Produs Micheal Perkins

REFLECTION Produs Michael “Scott” Perkins was born on April 24, 1948, in Lexington, NC to his dear and loving mother, Ida Mae Perkins Love. He was educated in the Lexington City public school system and is a proud member of the Dunbar High School class of 1966. He was a star football player all four years and served as captain of the football team. He was inducted into the Dunbar High School Hall of Fame.Scott attended Livingstone College in Salisbury, NC where he continued playing footballfor four years as a defensive back and cornerback. He was captain of his Livingstone College football team. In the Fall of 1968, Scott crossed the burning sands of Omega Psi Phi, Fraternity, Inc., Lambda Psi Chapter. Scott is a proud graduate of the Livingstone College class of 1970. That same year, he was drafted to the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers. He soon signed with the ACFL Roanoke Buckskins. Scott was inducted into the Livingstone College Hall of Fame in 2006. Scott began his career in banking but found his calling in law enforcement in 1976 when he was accepted without hesitation into the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Scott was a skilled investigator as a Special Agent in the FBI earning numerous awards, accolades and recognition. He retired after 35 years of stellar service. After enjoying retirement for a moment, he taught school in the Charlotte Mecklenburg school system. Soon, his law enforcement expertise led him to become a supervisor in the security department of the NBA. He thoroughly enjoyed attending many NBA games and NBA All-Star weekends. However, Scott’s most favored recreational activity (outside of football, of course) was golf. As soon as the temperature hit anything above 45 0 , Scott was on the range or the course. One day, his daughter called him when he was golfing. She said, “Daddy, it’s raining down there!” He calmly replied, “It never rains on the golf course.” He played golf courses up and down the East Coast and played in many golf tournaments where his teams placed and won many awards. There are so many wonderful memories we will cherish about Scott- his impeccable style of dress and grooming from head to toe… his subtle yet hilarious quick-wit that always included a touch of wisdom… his love of his alma mater, Livingstone College. But what we will remember the most is Scott’s love for his family and friends. If anyone needed anything, Scott would do everything in his power to make sure their needs were met. Inside that strong, cool exterior was the biggest heart. He never thought twice about being there for those whom he loved. Scott was preceded in death by his mother, Ida Mae Perkins Love, and his son, Maury O. Holt. Scott leaves to cherish his life and live his legacy- his devoted and loving wife, Louise, his children, Dr. Kelvin (Monique), Kenneth (Brandi), Charles (Erica), Kimberly (John), and Produs (Marian); grandchildren Kelimae, Kaleb, Mercedes, Jaida, Charles, Jr., Nevaeh, Mekhi, Kenneth, Jr., McKenzie, John, and Joshua; loyal and loving cousins Kim “Fuji” and Merci; brother-in-law Julius; four amazing great grandchildren, and a host of relatives and friends.
