Community Mourns Death of 24-year-old Oak Forest Man
Ronald Perry was previously in a coma after suffering a heart attack.
An Oak Forest man has lost the fight for his life. Ronald Perry, 24, died Saturday, May 16, after falling into a coma following a heart attack.
Perry is described as a sports fan—Nascar especially—who loved spending his summers camping and fishing. The Chicago Blackhawks and Green Bay Packers fan had plans to join the Ironworkers Union next month “so one day he could retire and live on a lake somewhere,” friends say.
The 2008 graduate of Oak Forest High School was the son of Ronald Sr. and Rose Perry, and brother of Christopher Perry.
