Jeffrey E. Perrin, born on February 25, 1959, in Elwood, Indiana, left this world on October 18, 2024, at his home, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. He is remembered deeply by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Jeff was a dedicated family man who cherished every moment he was able to spend with his grandchildren Ricky Santana III, Kylan Holmquest, Caiden Santana, Carter Holmquest, Makynlee Santana, Daisy Holmquest, Kamryn Perrin, Josh Holmquest, Nolan Perrin, Delilah Holmquest, Marshall Perrin, and Avrum Holmquest. His artistic nature and practical skills as a handyman not only made him an invaluable resource in the family but also allowed him to pass on these talents to his children and grandchildren, inspiring them in countless ways.

A passionate sports enthusiast, Jeff was particularly fond of the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and Chicago Bulls, with a special admiration for Michael Jordan. He found joy in playing basketball, softball, volleyball, bowling, and took up golf later in life, discovering a knack for the sport that surprised even him. He especially loved rock music, such as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and The Eagles. At home, he enjoyed engaging his mind with word games and crossword puzzles, reflecting his inquisitive spirit and love for challenges.

Surviving Jeff are his parents, Lecil (Mary) Perrin and Lylith Perrin; his daughter, Nicole (Ricky) Santana; his sons, Kevin (Nicole) Holmquest and Ryan Perrin; his sister, Kelly (Greg) Dwyer; former wife and caregiver, Kim Perrin; and sister-in-law, Tammy (John) Spears; as well as sister-in-law, Angela Roberts. He will be missed by his many grandchildren and great-nephew, Mason Bunten, along with his beloved nieces Morgan (Brad) Bunten and Ashlynn Roberts and nephew Jordan Roberts.

He joins in eternal rest his cherished sons, Joshua Holmquest and Jeremy Perrin, and his brother, Michael Perrin, whose memories will forever remain alive in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

Jeff's graveside service will take place on October 22, 2024, at Pine Lake Cemetery in La Porte, Indiana, commencing at 2:00 PM with Pastor Bob Vale officiating. As we gather to celebrate Jeff's life, let us remember him not only for his talents and hobbies but for the humor, warmth and love he brought to every interaction. His legacy will continue to live on in the lives of his family and friends, who are profoundly grateful for the time they shared with him.
