Mr. Pearson graduated from Warrenton High School and went directly to work for the C & P Telephone Co. of Virginia, from which he retired in 1986 as cable supervisor. At that time, he joined his wife in Pearson Auction Co. in Catlett and for the next 23 years that partnership flourished. He was active in 4-H, both leading the Agriculture Club and with Young Dominion Performing Arts Troupe. He also partnered in Midland Equipment Co., dealing with used farm equipment, moving that to the Auction Barn location in Catlett. In 1996 he partnered with his son J., in a venture called Carry-On Trailer Corp. For the first few years, he actively worked on everything needed to make this new company work while son got the sales going throughout the USA and directed the company’s path. The company grew fast due to a quality product, and he soon found himself in charge of building new factories (Georgia, Texas, Iowa, Virginia), which he loved. It was at the beginning of building in Nevada that he realized his health was failing, and he retired from this much loved work. The company went on to be the largest of its kind in the USA, and he enjoyed his son giving him the updates so that he still felt he was involved. Mr. Pearson loved his home at Herdland Farm in Midland and enjoyed having a “weekend” home in Lavonia, Ga., which is where Carry-On Trailer corporate office is located. After retirement and when Alzheimer’s made it impossible to function, the farm was sold, and he and Mr. Pearson moved to Georgia to live. Both son J and daughter Donna live nearby with four of the six grandchildren, which has given him great joy as well as physical help. Kelley is able to come frequently, which completed his joy until he no longer knew. Before Alzheimer’s took all his memories away, he said to Bernice one day: “I’ve loved my life, I’ve loved my family, I’ve loved my God, and I love you.” Survivors include his wife, Bernice Cornwell Pearson, and three children Kelley and husband Steve Lurus, James Ashley “J” and wife Renae Collier and Donna and husband Mike Lee; six grandchildren, Alex Nicastro, Jake Nicastro, Anna Kate Pearson, Will Pearson, TJ Lee and Matthew Lee, and his older siblings, Virginia Pearson Kane and Harvey Lee Pearson. A service will take place at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19, at Strickland Funeral Home in Lavonia, Ga. A second service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 30, at Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton. Burial will follow at the Warrenton Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 29, at the funeral home and for an hour before the service Saturday morning.
