Two more students also died on campus from other causes, according to police records.The wife of 34-year-old Victor Pierce is the most recent person to file a suit in Duval County court.“Victor was his own person,” he said, remembering his stepson with a smile. “He didn’t follow any template. He did what he wanted to do.”
Sadly, Pierce’s story stopped on Feb. 12, 2022. As a veteran, he was using his GI bill to become a commercial diver at CDA Technical Institute in Jacksonville. That day he was training at an offsite lake when instructors told police he went under and didn’t come back up. The families of Fausto Martins and Isaiah Johnson are also suing after their loved ones died at CDA events.
