Danny Cecil Pierce

Danny Cecil Pierce, age 63, of Sophia, NC, passed away at home on May 27, 2025.

Danny was born on August 11, 1961, in Thomasville, NC, to Cecil Pierce and Joyce Webb. A lifelong handyman, Danny had a natural talent for fixing anything and everything—often crafting something out of nothing. He loved working on cars, fishing any chance he could, and spending time with his beloved dogs. He was a man who never liked to sit still, always believing that being idle was just “laziness.” Whether he was tinkering in the garage or helping someone out, Danny lived a life of action and usefulness.

He loved his family deeply and found great pride and joy in being a grandfather and great-grandfather. Danny shared 37 years of marriage with his late wife, Patricia Gail Dagenhart, and together they built a life filled with love, resilience, and family.

Danny is preceded in death by his wife, Patricia Gail Dagenhart, and his parents, Cecil Pierce and Joyce Webb.

He is survived by his grandson, Brad Dagenhart (Megan); his granddaughter, Haven Dagenhart; and six cherished great-grandchildren.

Danny will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his love for his family, and his ability to turn every moment into something meaningful.

Pugh Funeral Home of Asheboro is Honored to serve the Pierce Family.
