In Loving Memory of

David Joe Perez

June 2, 1980 - June 26, 2026

With hearts full of love and sorrow, we announce the passing of our precious son, David Joe Perez.

David Joe was a remarkable young man whose life was defined not by the challenges he faced, but by the joy he brought to everyone around him. His smile could brighten the darkest day, and his laughter was a gift that will echo in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

He embraced life with a spirit that inspired others, reminding us every day that happiness is found in love, family, friends and the little moments that became the biggest memories.

David Joe didn't need many words to tell you how he felt. He spoke with his eyes. They sparked with joy when he heard Tejano music, lit up on Houston Texans game day, and told stories that words never could.

Those who truly knew David learned to understand the language of his eyes. His eyes were a window to a beautiful soul, and anyone fortunate enough to meet his gaze was forever changed.
Some people spend a lifetime touching hearts David Joe did it every single day.
In Loving Memory of David Joe Perez, you will be forever missed, but your spirit will live in our hearts forever.
