PAUL TIMOTHY PERRINGTON
June 21, 1963 – May 29, 2025
Paul Timothy Perrington, age 61, passed away unexpectedly in his home on Thursday May 29, 2025. Paul was born to Leonard and Nadine (Heinzer) Perrington June 21, 1963. Paul grew up in Deer River, Minnesota. He attended Deer River High School. He joined the Marines in 1983, where he worked as a heavy equipment mechanic.
Paul loved his family dearly. He especially loved all the children in our family – kids were his favorite people.
Paul had a sense of humor and was always telling a joke.
Paul was generous to a fault. Even when he had little – he would share because he always felt others needed it more. That was Paul – putting others first.
Paul walked closely with God. His faith was steady and deep.
Paul is preceded in death by both his parents Leonard and Nadine and three brothers Jesse, Steve, and Louie.
Paul is survived by his daughters, Miranda Perrington and Catrina (Troy) Baker; six grandchildren – Alaiysha, Makiah, Leland, Daniel, Brayden, and Callie; two sisters – Jackie (Jim) Hanson, Patty (Eric) Henry; six brothers – Bill (Mel), Joe (Dian), Rick (Jayne), Tom (Sheila), Dan (Mary), Gary (Em) and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at Perrington Boot Hill Cemetery on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 2pm at the family farm in Deer River, Minnesota with military honors.
