Pierce White Obituary

Pierce White

New London - If Love could have kept you here, you would have lived forever. You were my first true love and made me a mom. Through tough times and good times, I could have never asked for a better son and friend. I am truly proud to call you my son.

With deepest sorrow, we announce that Pierce Wade White, forever 16, our beloved son, brother, family member and friend passed away suddenly on Saturday, May 2nd, 2020 in a car accident.

He was a kind gentle young man with an old soul. He had a way of making people smile, laugh, and pick people up when they are down. If he wasn't reading, he was playing video games, camping with family and friends, playing with electronics and boating. His favorite holiday was Halloween with scaring his friends, haunted houses, and helping family friends' kids enjoying the holiday as he did. He liked to fix things and tinker with cars with his dad Josh, and liked to go Jeeping with friends which inspired him to have aspirations to be in the Airforce to become a mechanic. He was a wonderful young man who everyone loved and misses. He made an impact on people in the smallest places, and words like genuine and warm hearted are how people describe him.

He's deeply missed by his mom and step dad: Shanna and Josh Brewer; father: Carey (Michelle) White; siblings: Olivia Brewer, Carrington White, Walker (Annel) White, Laney White, Brinley White; step brothers: Reiley and Mason Tyler; grandparents: Debra and Steven Zenisek, Debbie and James Brewer, Sue and Ed Frost; aunts and uncles: Ryan Zenisek, Lindsey and Peter Van Beek, Jamie and Adam Halder, Sarah and Paul Abel, Mike Frost, Jen Fahser, Kevin Spegil, and Andre Foster and many more beloved friends and family.

A special thank you to Mark Budner and Steve Elliot, the New London Fire Department, Waupaca County Sheriff's Department and all responders involved with helping with the response.

A Celebration of Life for Pierce will be held at a date to be determined.

I did not know this Pierce White or his family. I came across this obituary when looking for a different Pierce White of Nebraska's obituary. I am struck by how much they had in common. I hope they've met in heaven. Heartfelt sympathies to those who knew and loved this young guy.

Hi I just want to say I met pierce with a bunch of other friends I felt close to him and was amazing to call him my friend and when we hung out at the trampoline park it was great and we planned to do more things after this pandemic was over but I never knew that he would be gone just like that

Pierce was such an amazing person, he was this funny guy. Acted so weird xD sometimes, like eating the package of the hot pockets he'd buy while we worked. I remember he brought me home and we were jamming out to Falling by Trevor Daniel, the bass booming and the volume up all the way. Something was wrong with his car so he couldn't back out of my driveway so he tried driving in a circle but got stuck in the snow. We sat there laughing our butts off while waiting for my grandpa to come and pull him out, then when he actually got unstuck from the snow, he got stuck in the mud xD and my grandpa had to pull him out again. Even though I only knew him him 5 months, he made an impact in my life, his dare devil unique spirit showed me that you need to live life to the fullest. He definitely did that, and now he's going to knock God off his feet with all of his jokes and tricks. You are going to be missed Pierce, and I hope you are watching over all of us, love ya man. Fly High.

What a tragedy to lose a son at such a young age. We are not promised another day, but don't expect our loved ones to die from a tragic vehicle accident. Thoughts and prayers to all of Pierce's family and friends. Remember all the wonderful memories all of you shared together. He is with you in Spirit everyday until you meet again. God Bless all of you ~~

This is how bereaved parents feel

Sandy and I are truly sorry for you lose. I never had the opportunity to meet Pierce, but everything i see and hear makes me wish I had the chance to meet such an exceptional young man.
He and your family will be in our prayers and if there is anything we can do please don't hesitate, we're right next door.
