Pierce lux Blazek Memorial Fund

Memorial Fund for Pierce/lux Blazek

Pierce (lux) Irvine Blazek, 22 years old, passed away on April 28th, 2025 in Arvada, CO.

Pierce was born on October 25, 2002, in Des Moines, lowa, to Steve and Jeannie Blazek.

Pierce began his education at Jordan Greek Elementary in West Des Moines and attended Stillwell Jr High. Midway through middle school, Pierce moved with his family to Arvada, Colorado, where he continued his studies at North Arvada Middle School and later Ralston Valley High school. At Ralston Valley, Pierce was a passionate and accomplished student, earning membership in the National Honor Society and achieving varsity letters in orchestra, choir, and academics.

After high school, Pierce moved to Portland, Oregon, to attend Lewis & Clark College, where they were awarded the Presidential Scholarship for their academic excellence. They pursued a double major in Psychology and Art History. Pierce/lux was set to graduate in the spring of 2025.

They were deeply admired by both their professors and peers for their intellect, creativity, and authenticity.

Pierce/lux was a beautiful, brilliant, and gifted soul with a boundless heart. From a young age, they were drawn to creativity in all its forms - expressing their self through music, acting, drawing, painting, and sculpture. Art was not just a hobby but an essential part of who they were. Lux poured their emotions and experiences into music and performed at musical events across the country. Lux's second EP, a collection of songs close to their heart, will be released by their friends later this year.

Beyond the arts, Lux found joy and freedom in the mountains. They were a talented and daring skier who embraced the challenge of difficult terrain.

Pierce/Lux is survived by their parents Steve and Jeannie Blazek of Arvada, CO, and an older brother Beau Blazek of Las Vegas, NV, and grandparents Rosie and Gary Irvine of Boone, IA, and their fur babies Daisy and Duke.
