Oct. 20, 1948 — June 29, 2017

Anthony Lee “Tony” Perry, went to be with Jesus on June 29, 2017, while his devoted wife, Margaret Sharon, held his hand at their residence in Winter Haven, Florida.
He was born in Ironton on Oct. 20, 1948, to William Perry, Jr. and Wanda Ruth Graham. He graduated from South Point High School in 1966.

He was ordained as an independent Christian clergy by the World Christianship Ministries in 2008. In 1990, the United Methodist Men awarded the distinction of a Life Membership to Tony. In appreciation of his continuous support and devotion to prayer, youth and mission efforts of United Methodist Men, the United Methodist Men Foundation recognized Tony as a Fellow of the Society of John Wesley in 2007. This is the highest recognition that a United Methodist Men’s Fellowship can bestow in a member.
