Obituary
Perry Hawkins, 52, of McLean passed
away peacefully on February 18, 2025, at OSF St.
Joseph Medical Center, surrounded by his family.
He is the son of Gary and Janet
Hawkins and was born on March 1, 1972.
Perry leaves behind his son, Blake, Galesburg;
parents, Gary and Janet Hawkins, McLean; brothers,
Alex Hawkins (Jennifer), McLean and Matt (Jenny)
Hawkins, Springfield; nieces, Rylee Hawkins and baby
Charlotte arriving in June. Additionally, he is
survived by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
Perry is predeceased by his son, Zachary, his
maternal grandparents, Donald and Betty Slupianek
and paternal grandparents, George and Toni Hawkins.
He graduated from Olympia High School and was
employed at Bridgestone Firestone for 20 years.
Perry loved the Steelers, long car drives and loud
rock music, ketchup and cheese placed on all foods,
and dining out as often as he could. He was right
99.9% of the time and reminded his Mom of this
often. He was happy to set his standards low when it
came to housekeeping. Yet, he was most generous and
shared what little he had with others as often as he
could. He will be missed immensely by his family.
