Timothy Paul Perry

Tim was born to Margaret Hennessy and Albert Perry and grew up alongside his siblings, Margaret Hoeflinger, Joan Rondo, and Bill Perry, all of whom preceded him in death.

Tim dedicated 34 years of his life to United Airlines. His career began in Chicago and later took him to Los Angeles.He eventually transferred to Sacramento and moved to Roseville, California, where he met Gloria. They married in 1995, and Tim moved to Meadow Vista. He called Meadow Vista his “little heaven” and loved the trees, the hills, and all the wildlife that surrounded him there.

But the most important part of Tim's life was never his career - it was his family. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Gloria, and a loving stepfather and Papa. Tim was especially devoted to his granddaughters and was the kind of Papa who would drop everything when one of them needed him.

Whether it was his time, his help, or simply being there, his family knew they could count on him. Generosity was simply part of who Tim was. He was generous with both his time and his money and was always willing to help the people he cared about. His caring nature extended beyond family and friends. Tim had a way of approaching new people, starting a conversation, and making them feel comfortable and welcome. He didn't just say he cared - he showed it through the way he treated others.

Those who knew Tim will also remember the things that were unmistakably his. He loved his old truck, had a special fondness for Bullwinkle, and enjoyed the simple, familiar things that made him happy. These are the little pieces of Tim that will continue to bring smiles and stories to those who loved him.

Tim is survived by his loving wife, Gloria Perry; his stepdaughter, Tamara Salas; his granddaughters, Jordan Curiel, McKenna Trauernicht, Devon Trauernicht, and Raquelle Salas; his great-granddaughters, Scarlet Curiel and Fallon Burton; and his great-grandson, Luca Trabakoolas-Burton.

Tim leaves behind a family who knew they could depend on him, granddaughters who knew Papa would be there when they needed him, and a lifetime of memories that will continue to be shared. His generosity, devotion to his family, and the countless ways he showed up for the people he loved will not be forgotten
