Homer Bierwirth

Homer Bierwirth, 74, of Payson, Az, passed away on January 29, 2007. Homer Bierwirth, 74, began his journey down the trail ahead that stretches toward the Great Divide, January 29, 2007 following heart failure. He was born in Connecticut, moved to Phoenix at an early age, and spent most of his life as a Sunnyslope resident. He served in the U.S. Navy aboard the Midway from 1952-1956. After retiring from Pitney Bowes, he owned his own woodworking business. Many years of camping, fishing, and horseback riding in the Rim Country led to his lifelong dream of becoming a full-time Payson resident two months ago. This unique Arizona Cowboy will be deeply missed, loved, and forever in our hearts. The family extends our gratitude to the many friends who were a part of his life, share in our grief, and have extended prayer and support. He is survived by his Wife Laura; Daughters Cory Bierwirth-Klein (Fred, Taylor, Connor), Angie Rogers (Chuck, Chuckie, Bethany), Tracy Reber (David); Step-sons Joseph Pelliccio (Angie, Bailey), Dominic Peliccio. Preceded in death by his father Charles, his mother Marion, and beloved brother Adrian (Abe). Thank you Messinger Payson Mortuary for handling private cremation according to his wishes. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in his name to the Payson Humane Society, P.O.Box 242, Payson, AZ 85547 and/or 4-H Clubs of Rim Country P.O.Box 2844, Payson, AZ 85547
