Our beloved Wesner Pierre, fondly remembered as Wes by his coworkers and friends and NèNè by his family, sadly passed away in the early morning hours on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at the age of 73. Wesner was born in Archahaie, Haiti on December 20, 1951 to the late Joseph Legrand Pierre and Asefille Marcellus. He migrated to the US in 1975.

Wes was a bright light in every room he walked into, always greeting others with his signature smile. He was incredibly devoted to his family, and he worked hard throughout his life to give them all the very best. Wes was always a practical man, emphasizing his core values of responsibility, respect, and fairness throughout all of his decisions, and demonstrating a strong sense of maturity from a very young age. Growing up in Haiti, he was affectionately referred to as Pèpè, or “Grandpa.” Wes was a determined and bright professional, he earned his Bachelor of Science while new to the US, learning English, and working several jobs to support himself. After graduating, he married his beloved wife in 1982. He worked a successful and full career as a chemical engineer for several prominent companies, working his way up to be a seasoned and respected leader on his teams. At home, his daughters and wife were constantly showered with love by him, and they enjoyed going on family adventures together that took advantage of his love for exercise and the outdoors. Whether it was a family bike ride, a hike, or just a walk around the lake, Wes was always the fittest and fastest of the bunch. These interests were luckily shared with his wife of 42 years, with whom he shared a friendship since early childhood.

Through date nights, moves, vacations, lighting up various dance floors and all of the twists and turns of raising two children, Wes and Maggie remained deeply committed to one another, and shared a strong bond and deep love that was ever-present in his final days.

Wesner was a beloved husband and father, and he will be deeply missed by his family and friends. There are not enough words to truly encapsulate what an incredible person he was.

He is survived by his wife Margarett Muse Pierre, daughter Jennifer Pierre and husband Michael Colin Schramm, daughter Stephanie Pierre and husband Jomari Picazo, brothers Marcaisse, Bercon, Jean-Eddy, Getty, and family, sister Yanick, Marie Lucienne, Rosena and family, and cousins Marie Carmel, Maryse and family, and additional family.

Wes was a long-time member of the Knights of Columbus. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Knights of Columbus organization, Chapter #6212, would be greatly appreciated.
