Jarred Bruce Pearce

Jarred Bruce Pearce, of Evansville, Indiana, passed away on October 12, 2026, at the age of 46 at Deaconess Midtown Hospital. He was born on July 28, 1980, in Olney, Illinois, and grew up in Louisville, Illinois. He graduated from North Clay Community High School in 1998.

Jarred was a quiet, kind, and intelligent person with a good sense of humor and a creative mind. He had a knack for finding humor even in difficult circumstances, a quality that remained with him throughout his battle with cancer. He enjoyed gaming, both on the computer and on consoles, and had a lifelong interest in technology. Largely self-taught, he explored web development and graphic design, pursuing the things that interested him on his own terms.

Jarred was also a stoic and pragmatic person who approached his illness and mortality with realism. He understood the seriousness of his circumstances, was at peace with the possibility of death, and was willing to speak openly about it. Though not a religious man, he lived by a strong personal sense of morality and remained true to his own convictions. His practical outlook, easygoing attitude, inquisitive nature, and passion for understanding how things work, were enduring parts of who he was.

To those who knew him best, Jarred was more than his accomplishments or his struggles. He was a brother who could tease as readily as he could protect, a familiar presence throughout childhood, and someone who took pride in the people he cared about.

Jarred is survived by his two daughters, Anna and Zoey Pearce; his mother, Becky Williams (Rick Williams); his sisters, Lacy Pippin (Harold Pippin), Hayley Pearce, and Elizabeth Pearce; and his four nephews and four nieces. He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond Bruce Pearce, and his maternal grandparents, Earl and Clara Pierson, and paternal grandparents, Edwin and Berniece Pearce.

Family and friends are invited to attend a celebration of life service on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at First Church of Flora.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Chemo Buddies, an Evansville-based nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that no one facing cancer has to do so alone.
