William (Bill) Pierce, cherished father and grandfather, passed from this life Saturday, January 25, 2025, after a very short and unexpected illness.
Born in Cooperstown, NY on September 30, 1949, to Orrin and Ione (Chamberlain) Pierce, he spent most of his life in San Diego, CA. For 40 years, he operated a successful construction business in Poway, CA. He called Clarksville, TN his home since 2018.
Bill loved fast cars and chrome. He held the record for the fastest Grand National at Carlsbad Speedway, he brought home numerous truck show awards for his 1986 Peterbilt and enjoyed cruising the backroads of San Diego County on his Harley. Those that knew him well will always remember his fiercely protective nature.
Bill is survived by his daughter, Alexis (Garrett) Mathews; his 5 grandchildren Alex, Irelynn, Britian, Jillian, and Garrett Liam; as well as his niece Noel (Dan) Welch; and nephews Bill (Kathleen) Pierce and Don Pierce. He was preceded in death by his parents Orrin and Ione Pierce, his brother Patrick Pierce, and his sister Constance Pierce.
