William Henry Perry, age 75, of Three Rivers, Michigan, passed away peacefully at his home on July 16, 2025.
Born on December 30, 1949, in Hesperia, Michigan, William was the son of Alfred E. and Wilma Perry. He spent his early years in Hesperia before settling in Three Rivers in 1972, where he made his home and raised his family.
William worked for over 30 years as a dedicated crane operator at Sturgis Iron and Metal. Known for his strong work ethic and quiet wisdom, he was the kind of man who could fix anything. A gifted mechanic and skilled carpenter, William had a unique way with wood-there was nothing he couldn't build or repair.
He loved the simple joys of life: spending time fishing, tinkering in the garage, or building with his hands. But more than anything, William loved his family. His pride and joy were his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and his life was made rich by the time he spent with them.
He is survived by his children, William Warner of Three Rivers, MI, and Eva Warner of Portage, MI; grandchildren, Shauna Lynn (Trent) Kindig and William Wayne Warner, both of Three Rivers, MI; great-grandchildren, DJ Kindig and Dakota Kindig, both of Three Rivers, MI; and several nieces and nephews.
William was preceded in death by his longtime significant other, Lynn Sherry Warner; his parents, Alfred and Wilma Perry; and his sister, Lois Perry.
In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place. There are no services scheduled at this time. Ray Funeral Services, 305 Rock River Ave., Three Rivers, MI 49093, 269-278-1515, has been entrusted with his care.
