Ronald Walter Pearson,
a Denton resident for over thirty years, affectionately
known as "Pop", went to his heavenly home today, October 11,
2011 at the age of 69. This kind man of faith is survived by
his wonderful bride of forty-nine and a half years, Sylvia
K. Davis. They met in Borger, Texas and married on the
island of Guam while he served in the United States Navy. He
is also survived by his children Robin Herrington (Stewart
Herrington) of Richardson, Rhonda Tovar (Narcisso Tovar) of
Lewisville and John "Sparky" Pearson (Carrie Pearson) of
Argyle. He's also survived by his three loving sisters Joan
Dwyer of Coeur d' Alene, Judy Pearson of Coeur d' Alene,
Marti Monti of Phoenix, and and his loved sister-in-law Sue
Davis of Wimberley. He is also survived by his nieces Amy
Schneider, Shannon O'Brien and Lindsay Monti as well as his
nephews Todd Dwyer and Derek Monti. He also leaves behind
many beloved cousins and friends. Pop was a friend to anyone
who needed one. His pride and joy were his grandchildren:
Katelynn Pearson, Will Pearson, Kacie Herrington, and Grant
Pearson, who know beyond a shadow of a doubt, Pop's Gone
Fishin' in Heavenly Lakes! The Funeral Service will be 10:00

Comments:

- Iron horses if you can, cages are always welcome and
appreciated.
- Safety First: Please remember to
properly hydrate (including the night before) before any
outdoor activity and to dress appropriately. Do not hesitate
to take a break at any time if you feel you need to get in
the shade or get indoors and always ask for help at any
time. Also please do not forget your sun screen.
-
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and
silent, and with honor and respect for this patriot and
their family. NO TALKING IN THE FLAG LINE!
- We will
park along the main street close to the designated shelter
with 2 bikes side by side as close to the curb and each
other as possible so that traffic can get by.
- Let's
always remember to keep the motorcycle and voice noise to a
minimum when arriving and leaving the shelters.
-
Cemeteries are hallowed ground. Please keep radios off and
engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit.
Show our respect to ALL who are there, not just the one we
are honoring.
