The eldest of three, Perry was born on March 19, 1939, in Beaufort, North Carolina to the late Herman and Daphne Styron. He loved the Lord and was a member of Atlantic Missionary Baptist Church. As a true Core Sounder, Captain Perry spent most of his life as a commercial fisherman and was well respected for his instinctive knowledge of the water. He loved nature and was known for spending time in his yard, watching and feeding the hummingbirds, squirrels, and rabbits after he retired.

Perry married Kara Jo Mason on June 25, 1960, at Atlantic Missionary Baptist Church. He will be remembered as a loving husband of almost 61 years. Perry was also a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who always put his family’s needs first.

He is survived by his wife, Kara Jo Styron of the home; daughter, Charlene Fulcher and husband Chuck of Atlantic; son, Charles Perry Styron and wife Cindy of Atlantic; grandchildren, Matthew Perry Fulcher and Corey Wayne Fulcher and wife Hadley, all of Atlantic; and great-grandchild, Gibson Ward Fulcher of Atlantic.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Anthony “Tony” C. Styron and Ronnie L. Styron.

The family will receive friends from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., Friday, June 18, 2021, at Atlantic Missionary Baptist Church.
