Barry Michael Perlin, MD

Barry Michael Perlin, MD, a devoted neonatologist, passed away peacefully in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 16, 2026. He was born November 23, 1948, in New York, New York, to Zelda and Barnard Perlin. The second son in a family of four children, Barry grew up alongside, and is survived by, a sister and two brothers.

Dr. Perlin completed his medical residency at Boston University and a specialized fellowship in neonatal intensive care at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. For 42 years he practiced neonatology with compassion and steadiness, caring for countless newborns—especially those born critically ill—and expressing deep gratitude for the nurses who worked alongside him.

At home he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather who shared his passions for family meals, classical music, and his extensive Lionel model electric train collection. He is survived by his beloved wife of 25 years, Sue Ann; six children; and 14 grandchildren, who brought him great joy and love.

He will be laid to rest at Palm Downtown Mortuary and Cemetery in Las Vegas. In lieu of flowers donations can be sent to Mission Church 6624 Sky Pointe Dr. Las Vegas, NV 89131.
