Ivan Gene Perrin

Ivan was born on June 19, 1938 in Grandview, Washington to George and Ivey (Richardson) Perrin. He was a proud Veteran of the National Guard and dedicated his entire career to the Railroad, a profession that fueled his lifelong passion for trains.

Ivan was a Master Mason, 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason, a member of the Shriners, and embodied their values. He showed kindness to everyone he encountered, had a giving nature, was a source of fun and laughter, and lived a long life with integrity. He will be forever remembered for his kindness and jovial spirit, Ivan brought laughter and joy to all who knew him.

Ivan was preceded in death by his Parents, nine siblings, Wife, Edna Perrin, and Son, Timothy Perrin. He is survived by his Son, Gene Perrin (Shelly), Daughter, LuCinda Perrin, Daughter-in-Law, Kriste Perrin, six Grandchildren, ten Great-Grandchildren, and several Stepchildren, Step-Grandchildren & Step-Great-Grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Shriners Children’s Hospital, a cause close to Ivan’s heart. Condolences and memories may be shared with the Family at the Dignity Memorial website.

His legacy of kindness and laughter will forever live in our hearts.
