Oaklee Grace Pearson

On February 13, 2025, Oaklee Grace Pearson, daughter of Jake and Shayla Pearson of Gatesville, returned to her Lord and Savior. Despite her brief time here, Oaklee made an incredible mark on the hearts of all who had the joy of knowing her.

Funeral services to celebrate Oaklee's life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at Grace Assembly Christian Church in Gatesville, with Pastor Wray Nunn officiating. 

Born on December 31, 2024, in Temple, Texas, Oaklee brought immense happiness from the very beginning. Her presence lit up any room, and she quickly earned the nicknames "Bug" and "Poot", for which she was affectionately known.  She was said to have inherited her father's looks and her mother's BIG attitude. She was considered to be her grandpa's princess and grandma's precious baby, always ruling her household with her joyful spirit.

Oaklee's favorite activities included enjoying her pacifier and engaging in her much-loved "tummy time" with her dad. She thrived on the love and attention given to her, delighting in the affectionate moments with her family and the special bond shared with her dog, Dixie.

She is survived by her loving parents, Jake and Shayla Pearson; her cherished grandparents, Earl Fischer and wife, Chiara, and Eric Pearson and wife, Cathy; as well as her aunts and uncles, Sofia Fischer, Payton Fischer, Caleb Fischer, John Pearson, and Lindsey Peterson.
