Christopher Scott Pierce

March 19, 1980 ~ February 7, 2019
Christopher Scott Pierce, age 38 of Castle Shannon, Pennsylvania lost his battle with cancer on Thursday, February 7, 2019 at St. Claire Hospital in Pittsburgh while surrounded by his family. Chris was the son of Dr. Robert and Katherine (Cox) Pierce.
A 1998 graduate of Notre Dame Cathedral Latin High School, Chris went on to attend Point Park University in Pittsburgh. There he studied film and screenwriting, following his long-held passion for movies and character development. As an employee of Best Buy, Chris worked on the Geek Squad, leveraging his natural talent for computers and consumer electronics. He was chosen by Best Buy to introduce technology to underprivileged students in Pittsburgh and often volunteered his time. Christopher closely followed Cleveland sports, especially the Indians. He always looked forward to attending the home opener, playoff and World Series games with his father. He collected Cleveland sports and movie memorabilia. He shared his love of sports, games and movies with many of his friends.
He is survived by his parents: Dr. Robert and Katherine Pierce; his brother Dr. Johnathan (Dr. Danielle) Pierce, sister Katie Pierce, niece Evie and godson nephew Lucas.
A Memorial Service to celebrate Chris’ life will be held on at 11:00 am on Saturday, March 30 at the Painesville United Methodist Church, 71 North Park Place in Painesville. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be sent to the American Lung Association, Cleveland Indian’s Charities, or the Painesville United Methodist Church Food Bank.

As one of Chris’s former teachers, I remember him as a kind and thoughtful person and a serious student. I know he grew into a man with strong character and lived his life with integrity and compassion for others. His life was far too short, but I’m sure he touched many lives and left this world a better place. I am thinking about your family and wishing you much comfort in the days to come. I hope it will ease your sorrow to know that so many are praying for you and caring about you. God be with you all. Pam Richmann
