He was born on November 10, 1963, in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas to the late Col. James Cope, USA-Ret. and Ann Abigail (Jenkins) Jewell.
Bruce had a true love of life and family, and if you knew him, you probably knew he was always good for a joke. He loved motorcycles, loved being around people, and had a way of bringing a little laughter with him wherever he went. He will be remembered for his sense of humor, his spirit, and all the memories he gave the people who loved him.
Bruce will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We are heartbroken to say goodbye, but grateful for the life he lived, the laughter he shared, and the memories he leaves behind.
Bruce is survived by his children: Kelly Jewell (Steven Dicks), Joey Jewell, Ben Jewell, and Kym Fork; brother, Doug Jewell (Beth); sister, Lori Sheerin (Brendan); two grandchildren: Scarlett and Raven Jewell; and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Mullins & Thompson Funeral Service, 1621 Emancipation Highway, Fredericksburg, VA 22401.
