Frank D. Peroni Jr.

Frank D. Peroni Jr. age 75 of Madison, passed away Sunday, March 16, 2025 at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born November 26, 1949 in Cleveland to Frank and Dolores Peroni.

Son of an Italian immigrant family, he graduated from Mayfield High School (’67) and John Carroll University (’72) before finding his niche as a 3rd generation concrete contractor. As his father and grandfather before him, he then shared his talents with his sons. No challenge was too great, taking out graph paper to sketch blueprints, effortlessly creating two of the family’s homes from the ground up and completing residential and commercial projects across NE Ohio. Upon retiring from his successful concrete contracting business, he passed it to his son James (4th generation contractor). In his retirement he enjoyed more of what he always had—traveling with his wife, building trucks, his hotrod and motorcycles, pursuing the mystery of “Bigfoot”, listening to rock and roll music and time with family. His sons recall an All Star Father who (despite his business commitments) somehow always made sure to go to every game, coached little league, and was a treasured mentor and friend in their adult life.

He is dearly missed by his wife, Patricia (Patti) Peroni; sons, Frank (Kate Gibbons), James (Brittny Helton). He was preceded in death by his beloved son Joseph (widow, Nadia Crnic Peroni); and his parents.

Friends and family will be received on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, from 5-7PM at the Behm Family Funeral Home, 26 River St. Madison, OH 44057. A Funeral Mass will be held for Frank on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 11AM at St. Cyprians Catholic Church, 4223 Middle Ridge Rd., Perry, OH 44081. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the American Cancer Society in Frank’s memory. Online Obituary and guestbook at www.behmfuneral.com
