Edward Pierson Obituary
December 22,1966 - October 14, 2025
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Eddie Pierson, a loving husband and father. Eddie passed away at the age of 58 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Eddie was known for his cooking and grilling skills and his joy of pitting turkeys every Thanksgiving for family and friends. Eddie loved sports; playing, watching and coaching. He was especially passionate about softball where he shared his love of the game with many.
He is survived by his wife, Janet; his children, Jaclyn and Jacob, and his beloved pets, Aria and Zoey. Along with his father, Oscar Pierson Sr., and siblings: John, Michael, Roxanne, Erik and Melissa.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Margie and brother, Oscar Jr., as well as his in-laws, Kirk and Diane.
