Perry Tripp Obituary

Perry Edward Tripp, age 68, passed away on Tuesday, July 15, 2025. A lifelong resident of White Oak, Perry was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and cherished friend to many.
Survived by his beloved wife of 41 years, Carla (née Jesse) Tripp. Loving father of Stacey (Doug) Farrell, Zack (Abbi) Tripp, and the late Michael Tripp. Adored grandfather "Papaw" of Baya Farrell. Dear brother of Ginny Tripp, Chuck (Debbie) Tripp, and the late Trudy Tripp. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. He will also be fondly remembered by his in-laws: Jan Englert, Barbie Beier, Kevin (Barb) Jesse, and Sheila (Denny) Dowers.
Perry was the son of the late Clarence and Martha (née Henson) Tripp. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Perry was affectionately known by his friends as "Chumly," while many of Stacey's and Zack's friends fondly called him "Perr Dogg." He leaves behind a legacy of dedication and warmth that will be forever cherished by those who knew him.
He devoted more than 30 years of his life working as a painter with the IUPAT Union, where he was respected for his perfectionism and keen attention to detail. Perry was also a longtime member of the Sunrise Athletic Club for over 40 years where it served as a social cornerstone for his closest friendships.
In retirement, Perry found his greatest joys in the company of his beloved granddaughter Baya and his loyal dog, Peaches-who he called "Girlfriend." He enjoyed many hobbies throughout his life, including golfing, fishing, gardening, singing karaoke on Thursdays at Trio's, and spending time at "the farm" with friends.
Perry's kindness, sense of humor, and genuine nature touched everyone he met. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
