Don Perry, Chick-fil-A’s chief spokesman died suddenly this morning.

“Don was a member of our Chick-fil-A family for nearly 29 years. For many of you in the media, he was the spokesperson for Chick-fil-A,” the company said in a statement. “He was a well-respected and well-liked media executive in the Atlanta and University of Georgia communities, and we will all miss him.”

Local media reported that Perry suffered a heart attack.

“Don was an incredible friend, a consummate PR professional, and was absolutely in love with Chick-fil-A,” said Steve Robinson, executive vice president of marketing at Chick-fil-A, in a statement.

Perry and his wife have three sons, and one grandchild.

  1. Lisa, no hate coming from the company or right thinking Christians, I just don't agree with their lifestyle. And their free to disagree with mine. We are all free to make choices but every choice has its consequence, good or bad.

    Dies suddenly? Wow…that's suspicious.

  3. Sucks the dude died, but seriously for a company to just not hire gay people and flat out bash gay marriage is horrid screw Chic-Fil-A but sorry the guy is dead.

    The gay coalition is a very, very small minority. This will all end soon. The majority of Americans know the gay lifestyle goes against the laws of God. However, this does not mean that God has forsaken gays. God sent His Son to die for the sins of man so we would not perish forever in eternity without God. God is patient. But Christianity wins in the end. Every knee will bow before Christ acknowledging Him as God, and confessing Him as the Christ and Lord of all things. This is truth. Man will continue to reject truth. This is why a small minority is rejecting Chic-fil-A. The CEO spoke the truth. Truth or God's law reveals sin. Man fights against those words that hold him accountable. The Word of God holds us all accountable. Man will continue to reject the Law of God because it holds him accountable. Man continues to put himself on the throne due to pride and selfishness. This is the lie that Satan continues to promote: "You do not need God…you can be your own god and make your own rules. In fact, depend on your own knolowedge and just believe in something…that is all that matters…"

    It's time to stop calling Leftists, Liberals. They are Leftists plain and simple. There are very few things a Leftists is liberal about in their thinking. If Leftists had their way, they would be in control of every aspect of our personal behavior and thinking. There is nothing "liberal" about the way a Leftist thinks.

  9. I love Chick-fil-a. I don't care what you think about this tragedy. That is all it is, is a tragedy when a father dies with kids that still need him. Who cares what this company believes.

  11. My sincerest regards to his family and everyone that knew him. All this started over a comment/opinion from the President of Chick-fil-a? Give me a break. Homosexuality is a choice made by a group of deranged people in our society since the beginning of time. The only good thing about homosexuality is they can't breed naturally anymore. Leviticus 20:13 – "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

      Haven't had a haircut or shaved lately Stan, have you?

      You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard

      Leviticus 19.27

      No tattoos or piercings, right?

      You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD.

      Leviticus 19:28

      Never done any work on the Sabbath, I hope…

      Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

      Exodus 35.2

      There is so much more. I hope you've never eaten shellfish, worn cotton and wool at the same time, or known any divorced women…

      Biblical law calls for public stoning to death for any of these horrible offenses….

      In case you were not aware, Christians are not bound by levitical law. Stop being a bigot and a christianophobe

    • Howard Aubrey /

      I guess you didn't notice that I was replying to someone who cited levitical law as support for their point of view….

      Science has already proven that conservatives are of considerably diminished intelligence, with those christians that believe in a 'god' being even dumber yet, there really isn't any reason for you to offer additional evidence every time you have a 'thought'….

      With those Christians that believe in a god even dumber yet? That is interesting because you cannot even be a Christian unless you believe in God lol. I have a 168 IQ. I believe in God and the bible because after a careful examination of the evidence, it is more likely than the other ideas. Quite honestly it takes more faith to believe in the THEORY of evolution than it does to believe in God.

      LOL you actually put forth that story as proof of anything while claiming to be intelligent? My dog is probably more intelligent than you.

      The problem here, I think, is that you are a hate filled bigot and a Christianophobe. You choose to be intolerant and judgmental of Christians.

    • Daniel Brock /

      I love how you claim science proved it. The link above shows the faulty science. Your reliance on that study as scientific proof that you hold in such high regard demonstrates your diminished intelligence.

    • I thought the U.S. was supposed to be a tolerant nation? The Chic-Fil-A. guy simply stated his view, if people are going to boycott for that, then they should stop buying petroleum products! Many of those nations actively kill homosexuals. Don't buy gas. Eat more Chicken, Oh and when I was at Chic-Fil-A yesterday they had a line around the whole store…. Hey maybe we could use their left over French fry oil to run our cars?

    • Howard Aubrey /

      Daniel, you omitted the decimal point, and we believe you. It's obvious that you have a 16.8 IQ.. In a room full of conservative morons, you set the bar quite high…

      You posted a blog to rebut a peer reviewed journal article…that speaks for itself….

      If you don't understand what the good professor is saying, just ask one of the adults to explain it for you….

      I hold all monotheists in equal contempt. They are of considerably diminished intelligence and full of self -righteous hatred and intolerance… They start most of our wars and other assorted chaos….they contribute nothing positive to society and seem to think raping little boys is an olympic sport….

    • Daniel Brock /

      You posted that particular article in order to claim that liberals have a higher IQ than conservatives. I responded to your post. You are a moron to not understand the difference and a moron to believe an article like that. I love how you have tried to move away from your ignorant comments and your hate filled bigotry. Intolerant bigots like you is what is wrong with this country.

    • Daniel Brock /

      Lol he blocked me. There is know better way to acknowledge that your argument was pathetic and you have lost than to block the person you are debating. That is one intolerant, christianophobic, hate filled bigot I don't have to argue with now

      GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! lol!

      Wow. You have no problem with the term Homophobe being thrown around constantly but you have an issue with the term Christianophobe. Hypcorite

  13. The closest Chic-fil-A is probably 50 miles from me, and I will drive there on August 1 to show my support for what is right. The CEO's right to hold proven and traditional beliefs and the sanctity of man-woman marriage. Consider the homosexual tilt of Greece and Rome and see where they are today. We don't hate homosexuals, just as we don't hate people that have sex with animals and we don't hate people with drug addiction problems. Two men who marry each other can't have kids, neither can two women, unless they get a normal person to help them create that child. The inability to procreate naturally shows that the lifestyle is an aberration.

    This is so not about chicken, this is about blatant discrimination and intolerance. If CFA said they didn't support LBGT rights, but they stopped donating and supporting right wing groups, I may feel differently. But sadly that is not the case. I am not a political activist, but I do know MY loving God sees all of us as equal, with the same rights. I am disturbed by the willingness to deny others their rights… and the inability to recall that many years ago similar issues were fought for women and African Americans. I don't care if you are pink, purple, Muslim, Catholic, gay, straight or bi…. it is not up to me to judge anyone else under the guise of the Bible supposedly saying "XX". Common sense and fairness have fallen by the wayside….

  15. Sue Rademacher /

    EVERY DIVORCED PERSON ON THESE THREADS APPLAUDING DAN CATHY ARE HYPOCRITES. they are giddy with happiness that he is championing "traditional marriage" when they themselves chose a different or "amoral" lifestyle. strange how some believe they can choose to break their religious vows, contracts, or rules to suit their needs, but others can't. ironic! and before you begin lashing out at me for being "a gay" or a political wacko on either side, I'm a moderate and don't respect either party (or their extremist followers).

  16. Stephen L. Kent /

    Perhaps a reminder of what this story is about: A person… a father, brother, son, uncle, cousin, grandfather has passed away. May his family, friends and co-workers find peace. The disrespectful posts herein are representative of why America has lost any moral high ground we may have ever had and why, unless we cease the divisiveness, this nation can only fail from here. Have some of you no sense of decency? At long last, when will you have your fill of hatred…

  17. One less hate-filled bigot in the world.

  18. I always thought it was the awful food that gave me the shitz, and here it was all the intolerance and hate mixed in. I haven't touched their crap food in decades, now I know why. It's funny, tho, how those spewing their hate disguised as 'values and morals' are always the first to cry foul when it is thrown back on them. This is just one of the hypocritical reasons why people are leaving Christianity in droves. You all make me as sick as this crap food.
