February 11, 1951 ~ October 3, 2019

Randy Perkes, 68, passed away Thursday, October 3, 2019.

He was born February 11, 1951 in Logan, Utah to Larry Udell and Sara Maureen Leishman Perkes. He grew up in Roy, Utah and graduated from Roy High School.

On May 8, 1993, Randy married Jalene Marie Comer in Ogden, Utah.

He had a 45 year career in the automotive industry in which 38 of those years were at Ed Kenley Ford (Ed, Jewell, Lee and Brett Kenley).

Randy had a “green thumb” and was often asked for gardening advice from family and friends. His yard was always beautiful and immaculate. He always looked forward to Spring so he could plant his multitude of flower beds and vegetable gardens. He harvested everything he grew. He also spent many hours on his grandfather’s 1956 tractor.

He had a love for his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He looked forward to his annual trip to Sturgis, South Dakota. He made the trip for 22 years in a row.

Randy raised and bred quarter horses. There was a rumor among “the horses” that they all wanted to stay at the Perkes’ Shed Row because of the care they were given.
