June 28, 1960 ~ December 20, 2023

David William Perrine Jr., (63) our beloved son, brother, father and grandfather, passed away suddenly on December 20, 2023. He was born on June 28, 1960, in Morristown, New Jersey to David William Perrine Sr. and Beatrice Mary Utman Perrine. He was the oldest of five sons. The family later moved to Utah, which David called home. David graduated a Cyprus High School Pirate in 1979. He loved all things athletic and outdoors — baseball, football, wrestling, skiing, riding horses, fishing and camping. 

 David met Kimberly Zito in the fall of 1987; they married on January 28, 1989, at Saint Martin de Porres Catholic Church. Together they had four incredible children, whom David cherished and adored. David made it a priority to be there for each one of them. He loved nothing more than spending time with his adult children, but his favorite role later in life was being a grandfather. He was always there for them to offer his love, encouragement and support.  

While those roles were dearest to his heart, he also found satisfaction in his career, which always involved some aspect of helping people. David’s coworkers not only considered him a valued colleague but a treasured friend. David’s final business card titles him as Junior Perrine, the “Financial Guru.”  

David always put the happiness of others above his own and would give the shirt off his back if it meant helping someone in need. He was known for his love of his country, sports, family and his Christian faith. Losing David is a huge loss to his family, his friends, his community and his coworkers. To say that David will be greatly missed would be a massive understatement.

All who truly knew David will understand us closing this tribute to him with “Have a great day and thanks for using voicemail.” 

David was predeceased by his father David Perrine Sr.; survived by mother Beatrice Hartin, former spouse and best friend Kimberly Perrine; children Ashlee Perrine, Ryan Perrine (Andraya), Christian Perrine and Abigail Vangerwen (Jack), along with his grandson Riley Perrine and granddaughter Ellayna Perrine.  

A funeral Mass was celebrated January 4, 2024 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Magna. Burial at Valley View Cemetery.
