Charles “CD” D Pierce Sr., passed away on October 17, 2026, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. CD was born on June 5, 1937, in Cameron, Oklahoma to Ernest and Delier (Thomas) Pierce.

Charles was truly “bigger than life.” He never met a stranger and loved visiting with everyone he encountered. Charles was known for his kindness, his willingness to help anyone in need, and his most infectious smile that could light up a room. He enjoyed quail hunting and took great pride in serving his country in both the United States Air Force and the United States Navy, before retiring after serving 20 years. Charles will be remembered for his generous heart, friendly spirit, and the lasting impression he made on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

CD is survived by his children, Charles D. Pierce Jr. of Mountain Home, AR, Jonathan C. Pierce and wife Janie of Fort Smith, AR, and Shauna R. Pierce and wife Holly of Mount Dora, FL.

His memory will be cherished by his eight grandchildren: Alexis Ponder, Mason Mooney, Charlie Michelle Pierce, Nathan Pierce, Chris Pierce, Ashley Pierce, Gary Ezell, and Jon Ezell; and his nine great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his brother Dennis Pierce of Fort Smith, Arkansas, along with many other relatives and loved ones.
