Noman Kent Perkins
April 6, 1942 – August 17, 2025

Noman was born in Woodland, Washington, and lived most of his life in Northern California and Humboldt County. He worked in various lumber mills and spent his days hunting, fishing, and cutting firewood. His true place was always in the mountains or along the riverbanks.

Family was very important to Noman. He is survived by his wife of over 40 years, Judy; his sister, Erma (Corky); and his daughters Kim, Amy, and Rhonda. He also leaves behind many grandchildren: Dustin, Dakota, Daniel, Destiny, Davian, Mikie, Kara, Veronica, Anthony, Ashley, Tyler, Austin, Justin, Tayia, Lacey, Kylee, and adopted grandson Jose. His great-grandchildren include Willow (Willy), Wrenly (Odie), Henry, Finn, River Lynn, Carter, Michael, Isaac, Lynsie, Theo, Levi Noman (named after Noman), Tidus, and two more on the way. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Gladys; his sisters Elaine and Wanda; his brothers Herman, Tommy, Jim, and Buddy; his daughter Christina; and his grandsons Jesse and Dale Wayne.

Noman shared a special bond with his in-laws Janis and Jeff Cossairt. The family would also like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Karlie and Dustin Page for the love and care they gave Noman over the past five years. He appreciated you more than words could ever express.

Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Life on October 10, 2025, from 12–2 p.m. at 4316 Union St, Eureka, CA 95503. His ashes will be scattered at Fern Camp, Trinity County/Ruth, on October 11, 2025.
