Michael Pierce Obituary
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday, March 27, at Dakan Funeral Chapel, Caldwell. 459-3629.
He is survived by daughters Jennifer Penrod of Caldwell and Maci Odermott of Boise, two grandchildren Izaac and Julian, brother John Pierce of Huntington Woods, Mich., sisters Becky Jardine and Tammie Hitt of Boise, Pam Satathite of Soldotna, Alaska, and many cousins, nieces and nephews, and his companion Kathy Bennett.
He is predeceased by his father Robert Pierce and mother Sylvia Boyd.
Mike was born in Caldwell and lived in the area most of his life. Mike had a gift for art and music and played in many area bands throughout the years. Mike was a free spirit, a friend to all, and in his short time on earth, truly enjoyed himself and lived life to the fullest. He developed a mean game of golf in his later years and loved playing the game at every opportunity.
Mike will truly be missed by those who knew and loved him.
The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to the American Lung Association of Idaho, 8030 Emerald St., Suite 175, Boise, ID 83704.

Mike was a close friend of my father's and taught me to play guitar in junior high. He was a talented musician and great friend. He will be missed.

It's been a long five days since we got to say goodbye. We saw so many people at the service, but missed the one we wanted to see most, you Mikey, our buddy for so many, many years.
You are loved and won't be forgotten.

My condolences to the family and his special lady. When I first read of Mike's passing in the newspaper, I thought surely it must be someone else--not the Michael I knew, not the Michael I fell head over heels for as a teenager nearly 35 plus years ago. I will always remember him as kind, funny and never far from his guitar. The world is less bright with his passing.

My deepest sympathies for all those who feel the loss of a dear, sweet man, as I myself do. Mike was witty, talented and always ready for fun! Since the first day I met him about 7 years ago, he had my heart like so many of you. His spirit and music will be greatly missed- love you always Mike!

What a great loss. I've been so blessed to have had such a special friendship of 20 years with Mike.
I will always be so grateful that with his talent, gave my Mom "Ele" the best day of her life at her surprise B'day, 6 yrs ago. How she loved him so much, and how he loved her.
He was a good hearted man who will be missed by all so much.
Love and thoughts to Jennifer and everyone connected.

My thoughts go out to all of the family and Kathy, his wonderful companion. I met you both one night when I came to watch the Matrix play, you were both kind to me and made me feel like an old friend. Mike will be greatly missed!

Dear Pierce family, I am very sorry for your loss. I've known Mike since I was a little girl. He and my Dad have been friends since childhood and also played in many bands together. He was always very nice to me and always had a hug and a smile for me every time i've run into him over the years. He will be greatly missed by many, and remembered fondly by all. My family's hearts go out to you. Sincerely, Dawn Towery and The Towery family.

May God Bless you at this difficult time. My prayers are also with you. I did not know Michael but my daughter (16) died from complications from pneumonia in September 07. What a horrible disease. I am so sorry.
