Young star football player Keith Pierce was much to young to leave this world when he did. Just one month and four days after celebrating his 10th birthday, tragedy struck the Pierce family.

The young Montana fourth-grader passed away just nine days after being bitten on the leg by a brown recluse spider on October 4, 2014. The brown recluse is one of the most venomous spiders in the United States.
