Shawn Pierce Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 27, 2024.
Shawn Elton Pierce, age 47, of Dallas, GA, passed away on August 28, 2024. Born on November 12, 1976 in Burlington, VT to loving parents Steven E. and Cheryl Pierce of The Villages, FL. Shawn touched many lives as a devoted son, brother, father, and friend. His love for trivia, talent in the kitchen, and passion for cooking were hallmarks of his vibrant personality.

After graduating from North Cobb High School, Shawn attended Chattahoochee Tech Culinary Arts, where he honed his skills as a chef. Over the past 30 years, he fed countless members of his community, and he will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Shawn is survived by his children, Joseph E. Pierce, Aidan Pierce, Lorilee Pierce, Tyler Elletson who were the lights of his life. Shawn's memory will also be cherished by his brother, Scott E. Pierce (Heather) of Knoxville, TN; his sister, Stacey E. Andrews (Scott) of Bethlehem, GA; and his nieces and nephews, Chloe, Emma, Mason Pierce and Julian, Caleb, and Peyton Owen.

Shawn's love for his family, his humor, and his culinary talent will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A private funeral will be held at a later date.

I will always remember playing at the Colchester house. The zip line in the backyard, his Sheltie, bubble gum
Ice cream and butter rum pancakes...and we played Star Wars ALL THE TIME. Though we haven´t stayed in touch, he was a huge part of my childhood and I´ll always remember that in my heart.
