MILFORD, N.J. AND ELLSWORTH
Kevin A. Pearce, 56, of Milford, N.J., and Ellsworth, died suddenly at home on Oct. 20, 2017.
Kevin was a devoted and loving husband to his wife of 27 years, Pamela (Joest) Pearce. Together, they have two children, Lilly and Jack, whom Kevin deeply loved.
Born on Sept. 14, 1961, Kevin was a generous and selfless individual who went on frequent mission trips to Guatemala to deliver much-needed hands-on support to a vital dental-care program. He was also a thoughtful and caring friend to many. A skilled craftsman, Kevin completed countless woodworking projects over the years, including birdhouses, furniture, and scenery for the local school’s theater productions.
Above all, Kevin adored spending time with his wife and children, with whom he was incredibly close. The family especially loved traveling together and spending time at their cabin in Maine.
Kevin is survived by his parents, Dorothy and Kenneth Pearce, his sisters, Lynn and Jann, and Jann’s husband, Michael. On his wife’s side, he is survived by his siblings-in-law, Linda Joest, George and Laureen Joest, and Christian and Diane Joest. He was preceded in death by his brother, Kirk, and his brother-in-law, Roland Marchand.
Private services were held for family and friends. The family suggests that those who wish to memorialize Kevin make donations to “Friends of San Lucas C/O Smiles for San Lucas” and mail them to Dr. Trish Gardner, 97 Sky Manor Road, Pittstown, NJ 08867.
