Percy Eugene Freeman, Sr., a beloved son, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, in the Emergency Room of WVU Weirton Medical Center. Born on December 22, 1975, in Steubenville, Percy was a son of Clara Etta Freeman.
A graduate of Steubenville Big Red High School in 1995, Percy furthered his education by earning an associate’s degree in Small Business and Entrepreneurship from Belmont Technical College. He has worked for the past six years at the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Imperial, PA. His love for learning and ambition was evident in every endeavor he pursued.
Percy was a devoted family man whose heart overflowed with love for those around him. He was known for his welcoming spirit, never meeting a stranger and always ready with a smile and a helping hand. His wife Sheila fondly noted he was “the best man ever,” a testament to the warmth and kindness he consistently shared.
A man of faith, Percy found strength and comfort in his favorite prayer, the Serenity Prayer, which defined his outlook on life. He had a passionate devotion to his favorite teams, cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes and the San Francisco Forty-Niners.
Percy cherished his family above all, finding joy in the laughter and love shared with his grandchildren. His legacy will undoubtedly live on in their hearts and in the memories of all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
