It was a pleasure meeting and working with James in our capacity as Florida Ridercoaches for the Florida Safety Council here in Melbourne. We taught a number of classes together and he was always interested in the welfare of the class participants, not only during class but how they conducted themselves on two wheels. I'm glad I had the opportunity to attend the memorial service in Titusville today, December 3, 2011. A prayer for peace for the family members. Jim will be missed, but I know I'll see him in eternity.

My heart has been heavy all day after reading of Jim's passing in my Florida newpaper this morning. I have known Jim since he worked vice with the TPD. He was a dear man and although I have not seen him in several years I am saddened he is no longer physically with us. RIP, my dear friend - you almost made it to the Marine Corps birthday!

If I would ever be given the duty of re-writing the dictionary, when it came time to define the words, gentleman, honesty, friendly, helpful, dedicated and loyal I'd simple display a picture of Jim Pierce in that space.
Rest in The Glory Place my good friend, bask in the glow of God's face and be at peace in His loving arms.

I knew Jim for a LONG time through my career at the Sheriff's Office. He always had a smile to share and knew how to make lemonade out of lemons!! His smile will be missed along with his jovial demeanor that uplifted everyone!

My heartfelt condolences go out to the family of Jim. Jim was one of the two guys that got me in to law enforcement and i will never forget all that he did for me. He took me in, let me live at his house, got me in to the academy and basically took care of me when i was a long way from home. I am upset with myself that I rarely took the time to see Jim because we all got busy. he was one of my favorite people to be around. god bless, Bob "Bobby" Blovsky

Marion, there is no way to measure how much Jim will be missed. The hundreds of people he touched as a friend and the thousands he touched during his public service. Jim dedicated many years to the people of central Florida as a police officer with Apoka and Titusville Police Depts. Then almost 30 years with the Brevard Co. Sheriff's Office. In his retirement dedicated his life and a great deal of time honoring the memory of those who gave all for their citizens. He was a mentor to many and even a hero to some, but he was a very dear friend to me and I will truly miss him. Jim's legacy will live on even after many of us have jointed him.

Big Jim Policeman, we will miss you so much. All the laughs we had during the Daytona Racing years. Thanks for watching over me while I attended the police academy in Orlando. It was a wonderful time in my life, and you made that happen. God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jim and I go back to the late 6o's when I met him. We worked and played together. Jim was a very close friend. You couldn't ask for a better friend than Jim. Jim will always be in my thoughts and has left a mark in my life forever. You have left us on earth, but you will always be here in spirit...

Having worked closely with Jim at the Brevard County Sheriff's Department, I can attest to his sense of humor and his dedication to duty. His assignment with the DEA was extremely productive and proved his courage, resourcefulness and versatility. He is one of the few human beings I will actually miss.
