We are sorry and sad to hear of Gary's passing, but glad he is in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Are prayers are with you Rhonda as you continue to care for your sweet mom.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

What a blessing to have Gary and Glenda Pearce for our neighbors. If it hadn't been for Mr Pearce fixing my water well and lawn mowers during my husbands 2 deployments overseas, I wouldn't have had a drop of water. Thank the Lord for his and Glenda's unselfish love and concern. Thank you Pearce family for sharing your wonderful parents!

I met Gary while at Coquina also. His smile always made me feel better, even when I'd had a disagreement with my computer!

My deepest condolences to the entire Pearce family. I grew up playing baseball and going to school with Clellan and Kevin. I have known the family for many years. Mr. Pearce was one of the nicest person I have ever met. He was even our coach many times over the years. He was a great coach and he taught us so much about baseball and sportsmanship. One special memory I have is the summer after we graduated high school we were not able to play American Legion ball so he was able to have us form a team of both MHS and LHS ex players and he coached us. That was one of the most fun seasons I ever had playing baseball. He is a very special person and will be deeply missed. Sincerely Errol Winkler

We are deeply sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

I remember Gary from our Coquina Oil days and as a good friend of my dad. Gary was always smiling and the only one that understood this new IT world! He was a gentle man that was a friend to all that met him. He will be missed.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
