Perry Eugene Shropshire's Obituary
Perry Shropshire, age 86, peacefully passed away Friday, November 6th, surrounded by his family.
Perry is survived by his devoted wife of 46 years Linda Shropshire, his daughter Tricia Hunt (Dade), son Skip Shropshire (Laurie) and brother Harvey (Kim). He also leaves, what he was most proud of, his grandchildren: Elizabeth Hunt Pugh (Hunter), Harrison Hunt (Stewart), Hayden Hunt, Kristin Deddlebach (David), Mary Kate Shropshire, Perry Reed Shropshire (Shannon), Jackson Shropshire and 12 great-grandchildren.
Perry worked hard in sales for over 50 years but was happiest supporting his children and grandchildren in all they did. He loved his Memphis Tigers, watching and talking sports with his brother and the Dallas Cowboys. We will miss his daily phone calls, talks about politics, and most of all having him on the sidelines cheering us on decked in our team colors. Many thanks to our friends, Perry’s caretakers and family for all your love and support.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John 14:1-3
