Richard John Pierce

Richard was born and raised in Merced California. Richard was full of life, he had such a beautiful heart and so much love for his family, wife, friends and anyone he met. He was an amazing artist, tattooist and his passion for skateboarding showed every time he set foot on his skateboard. He loved Jesus with all his heart and every person he met. His smile was the light of life. My son, you will be missed so very deeply by all of us. WE LOVE YOU! This is not goodbye but see you when we get to Heaven.

John 16:22 "Therefore you now have sorrow but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice and your joy no one will take away."
