HOUSTON – Family and friends of 24-year-old Da’vion Perry are remembering his life.
The Houston man was among three people killed in a suspected drunk driving crash in Southwest Houston last Sunday.
Houston police said a driver identified as Tony Oliver ran a red light and T-boned into another car.
The three people in that car, including Perry, were killed.
“My baby was robbed of time with her dad,” said Chandra Chapron, who was Perry’s girlfriend and the mother of their child. “She’s not gonna remember his voice, remember his face. I have to make her remember him. That’s not okay.”
On Sunday, dozens of loved ones gathered at Townwood Park for a balloon release in his honor.
“If you knew him, you knew he was the life of the party,” said Perry’s mother Trinice Randle. “He had a big heart. If he was your friend or family member, he was going to show up however he could.”
The family tells KPRC 2 they hope the suspect gets punishment to the fullest extent of the law.
“You took not one, but three lives. My son was 24,” Randle said. “It’s nothing that’s going to bring him back. Drinking and driving, we all know not to do it.”
Oliver is currently facing an intoxication manslaughter charge. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
