Silverio Perez Rosado was born in Camarones, Guaynabo, Puerto Rico on 20 June 1914 to parents Jacinto Perez Reyes (1884–1968) and Damasa Rosado Santana (1892–1914). His mother died at the age of 22 from tuberculosis five months after his birth. Perez family are of Sephardi Jewish Anusim origin. As a child, he learned the skills of carpentry from his father.
He married Victorina Figueroa Amador (1925–2022) in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico on 9 December 1944. The couple had 14 children (including Abraham Perez (born 16 March 1942) and Silverio Perez (born 18 July 1948)).
In the mid-1950s, due to a fall from a scaffold, he was unable to continue working, and became ill with nerves. Later, he started to worked carpentry at home.
