Friends and Family Rally for Ronald After Heart Attack Put Him into a Coma
Ronald Perry is in critical condition. A newly established GoFundMe account is intended to help his family.

Submitted by Friends of Ronald Perry
Ronald Perry is the 24 year old son of Ron and Rose Perry. Ron suffered sudden cardiac arrest on May 6, 2015. He was taken to Palos Hospital in Palos Heights where he is in critical condition and currently in a coma. His heart and organs are healthy but due to the lack of oxygen for such a long period of time he has suffered severe brain damage with half of his brain not functioning with minimal hope for recovery.
Prior to this Ron was your average 24 year old full of life. He loved spending his summers camping and fishing and had a love for sports and NASCAR!! If there was a Blackhawks or Green Bay Packers game on you knew where to find him!! Ron was looking forward to testing for the Ironworkers Union next month to start that retirement fund he dreamed of so one day he could retire and live on a lake somewhere. For those who knew him can agree he is the kindest, most loving, caring teddy bear who would do anything for anyone.
