Henry Perry Jr.

Henry Perry, Jr. was born March 19, 1940, in Lonoke, Arkansas to the late Henry William Perry Sr. and Clorine (Hancock) Perry. Henry confessed his heart and soul to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He attended an All-Black Segregated School in Lonoke, Arkansas, Carver Elementary, Middle and High School. Henry graduated with the Class of 1960. He played basketball and baseball in school. He was given the opportunity to play in the All-Black Negro League. What an accomplishment to reflect back on over the years. 

Henry was a low-key kind of man, soft spoken and known for his sarcasm. He met the love of his life Marilyn Royce (Baker) Perry, and they married on October 12, 1964. To this union three wonderful children were born, Denita (Perry) Bryant, Elgin Perry and Myron Perry. 

Henry transitioned his earthly soul on October 18, 2024.
