Ryan Keith Perkins, of Thompson’s Station, Tennessee, passed away on October 5, 2026, at the age of 49. Born on June 13, 1977, in Nashville, Tennessee, he died surrounded by his loving family.

Ryan will be remembered as a devoted husband and provider who built a successful business from the ground up full of customers who adored him and counted him as a friend, but his greatest joy was being a dad. He loved the everyday blessings of family life and took special pride in supporting his children in their activities. From band pit crew to the audience they could always count on, he was dedicated to sharing in the moments that mattered most.

He found enjoyment in playing golf, watching University of Tennessee football, and spending time with his bourbon club friends and was always willing to lend a hand to those who needed it. He could fix anything or figure it out if he needed, and he wouldn’t just share the tool. He’d come do the job for you. Above all, Ryan’s life was centered on the people he loved.

He is survived by his wife, Amber Perkins, with whom he shared 22 years of marriage; his daughters, Isabella Perkins and Elisabeth Rose “Rosie” Perkins; father, George Houston (Gayle) Perkins, brothers Vance (Julie) Perkins and Brett Perkins; and his sister, Staci (Doug) Irwin; and many wonderful nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly. He was preceded in death by his mother, Peggy Casper Perkins.

A private graveside service for immediate family will be held on October 12, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Williamson Memorial Gardens, 3009 Columbia Ave, Franklin, Tennessee 37064. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
