Patrick McCree Pierson, Sr.

Patrick (Pat) McCree Pierson Sr., 79, of Austin, Texas departed to be with the Lord Jesus Christ Thursday, November 14, 2019 after a valiant 2 year battle with Larynx cancer. He endured many treatments and surgeries over the past 2 years, never losing his love and faith in the Lord, sense of humor, concern for others and an “auditors” attention to the details of his treatment. He truly demonstrated his faith in the Lord and passed his final test with grace; fulfilling Matthew 25:23, “well done my good and faithful servant”.

Pat was born March 17, 1940 in Beaumont, Texas to Thomas H. Pierson and Juanita McCree Pierson, and had been a residence of Austin and the surrounding area since 1985. After graduating from Lamar University, Pat pursued his career and entrepreneur spirit by starting and running several businesses in the Energy and Financial sectors. These endeavors spanned 50 years in Houston and Austin, with his final company, Financial Corporation of America, still thriving today. Along the way he developed lifelong friends and mentored so many in business and coaching sports; leaving a legacy to all who knew him over 3 generations.

More important to Pat however was his spiritual life and legacy that set the stage for not only his life but that of his entire family. After retiring in Horseshoe Bay, Texas in the early 2000’s, Pat helped found Horseshoe Bay Bible Church and continued his spiritual walk at Austin Bible Church after his return to Austin in 2007. During his illness, Pat never lost faith in the Lords plan for his life and was ready for his promotion to Glory.

Pat is survived by his son, Patrick Pierson Jr and wife Suzanne of Austin, daughter Pamela D. Foley of Rockport; brother T. Conlan Pierson Sr and wife Gladys of Conroe; son-in-law, David F Pickett and wife Sherri of Austin; grandchildren Mary Orr and husband Clayton, Maggie Pickett, Patrick (Mac) Pierson III, Hannah Pickett and William Pierson all of Austin.

Pat was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 46 years, Delores Diane Pierson.

The family would also like to thank Cristina Arroyos, Tazita Lomude and the devoted nurses with Maxim Healthcare; Ruth, Mercy, Fred, Kisha, Natalie, Nicole and Gus. Words cannot express our thanks for the care, devotion and companionship you gave Pat over the past 2 years.
