He was born in Kermit, WV on July 28, 1947 to the late General Perry and Lydia Messer Perry. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by sisters, Frances Sturgill, Lucy Williams, and Lottie Perry of Kermit, WV. Andy is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Deloris Ann Baisden Perry, and three daughters: Pamela Renee Perry of Canal Winchester, OH, Deidra Lea Govine (Scott) and Andrea Dawn Perry both of Hilliard, OH; his grandchildren: Nicholas Perry, Joshua Govine, Jessica Govine, Lucas Perry, Carter Buttel; siblings: Belle Kirk, Jesse Perry, and Albert Perry of Dunlow, WV, Elizabeth Perry of Ft.

Andy was a long time employee at Marble Cliff Block and Concrete Company. He has enjoyed his retirement the last few years, making many trips to the Great Smoky Mountains, TN with his wife and to WV to spend time with his siblings, ride his four-wheeler, and hunt. Andy loved his family and loved spending time with his grandkids and doing his best to spoil them. He never met a stranger and always tried to make sure everyone around him was taken care of. He was fun-loving, full of life, and nobody could tell a story quite like him. Andy and his great smile will be missed by many.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Callaham Funeral Home, Inez, KY.
