Mr. David T. Perrin

With the passing of Bro. David Theodore Perrin, the world is left to celebrate the life and love of one of its most outstanding examples of strength and love. On Sunday, April 22, 2012, he transitioned this life to receive his eternal reward.
David was born December 25, 1950 to Paul and Marilyn Perrin in Waterloo, Iowa where he was also educated in the Blackhawk County School System. David met his beautiful wife Doris on January 6, 1982, proposed at The Magic Moment Restaurant on February 6, 1982 and they were married on March 6, 1982. Their union of love has lasted for more than 30 years.
He was the CEO and Owner of Partners in Excellence, Inc. which is a company specializing in promotional products and corporate wearables. He was also a certified PHD Cruise and Land Vacation Specialist and a finished carpenter by trade.
David's love for God began in his early years. In January, 1988 at an Amway Business Convention, he and Doris heard the simplicity of the word of God and accepted the Lord as their personal savior and began a renewed life of service that has never stopped but has grown tremendously. His service in ministry has spanned from teaching couples how to have a loving and meaningful marriage and having small bible studies with friends over lunch.
David leaves to cherish his beloved wife, Doris Angelika Perrin; his mother, Marilyn Ormord and his step mother, Mildred Perrin of Waterloo, Iowa; a brother, Michael Nolan (Alyce) of Camino, California; three sisters, Kathy Dunning (Todd) of Alamo, TX; Carol Stainbrook (Bruce) of Kimberling City, MO; Susan McNeilly (Charles) of Beaverton, Oregon and a host of nieces and nephews.
David was preceded in death by his father, Paul Perrin.
Genuine heartfelt love has been expressed from friends, family, Mama and Francene Hash, and especially by Bishop J.C. and Lady Joy Hash, the St. Peter's World Outreach Center Church family, and both David's and my generation leaders and cell members as I have experienced "My David's transition.
David's love and memory will remain in our hearts and spirits forever. We will never forget his gentle smile and soft voice. Because his spirit will always be with us, we will forever seek to raise our depth of love for our Lord. Our prayer is that those who knew David will be compelled to carry on his legacy of love from generation to generation.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out to me and David's family in any way whether in prayer, time, resources, or any other generosity. We extend our sincere thanks.
The David Theodore Perrin Family
A service honoring his memory will be held at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at St. Peter’s World Outreach Center Church.
