Anthony James Perrin Jr. ("Tony"), born on April 12, 1976, passed away on December 24, 2024, in Tucson, Arizona, at his parents' home, surrounded by his loving family.

Tony is survived by his devoted parents, Anthony Sr. and Cherryl Perrin, his sister Christine and her husband Jack, his nephews Robby and Daemon, his grandparents, as well as numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends who cherished him deeply.

Tony had a profound love for animals, especially his two beloved Akitas, Siyah and Orion. His passion for the breed extended to his role as an administrator for the United States of Akita group, where he was a source of support and camaraderie for fellow members. Known for his kindness and humor, Tony often brought joy to others by singing "You Know It's Your Birthday" to celebrate special occasions within the group. His warm personality and compassionate nature left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

Tony will be remembered for his gentle spirit, quick wit, and unwavering dedication to those he cared about. May his memory bring comfort to all whose lives he touched.
