Keith Pearson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Biereley-Hale Funeral Home, Inc. - Madisonville on Mar. 13, 2026.
Keith Pearson, age 70, of Madisonville, passed away Thursday, March 12, 2026 at his home. He was known to many as "Big P" or "Foxy". He left behind a lifetime of memories with the people who knew and loved him. He loved the simple things in life and the outdoors. Some of his favorite times were spent at his cabin in Tellico Plains, roaming the mountains and hunting bear, deer and hogs. If you ever heard his "hog call", you know it was about the best one there ever was. He also loved being out on the water fishing from his pontoon boat on Watts Bar Lake. Whether he was in the mountains, out on the lake, or with Pam and Tess, that's where he was the happiest. He will be remembered for his love of the outdoors, his stories, and the good times he shared with his family and friends. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Hazel Pearson, brother, Gary Pearson.

Survivors, wife, Pamela Pearson, daughter and son-in-law, Tess Pearson Walls and Brannon Walls, sister, Vicki Hurst and fiancé, Dennis Butler, sister-in-law, Kathy Pearson, nieces, Cassidy and Corey Peebles, Julie Pearson, Alley and John Hutcheson, nephew, Jeremy and Regina Pearson, great-nieces, Abigail and Victoria Peebles, Ava Byrd, great-nephews, Sawyer and McCray Pearson, Hunter Hooper, Brody Hayes, aunt, Margaret Hooper.
