PERKINS, Garrell Lynn "Buddy"
Buddy Perkins, age 69, resident of Austin, Texas was called by our Heavenly Father on September 1, 2016. He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Edison Perkins and his grandson, Alec Scott Bauman.
Shortly after attending Vinton High School and McNeese State in Louisiana, Buddy enlisted in the United States Air Force in June 1966. Stationed in Wichita, Kansas, Buddy was assigned logistical duties on the base for the monitoring of subterranean missiles silos until his honorable discharge in 1970.
Buddy had some wonderful years as an insurance and new home Salesman throughout his life. These careers took him all over the country from Wisconsin to Texas, and many states in between. He met some wonderful people along the way, many whom remain lifetime friends. Buddy settled down in Austin, Texas upon retirement.
Buddy is survived by his loving mother, Margie Chargois, son, Chad Perkins and daughterinlaw, Anna Perkins, and daughter, Kecia Perkins Bauman and granddaughter, Jillian Bauman and many loving family and friends. The family would like to thank all of those friends who took care of Buddy over the last 9 months. He was truly blessed to have you by his side.
"Death may indeed be final, but the love and friendship we shared while living, is eternal"-Dave Williams. We will all miss you very much Buddy...
