Dan worked for Blue Cross/Blue Shield before becoming self-employed, partnering in Collegiate K-9 attire and later landscaping with his son before retirement.
Danny loved baseball at every level, as a kid playing himself, coaching little league for his son, traveling all over Indiana cheering his grandson, Jake, playing through the years, or his journeys to multiple states watching the Majors with his wife, who became an enthusiast as well.
What really brought DJ joy in his life was being Papaw, adored by all 11 grands and greats, it was truly magical to watch. The only thing that may have paralleled that adoration would be the love he shared with his darling wife, Kate. Dancing in the living room celebrating the beautiful life they created over the decades.
Dan "Papaw" Pierce is survived by so many who he loved dearly, including 7 siblings, his wife of almost 49 years, Kathleen (O’Hara) Pierce, his two children Andrew Pierce(Melissa), Rebecca Toney(Joshua), 6 grandchildren, Jacob Williams(Allison), Dominic Pierce, Jeremy Williams(Kenzee), Jameson Toney(Stephanie), Aidan Pierce, Teagan Pierce, and his gen 4 super buddies Laila, Dallas, Dakota, Preston and Mya.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother.
Visitation for Dan Pierce will be held Saturday, June 11, from 9am to 11am at Little Flower Church, 4720 E 13th St., 11am Mass to follow.
In lieu of flowers, Danny would prefer donations for Little Flower School tuition assistance program in memory of Dan Pierce Little Flower School 1401 N Bosart Ave. 46201
