Parrish “Perry” Fuerst

Perry Fuerst, longtime resident of Fort St. John, BC, passed away in Grande Prairie on Sunday, June 22, 2014 at the age of 50 years.

Perry was born on December 5, 1963 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Howard and Rose Marie. Perry, his parents and two brothers moved from Manitoba to BC. They lived in a few different towns before settling in Fort St. John. He met Tracey Laberge in 1980, and they have been together ever since. Perry had worked in the gas and oil field industry for 33 years. His enjoyments in life were fishing, camping, reading, gaming and spending time with family and friends. He really enjoyed being around his three grandchildren.

He will be sadly missed by his wife Tracey, his daughters and their families: Tricha (Jeremy and daughters Dakota and Sierra), Ashley (Dave and son Colten) and Nicole; his parents Howard and Rose Marie; brothers: Dale and Richard; maternal grandmother and step-grandpa; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, in-laws, nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews.
