Today, we laid our brother, Assistant Chief Steve Perry, to rest.

What we witnessed today was truly special. The outpouring of support, the full room, and the presence of so many friends, family members, and public safety professionals spoke volumes about the kind of man Steve was. He didn’t just wear the uniform, he made a lasting difference in people’s lives. Today showed just how far that impact reached.

To the Perry family, thank you for allowing us to stand beside you, honor him, and celebrate a life that meant so much to all of us. We will carry his legacy forward.

To everyone who attended, sent prayers, or reached out, thank you. Your support was seen and deeply appreciated.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to the agencies and partners who stepped up so we could take care of our own. Whether assisting with the service or covering stations and districts, you ensured our community remained protected while our firefighters and officers stood together to honor Chief Perry. A special thank you to the the departments who made it possible for so many to attend and pay their respects. That is the fire service at its core. That is family.

We also want to recognize and thank New Life Church and Russellville Family Funeral for providing the space and for the care, professionalism, and support shown throughout the service.

We are especially grateful to Fred Teague and Jeff Piker for leading the service with such thoughtfulness and respect in honoring Chief Perry.

To the many other departments and agencies who stood with us, your presence meant more than words can express. If anyone was unintentionally missed, please know your support did not go unnoticed.

Today was difficult, but it also served as a reminder of the strength of this profession, the bond we share, and the impact one person can have on so many.

Rest easy, Chief. We’ve got it from here.
