Dennis Pierce Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Memorial Park Funeral Home North Riverside Chapel on Sep. 14, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Mr. Dennis Edward Pierce, age 88 of Gainesville, Georgia passed away peacefully on September 13, 2025.

Dennis was born on July 29, 1937 in Hall County, Georgia to the late Edd Thomas Pierce and Martha Irene Porter Pierce. He was married to the late Louise Walden Pierce and before her passing, they spent 57 years together raising three children in the area where he had grown up.

Dennis leaned on his faith. He gave his testimony not only in words but also in song. He loved singing the old gospel hymns and could often be found at local churches, Bose machine in tow, joyfully sharing his voice and his heart wherever he was invited. He also had a love for classic cars and proudly showed them off in parades and gatherings, always happy to share his enthusiasm with others.

Dennis owned and operated many small businesses over the ears. His last venture, a pine straw business serving Gainesville and the North Georgia area, became well-known and trusted part of the community.

Dennis was most at peace outdoors. He had the heart of a pioneer, as close to the original American frontiersmen as you could ever meet. Whether he was deer hunting in the quiet woods, or simply breathing in the fresh mountain air, the wilderness was never just a past time. It was part of who he was that, same rugged, self-reliant spirit that carried over into every corner of his life.

He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Louise, his parents and several brothers and sisters.

He is survived by his daughter and sons-in-law, Pamela and Tony Fuller of Gillsville and Margaret and Stanley Cain of Murrayville; his son and daughter-in-law Eddie and Pam Pierce of Cleveland; grandchildren Hannah Fuller, Joshua Cain, Jonah Cain, Nolan Pierce, Brandy Fuller, Jason Fuller, Robbie Swain and great grandchildren Kristen, Isabelle and Gianna. Also his brother Jesse Pierce and sister Polly Chatham, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will forever cherish his memory.

Funeral Services will be held at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, September 16, 2025 in the chapel of Memorial Park Riverside with Rev. Joey Yeary and Mr. Stanley Cain officiating. Interment will follow at Springway Baptist Church Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm prior to the service on Tuesday at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Gideon's International, P.O. Box 140800, Nashville, TN 37214-0800, in honor of Dennis' lifelong love of sharing God's word.

Dennis will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on in every hymn he sang, every story he told, and every smile he left behind. Those who knew him can take comfort in knowing that while his voice is silent here, it is now lifted high in Heaven's choir.
