The head of public relations at Chick-fil-A died Friday morning of an apparent heart attack, according to a local news report.
WBRL News 3 in Georgia identified the employee as Donald A. Perry, the company’s vice president of Corporate Public Relations.
His death comes as Chick-fil-A finds itself embroiled in a public relations fiasco with the gay community and supporters of same-sex marriage protesting the company because of statements made by company president Dan Cathy.
Perry joined Chic-fil-A in 1983, according to information posted on the website of Hillcrest Church of Christ. He became an elder of the church in 1997.
The church biography said Perry “enjoys leading his church fellowship cell group, as well as working to help maintain harmony in the congregation.”
“One of the challenges sometimes is helping to reconcile differing views among members,” Perry said, according to the church, “but we work to keep unity of the faith.”
The Daily Caller will update with more details as they become available.
Good FRiend, you don’t know the South. This family lives in Atlanta.
They’re already covered up in congealed salad, ham and chicken, vegetable casseroles, sweet tea, and more good desserts than you can even imagine. That church family don’t need no caterer.
Your well-meaning sentiment might be so in other parts of the country, but not in the Bible belt. Promise.
You can bet it already started..my condolences go out to Perry’s family..how absolutely horrible
Fiasco?
Betcha the franchise profits go up.
And stay there.
Shove it up your smelly Obamas, gays.
I don’t give a hoot what you do, but I sure as h*ll don’t want to know about it.
Get a room.
A soundproof one.
Not long before those lefties celebrate.
To say the least.
Church Ladies, in the South we have Church Ladies and they provide the food, mounds of it. Food from a restaurant at a funeral is almost unheard of and would get you talked about. ;)

You get a Gold Star. :>)
Why him and not the Owner of the company?
He was obviously under a lot of stress over this. Hell I'm under a lot of stress over this and all I do is eat there once in a while.
I'm sure you will see a lot of glee on the various news sites with them all claiming that their Homosexual loving god struck him down or some such nonsense. The hatred expressed by these people knows no bounds. I know, as I have visited these sites and their use of gutter language and vile references to anyone who dares to think differently from them is just unbelievable. Some of the things these hate filled Cretans have posted on Chick fil A's website would make a sailor blush.
Prayers for his family.
Didn’t see his age. Poor guy - must be stressful to be under attack from the depraved Lavender Mafia.
Won’t work. If gays are the “new blacks,” then blacks are the OLD (tired of them) gays. Nowadays “gay” is light years ahead in the victimization race.
Public Relations Fiasco? You couldn't tell that by the overwhelming crowd of patrons yesterday at lunch. The parking lot was full, cars were wound around Chick Fil A 2 times to get to the drive thru, and people like me were parking in the field across the street out back. Mrs. O-Fan and I are headed there tonight for dinner. Haven't seen a single protester show his worthless behind there.
As I sit here enjoying my Chick-fil-A sandwich, I thank God for that organization and the courage of the CEO to speak out for traditional family values.
Probably the huge spike in sales that caused it.
“....Jackal?”
He has likely been under a lot of stress lately.
May Donald A. Perry RIP.
