Pierce Norman Jay Beach, 15

In the early morning hours of June 12, 2015, Pierce Norman Jay Beach “was called home to fly with the angels." His grandfather Norman Beach and best friend Danny Trenk were waiting to meet him with open arms.

Pierce was born on March 17, 2000 — St. Patrick’s Day. He was an angel walking among us here on earth. He had an enchanting smile that could light up the midnight sky. He had a musical, infectious laugh — oh, how we will miss it.

His big sister Alyssa was so proud. They always had a special bond. His sister Kylee was the apple of his eye. Pierce taught his brother Chase anything he could. And he and his brother Jade were into playing video games.

Pierce had a heart as big as the seas and solid gold. He loved the outdoors, dirt biking, four-wheeling, driving anything that had a motor and sledding. He was mechanically inclined and could fix anything with wheels and a motor. At 15, his favorite activity was hanging out with friends and his extended family. He had so much love to give and so many loved him.

“We love you to the moon and back, Pierce, and miss you every minute of every day.”

Pierce is survived by his parents, Robin Lee Fox Croskrey and Michael Martin Beach; grandparents, Bobbie K. Beach, and Cynthia and Colby Smith; siblings, Alyssa and Jade Beach and Chase and Kylee Snook; stepparents, Keith Croskrey and Stephanie Sager; and stepsiblings, Kyle and Kesley, and Vanessa and Nicholas.

“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.”
