viola and harmonica at the same time I'm still doing that and every time I do I think of Steve always encouraging the music .
went to sleep every night for the last 2 weeks praying and talking to him and wake up thinking about him . miss you Steve Perry we came on the Sloop John B

I met Steve (Stephen) at our shared beach house in Quogue or West Hampton in the Summer of 89! He was spirited from the start with all attention looking towards adventure. We have stayed in touch over the last 34 yrs, (thanks to John deVries) and I am always delighted to see him, to share story´s adventures and reminisce on days of `Yore. Steve always had a smile on his face (yes many a times mischievous) but a happy guy who wanted to share joy. I am blessed to be able to call Steve my friend. A life truly cut off way too quickly. I will never forget the good times we shared. I will miss you dearly Steve Perry.

My dearest Steve,
I will miss you terribly, my friend. You were a ray of light. A true friend and the kindest human being.
I always admired and respected you for your sharp intellect, your authenticity and the way you made your own rules but was fair to everyone. Your love for your family and friends, your devotion to your vision, your energy was all unmatched. I haven't thanked you enough in this lifetime for giving me the eyes to see my own life from another perspective. You were and always will be the most inspirational man I have known.
This summer you on boarded another sailing boat...I pray that it gets you to a safe harbor where there's lots of music, lots of cats and your soul rests peacefully.

Steve Perry may not have lived forever but he sure lived a full life!

Steve loved life so much that he wanted to live forever. In fact, he made life extension his life´s pursuit. He was not selfish in this desire. In fact, if you wanted to live forever, he was more than willing to help you pursue this lofty goal together with you.

I was fortunate to travel with him to many countries and beautiful places and he always lived each day to the fullest.

I will greatly miss his contagious zest for life which he would often proclaim with a toast whenever we had arrived at a unique or beautiful destination, "We be Living!"

Let us all continue to live our best lives like Steve did!

Steve, you will sail with us forever

I am very glad I got to meet Steve with his energetic personality, positive attitude, and love of cats! He was a lot of fun to discuss with, regardless of whether we agreed or not on the topic. That is a rare trait, nowadays, and a little bit rarer now. Kalo Paradeiso, Steve!

Steve,
. . .

My dearest friend Steve, I am going to miss you so terribly. The Greek islands, where we spent so many summers together, will never be the same without you. For so many years, your energy and positive spirit always got me off my lazy butt to organize our sailing trips. Even though you didn´t believe in God, we had countless funny arguments about it, and I know you lived a life full of the kindness and generosity that truly matters. You were a gift to your family, your friends, and everyone who knew you. As a Christian, I trust that God, in His infinite mercy, will find a place for you near Him. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

Steve was one of my closest friends in college. There was no one like him. I´ve never met anyone who lived so fully, so optimistically, so unafraid. And so honestly - we could talk about absolutely anything. After college I saw him work tirelessly to start his first business, never hesitating or losing confidence whatever the obstacles. This is what he wanted for everyone - whenever we saw each other Steve encouraged me to take chances, pursue my dreams, create something new. I have no doubt that not one single second of Steve´s too-short life was wasted or taken for granted. I can´t believe I´ll never have a chance, in this world at least, to catch up with him again.

Our world just lost a good man and a great friend . We have lost a great mind . I met Steve when I started working at 808 broadway , over time we became friends . He always wanted to help me when things got out of hand . I will never forget when He personally helped to fix the cooling tower . I will always be grateful to his sincere friendship. He was lovely, respectful . He is gone from us but one thing we are sure of , there is a big room for him in heaven . Rest in peace Steven we will always miss your beautiful smile.

Love you always Stephen Perry!!
You ( Glenn & Brian too) made my transition from CT - Boston to manhattan/ Hamptons the Best!!

Always an interesting conversation with him. He loved life to the fullest. Sorry to hear this news.

Dear Family and Friends of Steve Perry:

He's been known as Steve "Endogenous" Perry, the Godfather of GDF11 & Klotho therapies. Steve has always had a futuristic intuition with software creativity and a long track record of brilliance.

As a man of science, Steve would crush you in a computer software discussion or scientific debate. He was a staunch capitalist, and could often decipher what you were speaking about, turning it into written code to prove a point.
As a friend, I loved this man and speaking "From the Heart", I've been praying & thinking these weeks, "living for him." I'm rather wounded with him not being here as we had a strong bond, and focused on our significant friendship, "building people up".

Steve was committed to bringing people together, and he had a mission to unify our togetherness with his research and business savvy. I'm asking for our togetherness as we pray for joy in eternity for Steve.

Let's have a conversation of love, and eternal restoration for Steve. I'm asking God in heaven to give Steve freedom and happiness. Let's fight to draw closer to Steve. I've lost a piece of happiness in my life with his absence, but I'll live life thinking about his generosity and forgiving tenderness forever.

Steve, be a shining light and build greatness in Heaven !!!

Scott Holland

I´m still in shock...what a wonderful authentic human being. A friend who I could always count on to discuss literally anything.

Steve was a brilliant entrepreneur, career mentor, and friend. He was on a motivating journey to help others with his research. He was so full of life, enjoying his travels, music, and giving 100% to everything. I'll never forget his enthusiasm for trying anything - yes, even singing karaoke at a dive bar in NYC. He will be deeply missed. Sending condolences to all who loved him and care about him.

Steve was incredibly engaging. A decade in the Hamptons summer homes, always a blast. He had energy and kindness that was quite contagious. Also here in Manhattan wonderful parties at his place.simply a great person. He will truly be missed

Sherry and Steve had so many amazing camping and biking trips around the world together. Our whole family has years of great memories on cruises and events and restaurants with him and Sherry. Steve was fun, smart and interesting. We send our deepest condelences to Sherry and the Perry family.
