It all began on March 17th, 2001
Pearse was born at the local Centralia Providence hospital in March of 2001. His parents, Peter and Laurie would be by his side from this day on. They encouraged, loved, and supported him through every step of his life. From his first step to his first cross country run, they would be there.
Pearse was a proud graduate of Fords Prairie Elementary school back in his day. He was taught by an amazing woman whom he called "grandma." These early years were vital in his growth as a young adult. They helped shape what an amazing young man he later became.
As Pearse grew, so did his involvement in school. He went on to attend Black Hills Highschool where he would become an active member in the band as well as the school's cross country team. He excelled in school and was a superb cross country runner. When he finished school in 2019, he did so in the top ten of his class.
After high school, Pearse continued onto the University of Washington where he would study as an engineering undergraduate for the next three years of his life. When he was not studying, he could often be found riding his Suzuki 650 or outdoors hiking and exploring nature.
