On Dec. 16, 1994, Mr. Corey George Perro Jr. was born to Corey G. Perro Sr. and Ayana Bell in New Iberia at Dauterive Hospital. Corey was a resident of New Iberia, and attended South Louisiana Community College. After completion of his education program, Corey relocated to Kent, Washington, where he worked in construction.

Corey was an affable and very bright young man who lived each day as a gift. He also greeted family, friends and strangers alike with respect and sincerity as this was a cornerstone within his personality. His adventurous and inquisitive nature made him a fearless adventurer and Corey made sure to explore the world around him at every opportunity and even charted time on the Bering Sea. However, Corey’s most notable and admirable trait was his dedication and love of his role as a father.

Corey will forever live on in the hearts of his two children, Ava and Ayven Perro, both of Kent, Washington; his mother, Ayana Bell and his sister Tonie Bell of Clinton, Mississippi; his father, Corey Sr.; stepmother, Jody; sister Emil; brother Tai Perro, all of Waldorf, Maryland, and brother Asis Shaw of Los Angeles, California; paternal grandmother, Claudia Hill Perro of New Iberia; great aunts Doris H.

Banks; great-grandfathers, John Henry Bell and Willie Banks; great uncles Murphy, John, Dallas, Kenneth and Chris Bell; uncles Adrian L., George, Willie (Pistol) and Vernal Banks; aunt Leona L.
