James A. Pierson, 16, is asleep in Jesus on Aug. 8, 2001.
Born in Akron, he was a student at Mogadore High School.
James was a one-of-a-kind person who loved the Lord. He was
a member of the Lighthouse Gospel Church, where he served
as an usher. He was very active in the Youth Department, and
was a caring and loving friend and an inspiration to all. Our lives
will be empty and hollow without him.
