Jackie Pierce

Mr. Jackie Pierce, born February 28, 1950, in Roxboro, NC, peacefully entered eternal rest on Sunday, May 31, 2026. He was the beloved son of Unice Pierce and Merritt Wilkerson, and his life was marked by dedication, generosity, and a deep love for family.

Jackie devoted 30 years of service to Goodyear Tire and Rubber in Danville, VA, where he worked as a supervisor specializing in the building of aircraft tires. He took great pride in his craft and in the team, he guided throughout his career.

Jackie truly loved to entertain, filling his home with warmth, laughter, and good company. He also found joy and peace working in the yard, tending to the land with the same care he showed the people in his life. His presence, humor, and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Celia Uvvone Pierce; his son, Fredrick Lemont Pierce; and his cherished grandchildren, Camren Uvonne-Elizabeth Pierce and Carter Lamont Pierce.
