Mike Perez

February 26, 1993 - August 14, 2020

The celebration of life memorial service for Michael Joseph "Mike" Perez of Wadena and formerly of California, will be held at 11:00 AM on Thursday, August 20, 2020 at the Wadena Alliance Church in Wadena with Pastor Cindy Lemke presiding. A gathering of friends and family will be from 9:30 AM until the time of services on Thursday at the church. Mike passed away unexpectedly at the age of 27 years on Friday, August 14, 2020 where he was residing in Wadena. Mike was born to Joseph and Katherine (Roman) Perez on February 26, 1993 in Martinez, California. He traveled all over the east coast repairing and replacing windows for three years. He worked for IFS in Perham and Pro Coat Painting. He loved his nieces and nephews and enjoyed spending time with them. He was never too tired or too sick to go throw the football or to play a few video games with them. Mike was known for his big heart, his goofy laugh, and his smile. He never hesitated to help when a friend or even a stranger needed it. Mike was always the life of the party and the first one to come to mind when needing a friend to lean on. He had many friends from all over that loved him like family and made a huge impact on everyone that had the opportunity to know him. He was a hard worker and a big family man. His biggest wish in life was for everyone around him to be happy and for them to do great things. Nothing made him happier than to see his friends and family succeed in life.  Preceding Mike in death were his father, Joseph and brother, Joe Perez. Left to honor Mike’s memory is his mother, Katherine of Wadena; siblings, Juan (April McMorrow-Hudson) Perez of Wadena, Antonio Perez of Perham, Edward (Nathee), Carlita, Gina, Lacey, Donna, Tommy, Albert, Eric and Gabriel Perez all of California.
