Stephen Walter Perez

Stephen Walter Perez, 59, of High Point, passed away Saturday, May 30, 2026, at his home.

Born July 22, 1966, in Manhattan, New York, Steve later made North Carolina his home, where he spent much of his life. He worked as a maintenance professional and was known for his strong work ethic, helpful nature, and the familiar jingle of keys that often announced his arrival before he entered a room.

He is survived by his daughters, Victoria Perez and Bianca Perez; his stepdaughter, Letteria Pagan; the mother of his daughters, Letteria DiMaggio; his mother, Elaine Perez; his sister, Amanda Perez; and his beloved grandchildren, Alyssa Perez, Isaiah Pagan, Angelina Wilson, Angelo Nieves, Mia Nieves, Julian Santos, Susana Santos, and Michael Ramirez. 

Steve was a lifelong fan of rock music and enjoyed collecting memorabilia, reading books, and watching Star Trek. He found joy in sharing his interests with others. As a grandfather, he played an important role in the lives of his grandchildren, helping to care for and support them through the years.  

Service arrangements will be announced at a later date.

Wright Funerals-Cremations, High Point is in charge of arrangements.
