Edward "Little Eddie" James Periso Iii

Edward James Periso III (little Eddie), of Deford, age 40, passed away unexpectedly at his home April 18th, 2024. Eddie was the oldest son born June 30th, 1983 to the late Edward Scott Periso Jr., and Dawn Donovan.

Eddie is survived by an only son, Owen James Periso; his significant other, Katie Diener, three brothers; Scottie (Melissa) Periso, Michael Periso (Sara Doyle), and Frankie Periso (Catherine Lugo); several uncles and aunts; Gary, Daryl and Kenneth (Liza) Periso; many nieces and nephews; Michael Jr, Joaquin, Brice, Morgan, Nataley, Grace, Bud, Tinsley and Cameron Periso; many cousins and friends, grandmother Kathrine Donovan and the mother of his son, Laura Killinger.

Eddie enjoyed time spent outdoors, whether it be golfing, fishing, cards or riding anything with an engine. He especially loved time spent with Owen, whether it be riding snowmobiles, teaching him to fish, or just tinkering in the garage. Eddie had a zest for life, and always lived it to the fullest (even if not the safest).

Eddie will be missed by all that knew him. He will always be known as ‘Little Eddie’ to all. You would never catch Eddie without his Marlboro Reds and a Mountain Dew nearby. Although Eddie’s life was cut short, he will remain in all our hearts forever.

Eddie was preceded in death by his parents, Edward Periso Jr and Dawn Donovan, paternal grandparents Edward Sr. and Shirley Periso, maternal grandfather William Donovan, aunts Robyn Donovan, Theresa Periso, and Stephanie Donovan; and uncle George Donovan.

There is a memorial being planned in the coming weeks. Please watch Facebook for details. In Eddie’s memory, please consider memorial contributions to his son, Owen Periso.
