Perry DVM Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 30, 2015 at 2:00 AM Posted Aug. 30, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News James E. Perry DVM December 28, 1935 - August 23, 2015 James E. (Doc) Perry passed away Sunday, August 23, 2015 in Eagle Point, Ore. There was no cow he couldn’t catch, no yearling stud colt he couldn’t cut, no calf he wouldn’t try to save, and no chute he wouldn’t work for countless hours. He was a man loved by all who knew him. He was a man who would help anyone who needed it. He was a husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather,. He was a great friend, a hero, a role model, and a legend to many. Jim was born to Richard and Irma Perry in Arizona, December 28, 1935. The family moved to Southern Oregon while he was a young boy. Jim married his high school sweetheart, Claudia Hutton, August 5, 1955. Jim and Claudia settled in Eagle Point and raised three sons. Jim was a graduate of WSU College of Veterinary Medicine and spent the last 50 years as a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley. Jim put himself through veterinary school by winning in the many rodeos where he competed in calf roping and team roping. Jim taught his sons and grandsons to rope and you could see the twinkle in his eye as his two year old great-grandson was swinging his rope and roping the dummy. Jim is survived by his wife, Claudia; sons Mike (Miki), Mark (Zena) and Charles; grandchildren, Cody (Alex), Wade, Colby, Caleb Perry, and Raine Brown (Dustin); great-grandchildren, Jesse Perry and Dylan Brown. A celebration of life will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 3, at the ranch of Tom and Donetta Perry, 11099 Hwy 140, Eagle Point. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hope Ranch, P.O. Box 3788 Central Point, Ore. 97502. “Welcome to heaven cowboy, your entry fees are paid.” MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 30, 2015 at 2:00 AM You may leave your condolences or share memories by signing the Guest Book here » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
