Bruce was a kind-hearted man who loved the outdoors. He loved having friends and family and neighbors around to have a good laugh. He also, enjoyed having a few cold ones and some Bloody Marys with his lifelong friend, Chris, at the river. Bruce loved fishing, gardening, and helping people when he could. When he had the chance to sit down he liked watching westerns with his good buddies Heath, Jenny, Mike, and Doug.

He will be missed by many and never forgotten.
