Mr. Barry McDale Perkins, Sr.

Born on July 17, 1976 to Barbara Perkins and Danny Jackson, Barry MeDale Perkins was born in Rankin County, Mississippi in the Fannin Community. Affectionately known as "BP" by family and friends, he was a unique young man that never met a stranger. He attended school within the Rankin County School District (Northwest Rankin). At age 17, he met Ms. Carley Tigrett of Brandon, Mississippi and developed a peaked interest in her. Time progressed and their paths took a different direction. However, destiny allowed them to cross paths again and this time it resulted in a beautiful wedding to his " All of Me Doll Face" on the sands of Pensacola, Florida, June 20, 2015. BP decided at the ripe age of forty to go back and obtain his high school diploma at Hinds Community College for his mama. He later completed trucking school at DSC and worked hard to become an entrepreneur. He established a thriving Detail Handwash Business in downtown Brandon, Mississippi, a recreational Space Jump Rental Company, a partnership in Banks Bros Trucking and ultimately started a successful trucking fleet with his wife, Perkins Empire Trucking. BP took pride in attending all of his adopted children, nieces and nephew's sporting events, graduations, church functions and other special events just to show his love. Barry loved people, cars, Gucci, traveling, family gatherings and most of all he loved God. Because of his growing livelihood as a trucker, he and his family relocated to Florida, however, BP would often travel back to Mississippi to worship at his church, Rehoboth International Ministries in Pearl, Mississippi. He was under the leadership of Apostle Bobby E. Stapleton, Jr. Barry passed from the earthly life on May 2, 2024 at his Mississippi home in Morton, Mississippi.
