SAN JOSE, Calif. - Longtime Earthquakes season ticket holder Dan Perez was a simple man: He loved his family, he was a pillar in the Bay Area community and he cherished the Quakes for 42 years.
Last month, Perez passed away at the age of 74 from heart disease. The organization is set to honor Dan and the entire Perez family at halftime of Sunday’s match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, an act of solidarity for one of the most loyal Quakes fans to ever live.
Perez, a Wasco native, didn’t waste any time in becoming a Quakes season ticket holder, securing a family ticket package at Spartan Stadium in the club’s inaugural season in 1974.
