January 21st, 1963 – June 18th, 2025
With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Anthony Craig Piercey, known by his family and friends as Craig, on June 18th, 2025, at the age of 62. Craig passed away peacefully at St. Claire’s Hospital with loved ones close by.
Craig was born in the town of Markland but spent most of his life in Long Cove/Norman’s Cove. He was known for his strong work ethic throughout his life and his dedication to everything he did, especially for his life partner, Liz. He was someone who could always be counted on.
He will be remembered for his strength, humor, and the way he always showed up when it mattered most. Craig had a deep love for the outdoors, especially berry-picking with Liz and his Granddaughter, Emilie, and he never said no to lending a helping hand.
Craig is predeceased by his long-term life partner, Liz, who passed just 5 months before Craig, Their beloved Pomeranian Peggy. his parents, Maire and Alfred Piercey, and his sister Tena. Craig leaves to mourn his siblings, Violetta (Gary), Woodrow (Violet-Deceased), Valerie (Danny), Mike (Marg-Deceased), Ann (Nelson-Deceased) Chris (Chan), Shane (Marsha), Jamie (Kim), and a large circle of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, Liz’s children: Mike (Doreen), Betsy (Steve), Sean (Malissa), Jamie (Jaime) who will all miss him dearly.
A celebration of life will follow. Details will be shared with family and friends at a later time.
