One thing for certain, two things for sure.” “I don’t chew my cabbage twice.”  These are the words spoken by a wise old soul who had lived well beyond his thirty-four years. Ryann Perry said what he meant, he meant what he said, and all was right with the world. Because he lived, he made an impact of God’s grace, humor, understanding, simplicity, value, humility, respect, family, friendship, nature, but of all Love. Which is the core of our sheer existence we should leave with those we meet along life’s journey. Ryann Perry, 32, of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, passed on May 01, 2022. Ryann was born on June 07, 1989, to Rosie Perry and Alex Sylvester in Hot Springs, AR. He was raised by his PawPaw, Luther Perry, and his mom Rosie, her sweet baby boy, her good kid along with uncles and cousins who were more like his brothers and sisters. Some might say that Ryann’s “old ways” were attributed to being around and learning from his PawPaw.  He accepted Jesus Christ as His Personal Savior and was baptized at Nazarene Missionary Baptist Church. Those life lessons were valuable and worthwhile as Ryann grew into the man he would become. Work and Cars go hand in hand. Because of his love for cars, he needed to work. He bought old cars so he could repair them. Friends were needed to help with these ventures. Lifelong friends. Friends that he guided, encouraged to do the right thing, not following the crowd, making your own way, working, having fun. And if he was not working or with family, he could be found cultivating the soil. Toiling over some tomato plants, peppers, or cucumbers. Gardening and Farming getting back to nature. Despite how he might have felt on occasions, Ryann loved food and thought of himself as a Cook. He would try almost anything at least once. Cow tongue for example and his go-to condiment was Mayo, and he had to have some kind of Pepper (Jalapeño, Habanero) on the side of whatever dish he was eating. And when he cooked you never knew what concoction of species, he had put together to make the dish. His answer was “Surprise.” Just like he tried everything to eat, he felt that way about Food Trucks and Soul Food Restaurants. However, he had a favorite, and that was Meatloaf.
