Preston "Bexar" Perrin, 26, died suddenly at home on Thursday, October 28, 2021. He was born March 31, 1996, in Austin, Texas, where he lived until he moved to Northwest Arkansas at 18. His charisma and gentle heart were a gift to all who took time to know him. His artwork, music and poems touched many hearts. Every morning before work and every night before bed, he told his parents that he loved them. Every phone call with other loved ones ended the same way.

Bexar is part of a large, diverse family. He is survived by his daughter, Opal, the love of his life; his mother and father, Clint and Judy Perrin and his first parents, Tina Wilson and Tyrone Jackson; Opal's parents, Michele Australie and Matthew Casey; his grandparents, Beverly and John Henry and Rosemary Perrin; his siblings, Todd Perrin with Mariam Molina-Sanchez, Laureen and Brian Shattuck, Bill Perrin with Lisa Hilt, Brandon Wofford, Luci Perrin, April Perrin with Henry Long; Opal's co-parent, Lisa Woodie; his nephews, Kristopher Perrin, Christian Shattuck, Peter Shattuck and Nick Perrin; his nieces, Hailey Perrin, Violet Perrin and Genesis Long and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Herman and Lucile Preston, Frank and Doris Perrin and Timothy Wilson and his nephew, Gabriel Burton.
