It is impossible to describe the impact that Pierce English had in his 19 years on earth. Words that come to mind include fearless, exuberant, faithful, relentless, and unfailingly kind.

Pierce was a free spirit with an energy level that never lagged, and a smile that no one will ever forget. He rushed in wherever he was needed by whoever needed him. He was beloved by his friends, admired by his acquaintances, and unforgettable to everyone he met.

Pierce always looked for the best in others and wasn’t shy about celebrating them. He was a quiet hero to the hundreds of children he coached in swimming and cheered on from the side of the pool. Most importantly, he pursued God in his own way, not giving up until he found Him. Pierce was a man of great faith.

Pierce’s life and legacy are treasured by his parents, Shannon and Timothy English; his sister Kristyne and brother-in-law Kyle Brown; his brother Braidon; his brother Leo, sister-in-law Bireet, and much anticipated first niece, Michelle Elizabeth Almony; his grandparents Shirley and Gene Wyatt; grandmother Judy English; aunt Gena and uncle Thomas Wall; uncles Robert English, Richard English, and Tyler Wyatt; and cousins Laura, Greg, Brianna, Amy, and Nick.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Richard English, and by beloved family friend Gene Cummins.
