Craig Pierce Obituary

Middleton - Craig Harrison Pierce, a beloved son, brother, father, and grandfather passed away on May 23rd, 2024 in Middleton, Idaho.

He was born on November 10th, 1951 in Willmar, Minnesota to loving parents Sam Edward Pierce and Evelyn Adeline Schmidt.

Craig's legacy lives on through his devoted son Casey Harrison Pierce; daughter-in-law Julie Pierce; and cherished granddaughter Ashlyn Rose Pierce. He is also survived by his sister Debra West and her husband Jerry West; brothers Bruce Pierce with wife Sherry Pierce and Toby Pierce; chosen daughter Amber Brown, chosen grandchildren Anika Brown, Addison Brown, Corey Nelsen, Tyson Sage; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

From an early age, Craig displayed exceptional talent in sports. His prowess extended to football, basketball, wrestling, and baseball where he excelled beyond measure. After graduating from high school in Minnesota where he was elected President of his senior class - a reflection of his natural leadership qualities - Craig went on to attend The University of Minnesota. There he continued to shine both academically and athletically while being elected President of his college fraternity.

Beyond the accolades that adorned Craig's life journey lay a man whose heart overflowed with love for those around him. He was known for his infectious laughter that could light up any room he entered. His kindness knew no bounds as he always made time for others regardless of the circumstances.

To honor Craig's wishes a Celebration of Life was held on Thursday, June 20, 2024 at The Heritage Social Club in Boise, Idaho.

In this time of sorrow may we find solace knowing that Craig's spirit will forever live within our hearts. Though he has departed from this world too soon, let us take comfort in the memories and laughter we shared with him - memories that will continue to bring joy even amidst our grief.
