Perry D. McCrea, 67, St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away Friday, May 2, 2025.
He was born August 16, 1957 to Loron V. and June V. (Brewer) McCrea in St. Joseph, Missouri.
A graduate of Benton High School, Perry carried with him the lessons and friendships he formed in those years throughout his life. He dedicated 35 years working as a drywaller. More than his work, Perry was recognized for his enthusiasm for motorcycles. His joy lay in the roar of an engine and the freedom of the open road. Beyond the garage, he enjoyed making friends who became as close as family.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his daughter, Erin Knight.
Survivors include his children, Brendan Kilgore, Matthew Stout, and Melissa Stout; grandchildren, Maddan and Holden Kilgore; siblings, Linda Meyer, Penny Russell, Twin Terry Campbell, and Holly Meade; and ex-wife, Sheree McCrea.
