Otis Keith Pearce Jr

It is with heavy hearts the family of Otis Keith Pearce Jr., 33, announces his unexpected passing on August 20, 2026.

Keith was the beloving father to his son Rome, brother, nephew, uncle and friend whose life touched many people. He had a generous and kind heart, a wonderful sense of humor and a way of making people feel special. He loved spending time with family and friends. He was the life of every party. He loved with his whole heart.

He graduated from Hephzibah High School. He enlisted in the United States Army and served in Korea.

Keith was an avid Green Bay Packer fan since the young age of 5. He loved to fish, spending time with his beloved dog Kesha and had a deep passion and love for music. Some of the happiest moments in his life were spent traveling and meeting people along the way that later become close friends.

He leaves behind his mother, Rita Johnson; father, Otis Pearce; bonus mom and dad, Hymer Dillabough and Michelle Pearce (aunt Chell); sister, Destinee Carswell (Jesse Quick); two brothers, Michael Holton (Rebecca) all of Augusta and Matthew Pearce of Minnesota and nieces and nephews.

Keith entered the gates of heaven with both grandparents from both sides, Otis Pearce (Elizabeth) and Alton Johnson (Willene).

Although his life was much too short, 33 years cannot be measured simply by the number of years lived, but by people loved, the memories made and the lives touched along the way.

His family will gather to celebrate his life on September 5, 2026 at 11AM at Burns Memorial Global Methodist Church 2372 Lumpkin Road Augusta, Georgia with Pastor Rodger Otero officiating.
