Pierce was a loving, hardworking, and loyal Christian. He was always helping people in need and never wanting recognition for any of it. If you had the pleasure of knowing him, you know how pure in heart he was. Pierce was born and raised in Texas where he started work as a mechanic. He joined the Army in January of 1956 and worked as a Supply Sergeant. Upon leaving the Army, he went to work as a longshoreman on the docks of Galveston Island. He started working full time at a bank and started college in 1967. By 1981 he was the President of SouthTrust Bank where he stayed until he retired in 1994. He was a chairman of United Way, Dothan Area Chamber, as well as serving the Kiwanis Club, Exchange Club, and Rotary Club.

There will be a private family memorial at a later date.

"And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and a willing mind, for the Lord searches every thought and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever." 1 Chronicles 28:9 There will be a private family memorial at a later date.
