My Tribute: John M. Perkins Jr.
April 16, 1981 – May 5, 2011
Age 30

Our son, John M. Perkins Jr., lost his life to a heroin overdose on 5-5-11. John had turned 30 years old two weeks before on 4-16-11. He was our only son, our first child. He grew up as a typical boy. Always pushing the envelope on either his bicycle, dirt bike, or snow board. He lit up a room and made friends with everyone. He felt a loyalty to old friends, and he made us cry but he also made us laugh. We loved him dearly and will miss him every second of the rest of our lives. Dad, Mom and Sis
