A Tribute to Bruce

Bruce (LB to most) was an absolute joy! Bruce kept everyone on 10 toes! He had eyes that were so bright and a smile so big. If Bruce was in a room or entering a room EVERYONE knew he was there. At the short age of 2-3 months Bruce was diagnosed with severe asthma which caused him to spend the majority of his life in Children’s Hospital. Bruce lived a true BOYS life for 13 yrs, he had an older brother and a younger cousin/brother that he adored and tortured them as often as he could lol. Bruce loved anything scary. Jason was the main character he loved. He loved Cleveland Cavaliers only because he thought LeBron was the GOAT! He enjoyed swimming, basketball, Halloween, and scary movies. Most of all, Bruce loved his family. He was a handful, but if you were not well, Bruce definitely made sure he loved on you and made sure you were cared for. July 9, 2017 changed his family’s lives forever; he no longer was able to care for family, but he was able to care for others by his gift of donation. Bruce is missed dearly everyday by his Mom and family. If I could say one thing to Bruce, it would be “FAITH”!

    Rambunctious!! Witty!! More Engery Than The Energizer Bunny!! Curious!! Thoughtful!! Humorous!! Full Of Life!!

    So many thoughts run through my mind as I think about Bruce…but the same picture pops up every time. He had a captivating smile and that charming personality could get him in and out of a mountain mischief!!

    To know Bruce was to know true love. At a very young age, he demonstrated unconditional love and compassion that most Saints are known for.

    It is only fitting that his life will forever be celebrated as a HERO!!
