Carl Jeffry “Jeff” PearsonJuly 27, 1939-October 19, 2026

C. Jeffry “Jeff” Pearson, 87, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 19, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Jeff was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and uncle.

Jeff lived a full life defined by hard work, determination, family and a wonderful sense of humor. He was a devoted father, grandfather and great-grandfather who took tremendous pride in his family and the generations that followed him.

Known for his strong work ethic, integrity and mischievous sense of humor, Jeff had a way of making people laugh and a gift for telling a good story. Like many of his stories, they seemed to get a little bigger with each telling.

In his younger years, Jeff was an accomplished pianist and although he rarely played in later years, his musical talent was one of many special parts of his life. Family traditions, particularly the Pearson family Christmas celebrations, held a special place in his heart. He also cherished his beloved dogs, Laska and Buddy.

Jeff faced significant health challenges throughout his life, including undergoing two liver transplants. His family will always be grateful to the incredible doctors, nurses and transplant team at UCSF who helped give him additional years with the people he loved.

Above all, Jeff’s greatest pride was his family. His legacy lives on through his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, along with the memories, traditions, stories and values he passed down through the generations.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
