Bernard Leroy

Pierson

Bernard (Bernie) Pierson, 66, of Guilford, IN passed away Saturday, January 11, 2020. Bernie enjoyed riding his full-dress interstate Harley and loved playing rock and roll on his guitar. He was a huge fan of guitarist Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton and loved to listen to them play. Bernie also enjoyed watching and playing golf, watching comedy shows like Ridiculousness, would always record Deadliest Catch to watch later, and was a big fan Barrett Jackson's Car Auctions. Bernie was a truck driver and most recently worked for Con-Way Freight. He loved to spend time with his grandkids, Grayson, William, and Peyton, and they especially looked forward to taking rides on the 4-wheelers and listening to Grandpa play his guitar. He also loved to spoil his grand-dogs, Stormy, Diesel, Dozer, Dixie, and Dakota for whom he would buy treats such as hotdogs and malted milk balls. To satisfy his cravings, Bernie's family knew cheese crowns, Mounds and at least a weekly dose of Skyline would make him happy.
Bernie will be deeply missed by his best friend and domestic partner Janice True, his children Kyle (Nicole) Pierson of Guilford, Jamie (Nathan Ruggles) Pierson of Pittsburgh, Kyle & Jamie's mother Diane Ohmer Pierson, grandchildren Grayson Pierson and William & Peyton VansArdale, and sisters Linda Lipps and Carol Hughes. He is preceded in death by siblings Melvin & Kenny Pierson, and Kathy Bledsoe.
A celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, January 15 from 5:00 – 7:00pm at Andres-Wuestefeld Funeral Home. Memorials can be made to Family Wishes. Please visit www.andres-wuestefeldfh.com to sign the guest book and offer condolences.
