David has won the battle and now has a perfect body without pain, made possible by God, for whom he had much love and devotion.

David loved people and was devoted to helping them however he could, either with the Word of God or just being by being there for anyone in need.
His family recalls his devotion to them as well, he was a great provider, a loving husband and father.

Giron, and many close family members: son, Derek (Crystal) Eairheart and step-daughter, Sabrina Johnson; his siblings, sister, Darlene C. Brown (or as he liked to call her, Cynthia) and brothers, Daniel and Don; three grandsons, Courage, Zach and Steven; and two granddaughters, Harmony and Bryanna. His nephew and two nieces, Jonathan, April and Lindsay, and his parish family will always remember his words of wisdom and his great love of God along with being a great spiritual leader as well.

In David’s Voice “PSALM 19: 13…Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression. 14…May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and Redeemer.”

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Joe was a friend to all, and he was extremely; faithful to his friends, and family.
He loved visiting and if it included sharing a beer, he called it bonding.
He adored his grandchildren and any activities he could share with them, which over the years included horsey rides, nature hikes, miniature golfing, and on and on.
Joe was born in the Bay Area and grew up on the grounds of San Quentin, his dad being one of the guards there, so he wasn't afraid of much.
He was a laborer in the geothermal fields in Lake County for 20 years, and then he and his wife owned and operated Sandebeach Trailer Lodge in Lucerne for 25 years.
Joe was a humble and funny guy, and will be missed by family members and friends; his wife, Judi McAuley; sons, Ryan and Brenden McAuley and their families; brother, Dan and Margie McAuley and family; niece, Brenna McAuley and family; sister-in-law, Mandy Hofer and family; also loved and will be missed by his wife's family, Chris and Liz McVey and family, Angela and Keith Austin and family, and Scott McVey and family.

David "Bud" Allan Perry. Courtesy photo. LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – David "Bud" Allan Perry was born on March 2, 1925, to David A. Perry and Marie Ellen Brotherton-Perry in Duluth, Minnesota.
He passed peacefully at home on Aug. 26, 2020, with his family at his bedside.
At 17 years young, he joined the U.S. Navy and was a seaman on the destroyer U.S.S. Mullany for the duration of World War II. The ship took a direct hit from a Japanese Kamikaze airplane which eventually caused the captain to order an abandon ship. Hours later the ship was still afloat so it was boarded by “Bud” and a skeleton crew. They managed to get one boiler functioning and limped into a safe harbor.
David owned a small lumber company in Pacifica, California, retiring in 1999 and moved to Lake County to be near his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. He recently said he had done and seen everything he ever wanted in his 95 years.
David was predeceased by his mother, father, brother and two sisters.
He is survived by his son, David Perry Jr., of Costa Rica; daughter, Ellen Perry-Noble and son-in-law, John Noble of Upper Lake (whom he also considered a son); son, Timothy Perry of Montara, California, and daughter, Jaquelyn Perry of Portland, Oregon; granddaughter, Tanya Noble of Upper Lake; grandsons, Tim and Colby Noble of Upper Lake, David "Joe" Perry of Costa Rica, and Nicholas Perry of Nice. He also leaves behind numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
David was one of the last to be considered of "The Greatest Generation" and he fit that to a tee. He was kind, considerate and had a scalpel-sharp wit. He was a hero to his entire family.
"So long Pa.”
