For days I’ve pondered on what I should write and honestly no words could ever totally describe the amazing  person you were . I just wanted to say thank you for being such a great friend to me and for always giving me some reason to smile even when I didn’t feel like smiling. I wish I had known that Sunday before would be the last time I would ever see you. I would have visited with you longer. I would have hugged your neck before you left. I would have ordered you that “omelette “ you were joking about. I’ve been praying for your dad . I know losing you and your mom just a few months apart must be hard on him. I have been there myself so I know that pain.
Bruce,   I will miss you my friend. Thank you again for being my friend. You were one of a kind.🙏🏻💙🖤

I had the pleasure of being one of the first to welcome Bruce to UPRR.  He was a standout student in his new hire class I taught, as well as a class favorite from day one.  I’m pretty sure he made a 100 on any quiz or exam he took.  He was always so kind and respectful of everyone he came into contact with.  He moved with certainty and confidence that anyone would envy but appreciate.  I remember discussing model railroading with him and him describing a club he belonged to, unfortunately I never met up with him as promised to see it for myself.  He also shared a fondness for aviation as I do.  I had wanted to take him flying and always thought that we would sooner or later.  That regretfully will not happen now.  Bruce was taken from us too soon,  and he has reminded us to seize the moment and let your loved ones, friends or family,  know they are loved daily!  

Andy has always been his Father’s pride, his Mother’s joy. Their dream come true. The earth has lost a remarkable young man.  We will miss you Andy all the days of our lives.  Until the day of our earthly departure walk in paradise with your Mom and Aunt Penny.  One day we will all be together again.  With love, Aunt Pam

I'm very sorry to hear about the  death of Brother Bruce.  Although I never had the  pleasure of working with him, but, he seems to had been a good man!  RIP Brother Bruce!

So sorry for all of y’all.  Lifting all in prayer. Love ya Tammy and Barry Thomas 

Although Bruce & I didn’t work for the same railroad or belong to the same union, as a fellow railroad family we mourn his loss. We offer our condolences to his family and friends

Brother Dominique, may you rest in peace..........

Bruce was a kind-hearted person who genuinely cared about everyone he came into contact with. I met him through my husband when they worked together at the railroad and it was like we had been friends our whole lives. We shared recipes and stories and just talked about things going on in each other's lives. He was there for our wedding and we were there for his. People with his nature and loving spirit just don't come along every day. He will be greatly missed.

Bruce was my neighbor in Savannah Place for several years. Eventually, we became good friends. We worked on projects together and frequently borrowed tools and material from each other. We often worked on both our houses and yards together. Bruce and I spoke often and we would both seek advice from each other on various things. Our neighbors would often drive by and catch us out in the front yard catching up on life and what not. 
My family cared for Bruce and his family deeply, and he often checked up on mine. 

Bruce, I’m going to miss our talks and our little projects we shared. You were an amazing friend and even though I never told you, I considered you family. 
Until next time, rest easy my friend and save some projects for me, for when we meet again. 


Bruce was like a brother to me for a certain time in my life. He kept me level headed about things I could not control and never complained. I also enjoyed his and Michael's train conversations, whether about work or their model train projects. He will be missed dearly by every heart he touched with his amazing personality. I pray for his family and close friends daily till we say our final goodbyes to a great man gone too soon.  

I took this picture of him and Micheal on a spontanous trip to the Texas State Railroad.

Every not so often you meet someone that is just genuinely an overall great person; that kind of person that you literally just can’t help but LOVE. I mean as in sincerely, “I just love that guy/gal”. Well Bruce  was one of those rare individuals. Truly one of the finest human being’s I’ve ever been blessed to not only know, but be friends with. A brother in both Blue, and in railroading at Union Pacific. Always a positive attitude, and always encouraging, even if it had a slight sarcasm to it, Bruce just wasn’t going to let anything ruin his day, or YOURS for that matter!! He WOULD keep you upbeat, no matter what. Whether you wanted him to or not for that matter. I sure appreciate that about him now. I hope he knew I meant it then!  
I’m going to miss you my friend. But I know you are happy to be with your mom again!  

Rest easy brother

Bruce was a genuine friend to everyone and would always help anyone in need. Bruce and I met years ago through some mutual "car friends" and Bruce always wanted to help me with whatever I was doing with my car at the time. I even called Bruce on short notice once to make a roadtrip to Dallas and back in a day and he did it without hesitation. We joked and laughed for 3 hours there and 3 hours back. Bruce was witty and always made people laugh! I'm still shocked that he was called home so soon but I hope he and his mother are rejoicing together. 

Rest In peace, Bruce. You will be missed.  I fondly remember the times we shared on the railroad.  Prayers for your family.

Rest In Peace Brother Bruce even though i don't know you train drivers the world over feel the pain when one of our own is injured or passes away condolences to your family and friends mate and also to your fellow railroaders.

I met Bruce when he joined BCPD. I always enjoyed working with him because he always had a gentle smile, but you literally could see into his soul through his big, generous eyes. He never had anything bad to say about anyone, even the arrestees and inmates at the jail. He always had something funny or sly to say, followed by his quirky smile. He was a gentle, loving giant, with an even bigger heart. When he left to go to the rail rail, I was sad to see him go, but mostly because I wouldn’t get to see him everyday at work. His presence made such a grueling job much more bearable.  I was blessed to see him out and about over the last few years, and he would smile that larger than life smile, and pick me up in a big bear hug, that was truly GENUINE. As devastating as his loss is here on earth, those of us who were blessed to know him and love him, know he is in peace with the Lord, and an even greater guardian for us all, up in Heaven. Bruce, we love you buddy! And I will see you again soon. Til then, I know you have my 6! ❤️

I was a reserve police officer and Bruce was certified before me, so he would listen, assist and provide advice when on the streets of Bossier. I recall him dedicating a lot of hours to the streets of Bossier for free. A great co-worker, man, mentor and friend. Rest in peace sir...

Bruce was one of the finest, he cared so much for others.  He taught me to always be kind and that everyday counts.  Im sure going to miss our daily texts and calls.  Bruce truly was a bright light in this world. 

Three years ago Bruce was my neighbor and friend. I was so overweight I couldn’t move a lot. I was in a bad place. One day I was talking to Bruce about it and he said, well, what are you gunna do about it? Keep eating or get moving. I told him I wanted to get moving but I was so fat I didn’t want to walk alone. Everyday from that moment Bruce would knock on my door and grab my hand and take me walking. I was so out of shape that I had to stop so many times. He would put his hand on my back and say, Tracy you got this, just keep moving forward. He said I’m going to keep showing up every day until you do this yourself. In our neighborhood there is a very steep hill. If you have bad breaks I wouldn’t chance it. Bruce would take me to this hill and walk me up that hill everyday, I would again stop on several occasions because I was out of breath. He would just say, catch your breath and keep moving forward. When we reached the top every muscle in my body would be trembling. Bruce, would give me a high five and say see I told you that you could do it, and he would extend his elbow and let me hang onto his arm. He would say, now we gotta keep moving because we gotta get home. We would both have a laugh and agree that we still had to keep pushing forward to make it home, no matter the feelings of wanting to stay there on the side of the road and rest, he would make me keep pushing. One day at the top of the hill he said, Tracy one day you’ll be running up that hill if you keep it up. That seemed like forever or never for me, however one day I found myself going on my own. I would become  confidant and strong enough to go on my own and Bruce would walk along side me and clap and smile and tell some of the dumbest jokes. We came to that hill again one day and I told Bruce to go ahead I’ll meet him at the top, I ran up that hill and met my friend that day. Bruce, I’ll meet you again at the top of the hill. I love you my friend. I will miss you everyday.
