Roger Allen Pierson, Jr., 51, of Middle River, MD, passed Monday, December 5, 2022. He is survived by
his mother, Dolores Edwards, beloved brother Jeff and his wife Connie. He also leaves numerous aunts,
uncles and cousins. He is preceded in death by his father, Roger Allen Pierson, Sr.
Roger was born in Baltimore on March 23, 1971. He graduated from Kenwood High School in 1989. He
was known for his kind heart, sense of humor and easy smile. A devoted fan of the Maryland Terrapins,
Baltimore Ravens and the Orioles, Roger loved nothing more than catching a game and cheering on his
favorite teams.
Roger faced what many would consider debilitating circumstances with humor and concern for those
caring for him. He put up a brave fight, and is now at peace. He will be sorely missed.
