Life story

Austin Brad'Lee Pierce, age 18, passed away Saturday, April 16, 2022. He was born October 7, 2003, to Brad & Sandra Pierce in Little Rock, Arkansas.

He was predeceased by his maternal great grandparents, Arthur & Verna Schneider; maternal grandparents Larry & Susan Dugan; paternal grandfather, Bill Pierce & step grandfather, Darrell Meyer.

Austin was our firstborn. He was such a happy baby. I always told him he was so perfect that we had to have two more. Austin was a loving & caring brother to Aiden & Alexei. He enjoyed spending time with them fishing. Austin always tried to look on the bright side of things & never wanted anyone to be sad. He was a caring & bright young man with a bright future planned. He excelled at many things including art, welding & customizing cars. He took great pride in restoring his great grandfather's Chevy pickup truck with his dad. He was dedicated to his job at Cotija’s where he had been employed for three & a half years.

Austin will forever live in our hearts. Our beautiful, sweet, kindhearted boy with that great smile.
