Bruce was born in Albany, GA to William Burton Conine and Francis Elizabeth McCoy. He was a 1976 graduate of Waco High School and then went on to Texas Tech University where he was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon.
He was a resident of Waco for over 30 years where he raised his beloved family. His most joyful days were spent at the baseball field, track meets, and the occasional dance recital. His children were his pride and joy and kept him on his toes. He was an avid Texas Longhorn and Dallas Cowboy fan and was always able to muster up enough energy to yell at the TV, even in his last days.
Bruce’s legacy will live on through his children and grandchildren: Brandon and Maura Conine of Cincinnati, OH; Brady Conine of Rochester, NY; Brittney and Bryce Duke of New Braunfels, TX; and Kelsey Conine and Jason Wood of Leadville, CO. He was a proud grandfather to his five grandsons: Liam and Jude Conine, Hank Duke, and Reilly and Jaxon Wood.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Burt and Fran Conine, and his brothers, Brad and Bill.
A visitation for Bruce will be held in the parlor room (Fellowship Hall entrance) of Columbus Avenue Baptist Church in Waco, TX on Saturday, December 7th from 10am-12pm.
In honor of Bruce, we invite all of those who loved him to become registered organ donors. You can do so at organdonor.gov
