John Christopher Perchalla

John Christopher Perchalla 07/22/1966 - 10/23/2015 ... .. On the 23rd of October, John Perchalla died after a brief illness. We lost a son, a brother, an uncle, a nephew, a cousin, and a father. He meant something different to each of us. But to all of us, he was one thing. Family. John was all about family. He was at his happiest when we all got together, especially for the Holidays. John would liven up a room with just his presence. If he wasn't arguing with you, he was giggling and reminiscing about our crazy childhood. His laugh was contagious. Knowing this, we have decided to postpone a memorial until Saturday, February 6th 2016. This will allow family members, that have travel hardships, the ability to attend. We are sure that this is what John would want. His family & friends all together at the same time. More details will follow as they are finalized. In lieu of flowers, We ask that donations be made in John's name to: NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness John is survived by his daughter, Alyssa Perchalla, Michael Easton (Step-Son) Mother; Mary Ann (Maiden:Arnold)Perchalla & Joe Paddock (step father) Father; John George Perchalla Brothers; Steven Perchalla, Randy & (SIL) Becky Perchalla & Randy Paddock (step brother) Sisters; Sherry & (BIL) Glen Campbell, Lori & (BIL) Kevin Bartels, Vicki Zummer, Sandy & (BIL)Chris Garcia.
