Besides his parents; step-mother, Edgie Perrigo, brothers, Vester Perrigo and Floyd Perrigo, also preceded him in death. Carvine was a person with a different life than the most of us. Living in his own world and not being able to talk did not slow him down; Carvine had his own way of relating to people. He enjoyed people that cut-up and played around with him. Carvine loved to be outside, watching nature. He was a special blessing to all who knew him and will be sadly missed. He is lovingly survived by; sister, Maurine (Donnie) Cothron of Lafayette, Tenn., Jewell (Noie) Birge of Indiana and a host of extended family.
