In loving memory of Jack Joseph Perry

April 21, 2008 - May 12, 2026

Jack Joseph Perry, lovingly known as “Buggyman,” passed away peacefully on May 12, 2026, surrounded by the family who adored him most — his Dad Joe, Mom Jenn, Sister Isabella, and his loyal dog sister Chloe. Jack spent 18 wonderful years filling his home with gentleness, comfort, and unconditional love.

A beloved puggle with the sweetest soul, Jack was known for his calm nature and loving heart. He found his greatest happiness curled up on the couch beside his dad for long naps, keeping watch with Chloe as they barked at deer together, and enjoying every Happy Meal from McDonald’s and pup cup from Bruster’s that came his way. He also shared a special bond with his dad through countless games of fetch with his favorite small squeaky balls — a collection that at one point numbered in the hundreds. Nothing made Jack happier than chasing after another squeaky ball and proudly bringing it back for one more throw. In recent years, one of Jack’s favorite pastimes was sitting on the deck in Brigantine, barking proudly at passing boats as if protecting the shore himself.

Jack had a quiet, special way of making everyone feel loved. Whether through a soft cuddle, a familiar bark, or simply being nearby, he brought comfort and joy to the people lucky enough to know him. His family will forever remember the warmth he brought into their lives and the countless memories made with him over the years.

Though their hearts are broken, Joe, Jenn and Isabella take comfort knowing Jack passed peacefully, surrounded by love. He was not just a dog, but a cherished member of the family, and his paw prints will remain on their hearts forever.
