Rest in Peace, Marine.
I had a stroke when I was 31.
You aren’t guaranteed another day.
Rest in peace.
Too young to go. RIP.
Prayers for his soul and the comfort of his loved ones.
Prayers up for him and his family.
Sounds like at 32 he accomplished more than many have in a lifetime.
My sister passed away from an aneurysm. She was only 38. I guess our good Lord wanted them both with Him sooner rather than later.
It sounds like he was always living life to the fullest.
Rest in peace, Marine. A brave man. “Cowards die a thousand
deaths, the VALIANT never taste of death but once.”
Semper Fi Marine
Condolences to the family and prayers for strength through the coming days.
God rest his soul and give comfort to those who loved him.
“Matt is survived by his wife, Brittney (Webster) Pearce of Jacksonville; his loving son, Jack Pearce at home; his mother, Joan Laffin of Newington; his father, James Pearce and his significant other, Karen Hayward of Windsor Locks;”
He had a wife and a significant other? Explain please.
My cousins son had the same thing. Simply dropped dead at age 33. No warning, no nothing. Devastating.
I think that the significant other belongs to his father.
“If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.”
RIP my Devil Dog brother.
Got it, apparently dad is shacking up now.
Well, it doesn’t say the dad lives with her. They might just be in a long-term relationship but not engaged, not cohabitating, and not married.
It looks like his brother also has a “significant other”. So draw whatever conclusions you will about that.
