He is survived by his son Rob (Carisa), Grandkids (Brooklyn, Bryndi, and Ayden) and multiple cousins, nieces, nephews, and In-Laws. Bruce was an active member of the LDS church where he held the Melchizedek priesthood. He loved nothing more than spending time with his grandkids, whether it was taking them on summer trips, cooking for them, or playing card/board games. They meant the world to him. He also enjoyed and supported his wife and son through so many years of them clogging, by cheering them on and running the sound system for so many competitions. He also enjoyed and was very involved in Amateur Radio (HAM). He spent some of his spare time talking with other amateur radio operators. He had various jobs throughout his years and for the last part of his life he worked at Walmart doing a variety of different jobs for them. He had a very sarcastic sense of humor and always had a smart remark for everyone now and then. He is loved and will be missed by all.
