Perry Eugene Bledsoe

In loving memory of Perry Bledsoe, a man whose love for Jesus and infectious joy touched every life he encountered, passed away, peacefully on July 5, 2025, at the age of 70.

To know Perry was to know laughter. He had a gift for lighting up a room, not just with his ever-present smile, or twinkling eyes, but with a perfectly timed practical joke, a clever one-liner, or a story told just right. He believed deeply that joy was a reflection of God’s love, and he lived that truth, every single day. Whether it was pulling a harmless prank, or lifting someone’s spirits with a word of encouragement, he made it his mission to leave people better than he found them.

Above all, Perry loved Jesus. His faith wasn’t just something he believed, it was something he lived with every act of kindness, every joke he shared, every burden lifted for someone else. He was a man of quiet strength, deep conviction, and a heart that beat with compassion and grace.

He was preceded in death by his father Rex Bledsoe; his in-laws, Dick, and Ruth Tiernan, and a nephew Chad Bledsoe.

Perry is survived by his wife, Peggy Bledsoe; his son Josh Bledsoe and his daughter-in-love Vanessa; his mother, Glenda Bledsoe; his brothers and their wives, Steve Bledsoe and wife Holly, Larry Bledsoe, and wife, Lisa, and Tom Bledsoe; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Kathy Marlett, and husband, Walt; brother-in-law, Terry Tierman, many nieces and nephews, and countless friends who became family through the years. His legacy is one of joy, love, and unwavering faith.
