José was born in Ann Arbor, MI on June 3, 1944, son of the late Hilario P. and Rita C. (Castillo) Perez. He was devoted to the Catholic religion and was an active member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Flint, MI, since 1950. José previously attended Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Flint, MI, Immaculate Conception in Lapeer, MI, St. Matthew Catholic Church in Flint, MI and St. Michael Catholic Church in Flint, MI. He served as president of the Legion of Mary at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Burton, MI and St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Davison, MI and prayed the Rosary several times daily. José enjoyed spending time at the East Side Senior Center, where he led the Pledge of Allegiance. He was compassionate and forgiving. His life was devoted to service and for many years, he visited nursing homes to pray and comfort the ill and lonely residents. Due to his own disability, José knew the healing power of a smile and a gesture acknowledging someone in need and freely offered those small, yet powerful gifts.
José is survived by his 4 siblings, Celia Perez-Booth, Ernesto (Onnalee) Perez, Antonio (Diane) Perez and Beatrice Perez; many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, grand-nephews, other loving family members and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Hilario and Rita Perez; brother, Jesus Perez and brother-in-law, Douglas Booth.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Juan Asencio for his many years of friendship.
