Bruce Alexander Brenner

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bruce A. Brenner, a beloved husband, devoted father, cherished grandfather, brother, and a dear friend to many. He departed from this world on October, 18 2023, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories.

Born on February 14, 1942. At a young age Bruce was a brilliant mind, proudly graduating from The Peddie School and continuing his higher education at Brooklyn Community College and Clark University, pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. His remarkable talents and unwavering dedication in this field continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing him.

Among his passions, Bruce had a deep love for sailing and fishing, finding solace and joy in the serene beauty of the ocean and great outdoors. His penchant for crafting intricate toy planes and boats, as well as his skill in creating custom fly-fishing lures, attested to his remarkable patience and precision, qualities that permeated all aspects of his life. Even as a child, Bruce's affable nature and captivating appearance made him a candidate as a child clothing model for Montgomery Ward, reflecting the charisma and charm that would define his journey.

Travel was another source of immense joy for Bruce. Exploring new places, cultures, and experiencing the wonders of the world was a passion he embraced wholeheartedly. His adventures created memories and friendships that will be treasured by all who had the pleasure of joining him on those journeys.

Yet, amidst all these passions, Bruce’s greatest love was for his wife and family. He adored his wife, Felicia, and their children; his daughter Michelle, and her husband Brian and their two sons Evan and Scott ; his son Joe and his wife Cathy; his daughter Reagan; his son David and his partner Michelin and sons Dominic, Armond, and Marcellino. He loved his wife and children beyond measure, providing unwavering support and guidance to his family. He shared a brotherly bond with his brother-in-law, Armond Chirichella, a connection built on the pillars of camaraderie and mutual respect.

As we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the incredible life Bruce lived and the profound impact he had on those who had the privilege of knowing him. His memory will forever reside in our hearts, a testament to the beautiful soul he was.

Services to celebrate Bruce’s life will be held on October 22, 2023 at 1:00p.m. at Gutterman and Musicant at 402 Park Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601. All who knew him are welcome to join us in remembering and paying tribute to a man whose spirit will live on in our hearts.

May he find eternal peace, and may his memory bring comfort to those who loved him during this time of sorrow.
