Rickey Charles Perry

May 28, 1956 - October 7, 2020

With heartfelt affection, we announce Rickey Charles Perry, 64, of Katy, Texas, went to be with his Lord on October 7, 2020 after courageously battling cancer. He was born in Covington, Kentucky on May 28, 1956, the son of Ronald and Betty Perry. A devoted husband and father, Rick cherished his family above all else, including his beloved wife of 29 years, Lyssa, and children Anthony (Jena), Tyler and Shelby; grandchildren Lilli and Olivia; siblings Randy (Debbie), Dave (Melodi), and Rhonda; his parents and a multitude of extended family and friends. Rick was a graduate of Morehead State University (Theta Chi) with a degree in Sociology and spent his entire career in the hospitality service industry, including as the owner of CPM Resources. He was a natural athlete who excelled in multiple sports, including being named Theta Chi Fraternity Athlete of the Year. He continued his love for sports throughout his life as both a fan of several professional teams and a player in the Harris County Senior Softball league, where his presence is greatly missed. Rick accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and was a member of Second Baptist Church in Katy. A memorial celebration will be held Saturday, October 10, 2020 at 10 a.m. at Sugar Land Baptist Church, 16755 Southwest Freeway in Sugar Land, with Reverend Taylor Sandlin officiating. As Rick was a childhood cancer survivor and a life-long supporter of children’s cancer charities, the family asks that memorial contributions be directed to the M.D. Anderson Children’s Cancer Center.
