Keith Pearson

Keith Pearson, age 70, of Madisonville, passed away on March 12, 2026, at his home. Known affectionately as “Big P” or “Foxy,” he cherished the simple pleasures of life and found his greatest joy in the outdoors. He spent many happy days at his cabin in Tellico Plains, roaming the mountains and hunting bear, deer, and hogs. His legendary “hog call” was a favorite among those who knew him. He also loved fishing from his pontoon boat on Watts Bar Lake. Whether in the mountains, on the water, or simply spending time with Pam and Tess, those were the moments when he was happiest. He will be remembered for his love of the outdoors, his storytelling, and the good times he shared with family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Hazel Pearson, and his brother, Gary Pearson.

Keith is survived by his wife, Pamela Pearson; his daughter and son-in-law, Tess Pearson Walls and Brannon Walls; his sister, Vicki Hurst and her fiancé, Dennis Butler; his sister-in-law, Kathy Pearson; his nieces, Cassidy and Corey Peebles, Julie Pearson, and Alley and John Hutcheson; his nephew, Jeremy and Regina Pearson; his great-nieces, Abigail and Victoria Peebles, and Ava Byrd; his great-nephews, Sawyer and McCray Pearson, Hunter Hooper, and Brody Hayes; and his aunt, Margaret Hooper. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
