Piercen was more than just a son, nephew, cousin, teammate, or friend—he was a beacon of compassion, a soul wise beyond his years, with a heart full of generosity, empathy, and humor.

But even in this sorrow, there is one undeniable truth: Piercen’s love did not end with his life. His spirit lives on in every life he touched. In the stories his friends will tell. In the lessons he unknowingly taught. In the kindnesses he extended without hesitation. In the courage he inspired.
