About Tarik S. Pierce
Tarik Pierce was a beloved member of the Stonewall Sports family, Just The Tip, and local community. Tarik passed away unexpectedly due to natural causes in 2023. Tarik was a pillar of our community, leaving a lasting impact on D.C.’s LGBTQ+ people through his work in Stonewall Sports, Capital Pride Alliance (which honored Tarik with a Heroes Award in 2022), and the Department of Veterans Affairs. He lived a life dedicated to serving others, believing we must step up and lead our communities.
Tarik exemplified the values of our Stonewall community, playing with a competitive spirit, welcoming all with open arms, and fiercely advocating the needs of local nonprofits.
