Obituary
6 months, 15 days – that’s how long Pierce was in our lives.
Forever – that’s how long he’ll remain in our hearts.
Pierce Alexander Barata Trombino was born on April 30, 2011 to overjoyed parents, Rich and Angela, and excited big brother, Wyatt. Having Daddy’s eyes and Mommy’s lips, “Baby P”, as Wy affectionately called him, had a happy disposition from the start. Pierce loved watching his big bro sing and dance and seemed to relish in Wy’s unique style of entertainment. Daddy’s nightly arrival from a long day at work put a vibrant smile to Baby P’s beautiful face. Mommy’s caress brought him peace and tranquility.
At 3 weeks, doctors diagnosed Pierce with a heart defect and at 2 months with a disease called biliary atresia leaving him in need of a liver transplant. Through many visits and stays at CHOC (Childrens’ Hospital of Orange County) and UCLA, Pierce became a fixture at the hospitals where doctors and nurses knew him and would immediately recognize him as the baby with the striking eyes and extremely long lashes.
Family, friends and friends of friends stormed heaven with prayers for Baby P asking for his recovery. He united people and symbolized hope and inspiration. He persevered through his illness and demonstrated courage beyond his years.
In early November, doctors found that Pierce’s condition was worse than they ever thought. After being hospitalized for 5 weeks at CHOC and then UCLA and while surrounded by his loved ones, Pierce lost his hard fought battle.
With hearts filled with love and burdened by their loss, Daddy, Mommy and Wy-Wy will miss the simple pleasures they shared with Pierce. His curious eyes and jubilant smile will be permanently imprinted in the hearts of everyone who knew him.

“I’ll lend you for a little while this child of mine” he said, “for you to love here, while he lives and mourn when he is dead”It may be six or seven months or twenty two or three but will you till I call him back take care of him for me?.He’ll bring his charm to gladden you, should his stay be brief,You’ll have his lovely memories as solace for you grief.
I fancied that I heard you say, “Dear Lord, thy will be done for all the joy this child shall bring the risk of grief we”ll run.
We”ll shelter his tenderness, we”ll love him while we may and for the happiness we have known forever grateful stay,! but shall the angel call for him much sooner than we”ve planned,
We”ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand” Author Unknown
May God wrap his arms around your entire family and bring you comfort and peace. God be with you I am so sorry,
