Roger Pierce
Roger L. Pierce, 68, of Augusta was called home to his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, with his family at his side.
Roger, the oldest of 3 siblings was born Nov. 2, 1947 in Eau Claire to Roland and Jula (Toycen/Nelson) Pierce. He grew up in New Auburn and spent most of his adult life in Augusta. Roger enjoyed the outdoors, nature, fishing, hunting and auctions. He especially enjoyed his fishing trips to Canada with family and friends. One of the highlights of his life was hunting caribou in Alaska with Tim Herrick. He enjoyed the yearly deer hunt with family and friends, and when he could no longer hunt he still maintained an interest in how everyone else did.
Roger is survived by his brother, John (Charlene) Pierce of Osseo; sister, Marlene (Ronald) Onstad of Strum; niece, Nicole (Mike) Jessick and their son Rylan of Stanley; nephew, Derek (Danielle) Pierce and their daughter Sophia of Watertown; and also his beloved dog and best friend Milkshake.
Visitation will be from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Monday at the Anderson Funeral Home in Augusta, with services at 11:00 a.m. Monday at the funeral home. Burial will be at 2:30 p.m. Monday in the Zion Cemetery in Sand Creek, WI.
A special thank you to Roger’s friends and neighbors, Dick Price and family, Barb Balliett and Bob Ives for all the care, help and kindnesses given. We would also like to thank his doctors, Dr. Jalil and Dr. Caprusso, their staff and the nursing staff at Sacred Heart Hospital.
