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.
Yep.
Why does CFA have to be characterized by the Gaystream Media as “embroiled” in a public relations fiasco? CFA doesn’t need to do ANYTHING. It’s the activist homosexuals who are going to have to change THEIR minds.
You said it.
My Philadelphia mom marriage a southern man from Texas and was transplanted down here. She was taken aback by the custom, but loved it. Much nicer than flowers.
HaHa! I’m 02 deprived. Grammer and spelling first to go. Not kidding
Enjoyed dining with huge crowd inside their only restaurant near Harrisburg PA today. Cars outside “surrounded” the drive through lane and went beyond the property. Great food,great employees and happy kids running around in stocking feet waiting to go back in the play area. God is good.
Their website has detailed nutritional info. Very helpful. Checked it out yesterday. chick-fil-a.com
Almost makes you want to look forward to the passing away of another saint in the church. ;-)
If things were reversed and a company was getting grief because the owner supported gay marriage, and Republican mayors were threatening to ban them from their cities, does anyone doubt that the headline would say “Beleagured Black public relations officer hounded by right wingers.....” or some such thing?
Oooo - good tag
(ENVY IS JUST PASSIVE, LAZY GREED)
It is sad that we live in times when this thought is the first thought that comes to mind when reading this headline. The proper noun, Breitbart, is now a verb.
They have char-grilled chicken and chicken club, along with chicken salad.
They have grilled chicken/chicken club and chicken salad sandwiches. Wraps, salads and kid’s meal with grilled nuggets as well as fruit salad.
We still pull off the side of the road when a funeral progression passes by.
Chick-fil-a will not have to do a thing we respect our families and the dead down here. May GOD Bless you, Seahawkfan with a trip to the south.
We are pros at wedding and funeral food down here.
You are right kalee and dont take anything but homemade to a family reuion either.
Support Chick-fil-A for their support of traditional marriage by patronizing your local Chick-fil-A on August 1st! It will be the perfect day for chicken nuggets!
It was a joke and I’ve lived in Texas for the past four years.
Yes, lol.
I have lived away from Georgia twice and the first thing I wanted when I came home(not counting my granny's potato soup) was a chick-fli-a.
