Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, Bruce had previously lived in Pahokee and Jupiter before relocating to the Okeechobee area. He was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and proudly served our country in the Vietnam War. Bruce retired from Bell South as a service technician.
Bruce was deeply involved in his community and cherished his connections with both his church and extended social families. He was a member of the Church in the Woods in Okeechobee as well as the Cypress Hut Eagles 4509 and the VFW Post 4423. Bruce enjoyed hunting as well as fishing; however, his greatest love was his family.
Bruce's legacy lives on through the impact he made on the lives of those who had the privilege of knowing him. The memories, lessons, and love he shared will continue to resonate in the hearts of his family, friends, and community for years to come.
He is survived by his sons, Erik (Amy) Konrady and Kurt (Meagan Biggie and sons) Konrady; grandson, Joey Konrady; granddaughters, Chloe and Emma Konrady; great-granddaughters, Karleigh and Kyleigh Konrady; brother, James (Bonnie) Konrady; nieces, Jamie (Graham) Phillips and Gretchen Konrady, and his best friends, Zandra and Don Bell. Bruce is also survived by his cousins and extended family members, who will continue to cherish his memory. In addition, like Willie sang, Bruce will always be fondly remembered by “All the girls he loved before...”
Bruce was predeceased by his parents, James and Margit Konrady; his brother, Thomas Konrady; niece, Amoni Konrady; and grandson, Kristian Konrady.
