Burton Pierce Obituary
October 3, 1956 - February 12, 2019
Resident of Los Gatos
Burton "Michael" Pierce was born on October 3, 1956. He passed away peacefully after a sudden and fierce battle with cancer, on the early, cold morning of February 12, 2019. He was surrounded by his twin sister Robin and his caregiver, Virginia. He was predeceased by his father, Burton Mark Pierce, who passed away November, 2018. He is survived by his two sons, Michael Jr. and Adam, his loving mother, Rosemary P. Pierce, his three sisters, Linda, Debbie, and Robin and his younger brother Bart.
Michael was a sweet, somewhat shy, loving, sensitive man who enjoyed gardening, music, animals, especially birds and tinkering with electronics. The family and friends he considered close will always hold a piece of him in their heart.
Memorial service will be held at Darling Fischer on Sunday, February 24th at 1:30pm.
