He was attending Refuge Church of Troutman, NC under the leadership of Pastor Gerry Clarke, at the time of his death. He was a construction worker and truck driver for many years. Bruce was a strong man that let nothing stop him. Bruce was a walking miracle. No matter how he felt or how his day was going, he had a smile on his face. He never met a stranger. He was known at dialysis as a gentle giant. Bruce was a man that always encouraged others, he always lent a helping hand. His grandchildren remember him as a strong, gentle man, who cared for them, watched over them and protected them. They always went to him for advice; even when he said “no”, he had their best interest at heart.
