Sheriff Neil J Perry;

You were a mentor, both professionally and personally, to so many.

You were a brother, a husband, a father, and a grandfather and your strength lives on in your family still here.

Your life was lived dedicated to family and community.

You were a leader that led with vision, courage, honor and integrity.

Sir, your work here is done.

Thank you for all the sacrifices you made and for teaching so many of us to just, “Do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reasons”.

Perry’s children are involved in law enforcement with daughter Michele a commander at the St. Augustine Police Department, son Keith with the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and daughter Missy with the Corrections Department of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

Watson told of going on a quiet patrol ride with the sheriff where they responded to a radio call for what Perry determined was a “difficult traffic stop.”

Watson questioned their going, and Perry answered. “I’m sheriff. I may be able to offer assistance.” When they got to the traffic stop they found deputies, Florida Highway Patrol troopers, officers and drawn guns.

Later that night Perry took a radio call about a barking dog, and the two went to a house where “a small little lady turned on the porch light, recognized the sheriff … and told him: ‘My, Sheriff Perry, you didn’t have to come yourself. You could have sent a deputy.’”
