Jeffery M. Pierce, 67, of Harborcreek, Pa., passed away on Tuesday, May 19, 2020.

He was born in Erie, on October 16, 1952, a son of Mary (Connolly) Pierce and the late Victor M. Pierce.

After high school graduation, Jeff began his career at GE. During his younger years, he was a volunteer fireman at the Lawrence Park Fire Department. Jeff retired from GE as a Business Liaison. He was a member of the NRA, the Slovak Club, Gem City Gun Club, and the Times Old Newsies. Jeff was also a long-time member of St. Mark the Evangelist Parish, where he volunteered as an usher and helped with various maintenance projects. After retirement, Jeff worked at St. Gregory Cemetery taking care of the lawn. Jeff enjoyed hunting, golfing, traveling with his wife, making trips to the casino, and helping everyone in the neighborhood. He was also a novice gunsmith and repairman. Most of all, Jeff enjoyed spending time with his family, friends, and grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his father, Victor M. Pierce, father-in-law, Everett Staaf, stepfather-in-law, Richard Buetikofer, mother-in-law, Patricia Brader, and several aunts and uncles.

Jeff is survived by his wife of 48 years, Kathleen (Staaf) Pierce, mother, Mary (Connolly) Pierce, children, Christina Calabrese (Michael), Jeffery Pierce II (Crystal), Nicole Pierce, Elizabeth Dylewski, and Victor Pierce (Courtney), and thirteen grandchildren, siblings, Terrance Pierce (Diane), Richard Pierce, Douglas Pierce (Ginger), Vicky Gligora (Robert), James P. Pierce, and Jennifer Brink (Dave). Several nieces, nephews, cousins, and one aunt and uncle also survive.

RIP Jeffrey M. Pierce...Jeff and I were classmates at Academy High School Class of 1970. Back then he was always fun to be with and great to talk with, etc. I got to know Jeff better through our mutual volunteer work with the Times Old Newsies. Sorry to read of his passing and sincere sympathies to his family. He will be missed by all who knew him!

Condolences,
I was so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. I worked with him for many years at GE. He brought a lot of clarity and support to the team. I always enjoyed working on a project with him because he brought new ideas to resolve any issues. We frequently discussed matters outside of work too. I appreciated his perspective on life as well as work.
