Whitney Pier
It is with a heavy heart that we, the family of Jeffrey Scott Pearson, announce his sudden and unfathomable passing at home on Saturday, February 22, 2025, in Whitney Pier.
Jeff was born in Sydney, on February 26, 1980, to Janis and the late Terry Pearson and was the middle child of three boys.
Jeff is survived by his loving wife, Charlotte; children, Rylan, Lily May, and Bentley; mother, Janis Pearson; brother, Terry Pearson (Theresa); niece, Sophie Pearson; in-laws, Harris and Marry Jane MacDonald; brother in-laws, Jacob and Jonathan MacDonald and numerous extended family and friends.
Jeff was predeceased by his younger brother, Ryan; father, Terry; cousin, Sheldon; uncles, Shelly and Jack Pearson, Scott, Todd, Barry and Shawn Lewis. Jeff also leaves behind his aunts, Philene Simms and Margorie Oliver.
Jeff attended Sydney Academy and eventually went to Fort McMurray to work in the Oil and Gas industry with Local 92. He later opened his own contracting business, building and operating numerous rental properties throughout Sydney. In his younger years, Jeff enjoyed playing soccer for the Whitney Pier Soccer Club, and hockey for numerous teams in the SCMHA.
Jeff was a devoted family man. His love for Charlotte, Rylan, Lily May, and Bentley was unwavering and always on display wherever he was. They were his whole world, and he devoted everything to their well being and ensuring they had everything required for a happy healthy life.  He was an excellent father who enjoyed taking his children to school/rinks every day, being in the stands cheering on Rylan with the Jr Miners every game and all the times they spent together in Ingonish with the MacDonald clan.
Jeff was a âPier Boyâ to the bone. His sense of humor was unmatched. His jokes and how he could handle a room were legendary to say the least. For those who were lucky enough to know and spend time with Jeff, will be laughing at his stories and jokes for many years to come.
Golf and hockey with his buddies were his favorite pastimes. It was a pleasure golfing with Jeff as it was a guaranteed good time that usually ended up with a bad score and sore sides from laughing. Every Saturday night, Jeff could be found at the Pier Rink, Dressing Room #1, holding court and riding the white team before an easy victory.
Private memorial service to celebrate the life of Jeff Pearson has taken place at the Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church St.), Whitney Pier. Interment will take place in Forest Haven Memorial Gardens, Sydney, at a later date.
Donations in memory of Jeff may be made to the Whitney Pier Rink Fund or a charity of oneâs choice.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.
