PERRY
Douglas R.
Douglas R. Perry, age 57, passed away peacefully at the Hospice of Northwest Ohio on February 2, 2016. He was born in Toledo, Ohio to Robert and Doretta Perry. Early in life, Douglas was very active in baseball and was an outstanding pitcher. On February 19, 1974, at the age of fifteen, Douglas was severely injured in a gymnastics accident at Whitmer High School, which left him as a partial quadriplegic. Despite this obstacle, Douglas chose to persevere and enjoy life. He graduated from Whitmer High School and later attended the University of Toledo's Community Technical School.
In 1982 he received his Associate Degree and later received a Certificate in Computer Programming from Kent State University. From 1986 to 1992, Douglas worked at Lutheran Social Services as a computer programmer. He enjoyed NASCAR and other races; watching football (both college and professional), his favorite team being Ohio State; and had an extensive DVD collection in addition to his love for listening to music. He also enjoyed his time with his family, experimenting in the kitchen with recipes he learned from watching the Food Network.
He is survived by his parents; sisters, Cynthia (Roger) Coe, Tracy (David) Screptock, and Andrea (Scott) DeCavitch; four nephews, two nieces, one great-nephew, and two great-nieces.
A special thank you to Antwan, Chereese, Duane, Bill, the staff of Hospice of Northwest of Ohio, St. Luke's Hospital and Wound Care Center, ProMedica Hospitals and Wound Care Center, Advanced Specialty Hospital, and Heartland of Perrysburg for their loving care given to Douglas.

I enjoyed our many conversations over the years. You touched my heart in so many ways. You never ceased to amaze me. You drove, you drew me art, you made me laugh. Your positive attitude and sunny disposition inspired me. The world was a better place with you in it.

It was with shock and sadness that we read about Doug's passing last evening. My elderly father in law, Ken, shared a room with Doug when they were both at Heartland in Perrysburg last August for about 5 weeks. Doug meant so much to us. Since Ken was "very confused", each day Doug would give us an update as to what went on with Ken. He was such a great man and we so enjoyed our visits. We talked about a variety of things, but loved talking about food and restaurants. We will always remember him and feel so bad that we didn't read about his passing until later last night and we not able to come and tell you in person what Doug meant to us. Please know that I am praying for you during this time and will never forget Doug.
