Pierre DeBaun Obituary

Pierre Arlington DeBaun age 76 died on Thursday February 21, 2019 in his beloved Costa Rica. Perry was born November 12, 1942 in Oceanside NY to Walter and Frances and grew up surrounded by his fun loving and extensive family of aunts, uncles, siblings, and cousins. Perry received his degree in both Economics and History from the University of Wisconsin â€"La Crosse. He served as M.P. in the 534th of U.S. Army in Panama from 1967 to 1969. Perry loved Long Island and The City, but he followed his sister Teresa Ann Dennis and her husband David Dennis to Virginia Beach in 1976 and here Perry began his remarkable career in Dental Sales. He was a beloved and caring Uncle to his family and treasured by his extended network of friends and colleagues. Perry will be forever remembered for his sense of adventure, his humor, and Big Fun. A Celebration of Perry’s Life will be scheduled in the upcoming weeks.

My deepest sympathy to Perry's family on his passing. I knew Perry for 26+ years as a dental rep. when I worked as an assistant. Perry was always a welcome visitor. I was always amazed that he never failed to ask me about each of my four grown children, remembering where in the country they lived etc. I count myself luck to have known him.

I will always have very fond memories of Perry. Such a great guy and the best dental rep there was. No matter where I was working, Perry would always pop up and say, Where ya been and what do you know? Great guy. I pray that he will feel the warm trade winds and hear the waves of Costa Rican beaches as he is held in the arms of the Lord for eternity

I was saddened to read about the loss of Perry this morning. I've known Perry for almost 30 years in the Dental business. His bright smile and humor always was welcome and enjoyed when he visited my office. A true gentleman.

My wife and I were saddened by the passing of Perry. I've known him for 30 years first as my dental supply rep and eventually a dear friend. He was a very caring, fun loving person who dearly loved his family. I will miss him.
