Just was reading this, so sorry for your loss. I remember Oren so well from PDB church as a youngster. He was the kindest man and always had a smile on his face and a toothpick in his mouth. Being a very pleasant gentleman I am so glad I had the opportunity to know him. God bless R.I.P dear friend. Sue Lake

Darlene, Harold, Velma, Wanda, and Norma and all the family, I'm so sorry to hear of Oren passing. I just saw him this past summer, while visiting my family, as I would go on my daily walk by his place. He would always be in his chair, with a toothpick in his mouth (I actually can't remember a time when he didn't have one in his mouth)and reading his morning paper. He would wave as I walked by, and ask me to stop and visit, which I did. His favorite subject was all of YOU, his family and all of his, Grandchildren, Great, and Great Great Grandchildren. He loved to talk about everything, but mostly of the love he had for his family. I remember him getting to meet my oldest son back in 1986, and he was so thrilled, that he got to see him. Oren will be sadly missed by all, as he touched so many lives. His memory will always live on in each of you and of all the others that he met along the way. May you all find peace in the days to come.. Love you all, and God Bless you all.. Teresa

Grandpa always seemed bigger than life to me! He always had a toothpick in his mouth and a big smile! He had a way of making me feel that I was his most important grandchild! Ha!(now, as a grandmother, myself, I know that wasn't true). I knew if Grandpa loved me & thought I was okay, then God probably did too! The memories are too numerous to mention, but it comes down to the fact that he loved Jesus & he loved his family, all of us! What a blessing and an honor to be a part of the Oren Pierson family! On Thanksgiving Day, Grandpa loved to watch us all arrive from all over the country, to reunite in giant hugs & to share about our lives & families with each other! He sat in his rocker, in the corner of the garage, next to the door, & opened the sliding glass door for each of us, as we arrived with hands full of food, games, pictures to share, etc. Even when he couldn't hear us very well, he would say, "I just love to watch all of you lovin' each other!" I picture Grandpa, in similar fashion, at the door of Heaven, (waiting with a big smile on his face, as he's already looked out to see we've arrived)... opening the door for each 1 of us to enter. He won't be in any rocking chair,& he will be able to stand up tall with no canes, lift his arms to give us a full on hug & then lead us one by one to the Throne Room to see Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, just like in this life, he led us each to see Christ! O! What a glorious day that will be! Until then, I miss him like crazy!

Grandpa taught me alot about how to treat people and what kind of person to be. His stories were endless and my memories of him and Grandma are plenty. I'll always remember my adventure in the motorhome while going to Fla.with Gpa, then years later coming home from Fla. when we got the call that Marvin had passed.Looking back now,he was the strong one on that day. I'll always love you.

We are sorry for the death of Oren, he so wanted to make it to 100 years old.

Although I never met Oren or his wife, they were so kind and generous to share what they knew of our family's history. My regret is that I never got to meet them in person. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Sending prayers your way for the loss of happy, friendly man. He will be missed by many.

So sad to hear of Oren's passing. Please know that your entire family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I never saw Oren without a smile or a toothpick in the corner of his mouth. When he was around, there was always laughter. We'll miss him. Jim & Nancy Schien

Hezzie was my godfather. At my pending birth, Dale yelled over to Hezzie at the farmhouse across the field that I was on the way. So he was there when I came into the world. I will never forget him. An amazing man.

Oren was a cockeyed optimist and we all loved him for it. My Dad's best friend and someone who could make him smile. Peace

Kathy and Roger

Will see you around Hezzie.
