Dr. Will Daroya Peralta

Dr. Wilbur Daroya Peralta passed away on July 7, 2025 at the age of 61, in Edmond, Oklahoma. Will lived a life of service to others, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in the U. S. Air Force after 25 years honorably serving as an internal medicine physician. After retirement from the military he continued working in order to use his skills and medical knowledge to help others. His military and professional accomplishments are too numerous to list, but his work lives on in the countless lives he touched along the way.

In recent years, Will became very involved in the ukulele community. He would spend time making music and memories with friends that shared the Aloha spirit that he held so dear from his time living in Hawaii.

Will had a huge heart. He supported and took care of others, many times before himself. Countless friends and family have shared stories of how he supported them in their time of need. Will both loved and was loved deeply by those fortunate enough to know him. He will be missed, and remembered with love and gratitude. His impact on this world was profound, and his loss, far too soon, leaves a hole in so many hearts. May we all fill that hole and honor his memory by continuing his life of service and caring for others, in his name.

Will is survived by his wife Jessica, his children Dillon, Sydney, Hannah, Sarah, Alexis, Erica, Natalia and Nathan, his brothers Freddie (wife Michelle) and Henry (wife Gina), his sister Jane, his mother Anita, as well as many friends that were as close as family. He was preceded in death by his father Francisco.

Visitation will be on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 from 10:30am - 11:30am in Akes Family's "Chapel Of the Chimes" Riverside, California.

Funeral Service will follow at 11:30 am. Graveside Service will be at Riverside National Cemetery at 2:00pm.
