Douglas Philip Bruce, 61, of Ocala, Florida passed away Sunday, March 29, 2020 of cancer. Born in Orlando, FL to Harold Philip and Wenona Lynn Bruce, Douglas was a graduate of Oak Ridge High School in 1977. He was an avid scuba diver, pilot, airboat captain and fisherman, and he was known for his compassion and generosity, his inimitable sense of humor and his incredibly positive demeanor particularly in the face of his prolonged illness.
Doug was preceded in death by his mother Wenona Lynn Bruce in 2017. He is survived by his loving father Harold Philip Bruce; his brother and sister-in-law Gary and Beverly Bruce of Williamsburg, VA; his sister and brother-in-law Stacy and Barry Wiles of Land O Lakes, FL; by his loving nieces and nephews Brittany, Zachary, Erin, Abby, Cameron and Tristan; by his great nephews Gabriel and Marcelo, and by a wealth of friends who loved him dearly.
A celebration of Douglas’s life and legacy will be held at a later date.
