Madera civic and education advocate, Herman Perez, passed away last Thursday after a two month illness. He was 75.
Perez spent the better part of the past three decades leading Madera in a number of ways.
“I was working my way to the coast, and I tell people my car broke down in Madera, and I haven’t left,” Perez said in a 2024 interview. “I really liked Madera. Madera and my hometown, Hanford, are both the same sized town with the same demographics. Madera was very welcoming to me.”
