Douglas Earl Pierce of Vinemont passed away June 12, 2019 at the age of 68. He was born Oct. 12, 1950 to Albert Earl and Betty Lou Kilpatric Pierce.
Doug had a passion for rodeoing, training performance horses, competition coon hunting, team roping and chicken fighting. He will long be remembered as a trader of livestock, saddles and on anything of value, even a water buffalo. He was a jack of all trades and never missed the opportunity to take time with the younger generation to pass on any knowledge to cowboys, coon hunters and traders that would listen.
