Lazero J. Perez

Mr. Lazero J. Perez “Larry” passed away on Sunday, May 18, 2025, in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Age 29 years. Lazero was born in Saginaw, Michigan, to Susette Perez.

Larry was a resident of Saginaw, MI, and a graduate from Suttons Bay, MI. He was employed as a construction worker.

Larry loved building things (he built his own computer). Larry loved spending time with his son. He enjoyed taking his niece and nephew to the park and doing makeovers with his niece. Larry was a gamer who liked playing online with his friends. Larry had the biggest smile to match his big heart. He was the most helpful person you could meet; he would jump out of the car to help someone in need. Lazero was the strongest person we knew. He loved his cat Budda like a bonus child.

Lazero leaves to cherish his memory his son Damien Rhoades; mother Susette Lee Perez; sister, Claudia Perez; grandmother, Sandra Waukazoo; one niece, Elida Griffin; one nephew, Keaton Griffin “KJ”; five aunts; five uncles; and thirty-seven cousins.

Lazero was preceded in death by his grandfather, Lazero Perez Sr., his uncle, Rick McSawby, and his aunt Dori Burgess.
