Thomas Perry Obituary

Thomas Waters Perry III, 73, of Ocean Ridge, FL, passed away peacefully on September 15, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. Born May 14, 1952, in Washington, DC, Tom was raised in Chevy Chase and attended Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. A lifelong lover of the outdoors, he enjoyed surfing, skiing, and sports, and was known for his magnetic personality and love of music.
He led his family's business, TW Perry, Inc., before moving to Florida and working in commercial real estate. In his later years, Tom found deep peace through his faith.
Tom's greatest joy was his family. He is survived by his son, Thomas W. Perry IV (Laura), and three grandchildren, Winnifred, William, and Thomas V.
