Daniel Robert Perichino of York Maine and Maitland Florida, went home to be with Jesus on September 27, 2024, at the young age of 36.
Danny faced his 12-year battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with incredible courage, grace, and resilience. Diagnosed in 2012 and again in 2015, he underwent stem cell/bone marrow transplant in 2016. In the spring of 2024, he was diagnosed for the 3rd time, receiving chemo/immunotherapy to prepare for another stem cell/bone marrow transplant. He fought bravely until complications from his treatments took him from us.
Danny’s love for his family and friends was immeasurable. He left his mom and step-dad, Jeannie & Earl Rudman of York Maine, his big brother and sister-in-law Tony & Stephanie Perichino and nieces Carina and Ari Perichino of Hagerstown Maryland and his father, Alan Perichino of Daytona Florida.
A graduate of York High School, Class of 2006, and a proud attendee of Husson College, Dan lived his life with a heart full of love, humor, and kindness. He was truly a bright light in this world, always uplifting and encouraging others. Even through the most challenging times, he never lost the joy and warmth that defined him. In 2010 Dan embarked on a new journey with his best friend, Andrew Rapier, and moved to Orlando where he was co-founder/owner and CEO of Sawtooth Media Group, a successful digital marketing company in Orlando as well as his own company, DanPTV.
Dan loved to laugh and brought laughter to so many. He enjoyed time with his family and friends, his beloved pets Banks, Frankie, Charlie, Louie, and Theo. He loved music, being creative, watching wrestling with the guys, and he loved his hat collection. Danny always found the good in everyone he met and he always rooted for the underdog.
We will honor the incredible joy and love that Danny brought into our world with a celebration of his life in the spring of 2025. Until then, his memory will live on in all of us who were blessed to know and love him.
