Mr. Pierce was the Owner of Byron’s Sidewalk Raising and loved spending time with his family, friends and squirrels. He was an avid coin collector and a jokester with an infectious laugh. He also enjoyed watching the Saints and playing pool with his family and friends. He had the biggest heart and would do anything for anyone in need. After hurricane Katrina, Byron and his wife, Susan, could be seen handing out food and supplies to the “shut-ins” in the Kenner area. He will be greatly missed by many.

Mr. Pierce was preceded in death by his wife, Susan Pierce; his mother, Patsy J. Pierce; his father, Wallace J. Pierce; brother, Audney Pierce; grandparents, Henry Magnon and Florence Magnon Blum and Gilbert and Doris Pierce; and his uncle, Carol Magnon.
