Vincent Perry Obituary

Our loving son, brother, uncle and friend to ALL!
Vince passed away in Santa Cruz, CA on May 6, 2015. Vince was born on May 6, 1976. Born to mother Trudi Rose (Salt lake City, UT) and his father Mike Perry (Port St. Lucie, FL). He was the youngest of three sons. Vince grew up in Sandy, UT and attended Valley High School. He knew at a very young age after hearing stories about a legendary rock band that toured the country with legions of followers known as "Dead Heads" that his life would forever be changed. Vince hit the road in 1992 and toured the country extensively meeting friends from all over. He literally had hundreds of friends everywhere who loved and adored him.
Vince lived in many states throughout his life but always considered Colorado to be his home. This is where he would meet the loves of his life Melissa Perry and create a family with their two dogs Gaia and Eros.
What a Long Strange Trip it's been...Keep Truckin' Vinny!
The family will be holding a small private ceremony in Salt Lake City.

Aw, Vince. Such a charming child who became a charming young man. I enjoyed every moment spent with Vince, and the world is a poorer place without him. May he rock in peace!

I met Vince working at a pizza place around 1990 In Grand Rapids, MI. He was one of the best friends I have ever had. When he passed he took a piece of me with him. The world lost an amazing soul when he left us. My condolences to his family, His extended family from boulder, Grateful Dead and everywhere else I am forgetting. I love ya brother, I will always remember the time we had when you were here. They were some of the best times of my life. We will meet again my friend.
