Donate to Richard Pierson's Memorial Fund

Donation protected
We, the family of Richard Pierson, would like to thank everyone who touched the life of our beloved Richard “Master Bade” Pierson. Richard was an amazing creation. His love for the arts was surpassed only by his love for you and me. On November 19, 2024, Richard quietly slipped into the abyss, gaining his eternal wings after a long battle with diabetes. He is most celebrated for his undeniable gift to drum. He played professionally most of his adult life, taking a pardon only due to hospitalization. We truly believed, even then, his soul was drumming. Many have asked how they can be a blessing during this untimely loss as Richard’s insurance lapsed during his hospitalization of about 6 months. Please lift the burden of funeral expenses by sowing into this GoFundMe. We would like all efforts to be deposited here. We are hoping to cover $11,000 for funeral expenses. Should anything go above or beyond, we will create the Richard Pierson Scholarship Fund for MHS.

Thank you for the love, kindness, friendship, and prayers.
