Dawn Pearson passed away on Saturday, November 7, 2026, while doing something she loved. Though her passing was unexpected, the love she shared and the memories she created will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew her.
Dawn was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend who lived life with a deep appreciation for the outdoors, family, and the simple joys that made life special.
She shared a beautiful life with her husband, Jamie Pearson, whom she loved dearly. Together, they enjoyed countless memories, especially spending time at the racetrack surrounded by their racing family, a community that held a special place in her heart and sitting around a campfire with friends and family, sipping on an ice cold beer.
Dawn was happiest outdoors, whether shed hunting, deer hunting, fishing, metal detecting, or searching for arrowheads and other relics. She loved discovering hidden treasures and making memories along the way. Her love for flowers, gardening, crafting, and spending time with her daycare children brought her endless joy. Above all, she cherished visits with her children and time spent with her beloved granddaughters.
She leaves behind her loving husband, Jamie Pearson; her son, James Fowler, and granddaughter Kaylee Fowler; her daughter, Misti Johnson (Josh Johnson), and granddaughters Braelyn and Brylee Johnson; her children’s father, Michael Fowler; her mother, Mary Douglas; her stepsons, Michael Pearson and Allen Pearson; her sister, Denise Kothbauer, and nieces Amber Ingwell (Marlene), Kala Ennen (Jem), and Dana Freemore (BJ); and her brother, David Kothbauer (Cindy). She also leaves behind many dear friends, including Joe and Sue Schmid, Bob and Marcia Lundt, and her cherished racing family; along with countless others whose lives she touched.
Dawn was preceded in death by her father, James Kothbauer; stepfather; and her grandparents.
Though her time with us was far too short, the memories she leaves behind will last a lifetime. Her adventurous spirit, love for her family, and passion for the things she loved will never be forgotten. She will forever be missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
