Dylan Pierard

Age 25 of Boca Raton, Florida and formerly of Diamond, Illinois, passed away unexpectedly, Tuesday, June 9, 2020.

Born January 27, 1995 in Morris, Illinois, Dylan Jacob was a son of Tracey and Sheri (Benson) Pierard. He was raised in Coal City, where he participated in local football and wrestling, and went on to graduate from Coal City High School with the Class of 2013.

A fan of the Chicago White Sox, Dylan loved the ocean and his hobby of surfing. He cherished his dog Skylar, but it was only second to his niece and nephew, who he adored. Dylan will be remembered as the life of the party, and was truly a great kid with a huge heart. When he loved, he loved. Dylan leaves behind the free spirited mantra, YOLO (you only live once).

Survivors include his parents, Tracey and Sheri Pierard of Diamond; brother, Kyle Pierard (Melissa Gilbertson) of Coal City; the love of his life, Taylor Porterfield and her son Ryder; niece and nephew, Tessa and Jace Pierard; grandparents: Tom and Sarah Sayers of Carbon Hill and Donna Benson and Margaret Pierard, both of Diamond; great grandparents: Patricia Sayers of Carbon Hill and Mattie Arnold of Oakfield, Tennessee; aunts and uncles: Dan and Stacey Rodgers of Carbon Hill, Keith and Stacy Benson of Coal City, Bill and Marcie Miller of Colorado Springs, Colorado and Paul Pierard of Coal City, and numerous cousins and friends.

Dylan was preceded in death by his grandfathers: George Keith Benson and David Pierard, and great grandparents including, Marguerite Smith.
