I'm Denise Sparagna the Aunt of Christian Pierce He's the surviving son of my brother who passed away on November 7th.

  • Given name William Pierce but a lot of us knew him as Bill or Billy.. so much heartache since he is passed away, he went into cardiac arrest and they never got him back. Billy didn't have a whole lot and my parents are helping out
  • cover many of the expenses I'm raising the money for my nephew . My brother & Jennifer's only child (together) which is Christian ,..,Billy would drive all over the US!! Connecticut to Washington State ,Washington State down to California back to Connecticut down to the Florida keys ...Alabama!! I don't think there was a state other than Hawaii and Alaska that he didn't drive to.... Christian is 21 and he wants to pay tribute to his father and drive from Ohio to Eugene Oregon. So he started figuring out the math, like gas prices, Christian found out how far it was from Ohio to Eugene Oregon and then factored in gas prices possibly stopping for a night and round trip $2,000 to me if I had all of it I'd give it to him but I don't and it's a shock to all of us...on Billy's passing at the age of 51 of a heart attack..I would like to do a video and share his life.
  • Billy was 18 possibly 19. He was driving to Washington State...this next picture is priceless...us 3 older kids decided to put on a show for our parents


  • The station wagon,.with the ever so attractive fake wood
  • Had to get the rest of the Adam and and preppy and proud baseball styled shirt God the '80s were awful.
  • Christian is starting his road trip on the 18th.. Bill will be laid to rest either the 22nd or 23rd.
