David H. Perrine

David H. Perrine passed away in his sleep from an apparent heart attack on Saturday December 8th, two days short of his 61st birthday.

He was a life-long resident of Akron. After serving in the US Marine Corps he pursued a career in heating, cooling and refrigeration until a motorcycle accident left him unable to meet the work's physical demands.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Donald and Helen Perrine; and sister, Lisa Perrine Cavanaugh. Leaving behind to mourn are his son, Dakota Perrine (Jessica); his grandchildren, Dakota Jr., Montana and Samaria; his brother, Donald (Diane) Perrine; niece, Elizabeth Morris; nephews, Zachary Morris (Julie Crumrine), Cooper Morris, Dr. Donald Perrine III (Stephanie) and Michael Perrine (Emily); great niece, Jaz Morris; and great nephews, Declan Morris and Remington Perrine; and soon to arrive great niece, Audrey Perrine. He will also be sadly missed by his aunt and uncle, Dr. and Mrs. Richard and Susan Hayes; numerous cousins, his brothers at Brothers MC and many other extended family and friends.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Terry Seiler "Squeak" for all the help you gave him over the years and to The Friendly Tavern, which I'm sure will never be the same. I'll bet he's really enjoying how beautiful heaven is on his motorcycle. We love you David (Gadget) and will miss you.

Per his wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at a future date. (Billow FAIRLAWN Chapel)
