Sfc Dominic Maxwell Perry

Sergeant First Class Dominic Maxwell Perry, 38, of Aberdeen, North Carolina, passed away on June 12, 2024.

Born on June 14, 1985 in Weiden i.d. Opf., Germany to Carl and Sonja Perry, he enlisted in the United States Army in 2003. After completing basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina and advanced training at Fort Gordon, Georgia as a Satellite Communication Systems Operator/Maintainer, SFC Perry served with distinction at Fort Benning, Georgia, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and as a recruiter in Garner, North Carolina. His overseas deployments included tours in Iraq, Qatar, and Afghanistan.

SFC Perry's numerous awards and decorations testify to his exceptional service: the Joint Service Commendation Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Joint Service Achievement Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Meritorious Unit Citation, Army Superior Unit Award, Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Iraqi Campaign Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary and Service Medals, Non-Commissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, NATO Medal, Gold Recruiter Badge, Combat Action Badge, Senior Parachutist Badge, and Driver Badge.

In 2019, after a rigorous assessment, Perry was selected to join the elite U.S. Army Parachute Team as a Demonstration Parachutist. An extraordinarily experienced jumper, he logged over 3,100 freefall and 57 military static line jumps, serving as a coach-rated Tandem Instructor and Accelerated Freefall Instructor. With a true passion for skydiving, Perry took immense pride in being a "Golden Knight" but his greatest source of pride was his role as a devoted husband and father.

SFC Perry is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Jeanne; his parents Carl and Sonja Perry; sons Dominic Jr. and Dante; brother Curtis Perry of Louisiana; sister Rebecca Perry; and many extended family members and friends. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
