A special sister-in-law Loretta Stevens; nephew John Stevens, II; nieces Tonisha Pickney, Morrisa Stevens and Naomi Stevens.

Brother Pierce was preceded in death by his wife, Adoris Atkinson Pierce; mother and father, Bertha Bradley Pierce and Izell Pierce; mother-in-law, Cassie Atkinson Exum and father-in-law, Johnny Stevens; brothers Willie Herbert Pierce and Lucas Pierce, sister-in-law Heloise Pierce, brother-in-law John Gary Stevens, sons Bobby and William Atkinson, grandson Jabari Bell and niece Charlene Tyler.

Brother Pierce was the foreman for Rebarco Steel Construction Company for over 40 years and retired to take care of Mother Pierce due to her declining health. Because of his love for the outdoors, he continued gardening and taking care of all his family’s needs until his health began to fail in 2015.

Brother Pierce was known as a quiet man of great strength both spiritually and physically. He loved his family dearly; and most of all he loved the Lord. His favorite parts of the Bible were the New Testament Epistles of Paul which he would talk about for hours with his family.

Brother Pierce is loved greatly and will be missed dearly by his family, friends and church members; but we know that he has gone home to be with the Lord.

Memorial Services for Mr. Pierce will be held Saturday June 30, 2018 at Church of The Lord Jesus Christ Apostolic Faith, 514 E. Walnut St Wilson, NC beginning at 12:30 pm.
