Philip Perrin Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born December 4, 1940, in Corryton, Tennessee, Philip was the son of Fern and Bruce Perrin. He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, and friend whose quiet strength, deep faith, and generous spirit touched countless lives.
Phil spent his life in service to others, dedicating himself to mission work both at home and around the world. His compassion and commitment took him to communities in Africa, China, Russia, and throughout the United States, where he shared hope, kindness, and a sense of musical oneness.
He is survived by his sister, Kay Bond; his daughters, Esther Perrin-Bryson and Lydia Scruggs; and his grandchildren, Allison Sisk, Tyler Scruggs, Jennifer Dul, and Haley Scruggs. He was preceded in death by his wife, Wilda Perrin.
A family conducted memorial service will be held on Tuesday, May 20, at Cliffside Baptist Church, 220 Old Main St., Cliffside, NC. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m., followed by the service at 2:00 p.m. with Reverend Mike Elgin officiating. Eggers Funeral Home of Cliffside, NC is serving the family.

It is with deep sorrow when I heard of Dr
Perrins death, but also with a firm conviction of joy for I knew of his walk and faith in our Savior´s gift of eternity. He served with us at West End, Gaffney, SC as our music minister. I can never forget him singing "Moses" and acting out the call of Moses to return to Egypt and save his people. He attempted Everest while serving here and came so close to the top, but missed it by a few thousand feet. Now he has climbed another mountain, one those if faith will join him in-the mountain of victory to our Savior´s abode. Well done Phil, join with Wilda and loved ones forever! Blessings, Gene Daggerhart
