Russell Pearce Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Fieser Funeral Home from Jan. 5 to Jan. 6, 2026.
Pearce, Russell D. Jr. "Bo" entered into rest on Tuesday, December 30, 2025 at the age of 73 years, 3 months and 2 days. Sunday, September 28, 1952 to the late Russell Sr. and Thelma Pearce (nee McAllister) in St. Louis, Missouri. Beloved husband of Peggy L. Pearce (nee Phillips) for 46 years. Loving father of Kelly (Chris) Williams and Dan (LeAnn) Pearce. Dear brother of Wilma Jean Stairs, the late Janet Pearce and Keith Pearce. Proud grandfather of Harper Williams, Julia Pearce, Audrey Pearce and Abigail Pearce. Our dear father-in-law, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend. Russell cherished the time spent with his family, especially his beloved grandchildren. He was known for turning every family vacation into an adventure, often taking "shortcuts" to the destination while making lasting memories fishing and playing games with his grandkids. Family gatherings were filled with laughter, whether it was enjoying a game of Texas Hold'em, visiting the casino, or embarking on adventures with close friends. Russell could often be found in his garage, working on projects, always building or fixing things for his children and grandchildren. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering dedication to his loved ones made him truly one of a kind. Russell will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his memory will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends. Interment: Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Funeral procession departing Fieser Funeral Home Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.
