Percy was born on November 29, 1952, to Roque and Edith Jarillo in Iloilo, Philippines. He graduated from the University of Iloilo with a degree in Bachelor’s of Science in Commerce.

He relocated with his family from the Philippines to the United States in 1997, and soon began working in the casinos, until his early retirement from Showboat’s closing in 2014. He loved walking and relaxing with his dog companions, Sammy and Moochi, as well as, playing and spending time with his granddaughter, Mary Lillian “Lilly” Zamudio, who was the absolute light of his life. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Cora; their children, Maria Roca Camille Zamudio (Manuel) and Jen Carl “JC”; his loving granddaughter, Lilly; his brothers, Roque Jr. (Ester) and Winnie (Maybelle); and many cousins, nephews, and nieces.
