Dear sweet Debbie and family,
The wonderful pictures of your husband and families show a beautiful life full of happiness, commitment and love.  Since we were kids, you and I have always been connected by a sincere friendship. Your family have always been so precious to me and my family... Thank you god for the Brunetti family,  they are some of the finest people on earth. I am so grateful to know them. My prayers are endless and so is my love for you and your family.

Bruce was an amazing man, husband father and friend! He was just so cool and fun to be around. His smile and personality were contagious and a joy to be around. Bruce was the life of the party! It was an honor to have been blessed to have known him. It was a pleasure to have worked with him for many years and to have played fantasy football with him! We spent many phone conversations talking and walking him through setting up his team or making changes to his team and I actually looked forward to that.  Bruce was just overall a great guy and I am going to miss him so much! I am going to continue to allow Bruce to live in my heart as I cherish the times we spent together and just remember his smile or think of what he would say at certain times! I believe it was one of his sisters-in-law that quoted Galatians during the service talking about the fruits of the spirit and that Bruce was all of them and I have to agree and that was why he was so special to everyone. 

Bruce, I will miss you brother but I pray that your legacy will live on and pray for God’s hand of protection to be upon your family and I pray for His Peace and Comfort to be upon them. Until I see you again brother, you will forever be in my heart and I thank God for the time he had blessed me with you!

My deepest condolences to the family!
Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV
“May The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’

With love, prayers & blessings,

From the time I met Bruce he has been a gentle giant with an overwhelming smile and personality. We became friends at first smile and grew closer through the years. He and my late husband had similar personalities and when we  all  got  together it would be a time of on the floor laughter. Bruce and Debbie attended and celebrated many major events in my life and his presence would lift the spirits of everyone. Bruce truly loved his family, he gave Love and was Loved by many,. Although he is no longer with us , we can find Joy knowing that he is in the presence of the Lord. Rest In Peace friend, thanks for the beautiful memories. I offer my deepest sympathy to the family with much Love.

Pam and I give our heartfelt  condolences to the Visser family.  Although our memories fade over time, I distinctly remember Bruce as one of the most fun-loving, positive, genuinely  happy guy's  I have ever known.  He always had a smile on his face and was always asking about "others" rather than talking only about himself.  We will miss him and so will society.  He definitely left a mark and created a better world for all of us.  Our prayers are with you.

Uncle Bruce I will love you forever and ever! You were the best uncle a girl could ask for and I am going to miss your big smile and that big bear hug that comes after.  I’m also going to miss coming over and hearing you yell “Gigi Boo!”.  Thank you for all that you did for me and I know you’ll always be with us! I will see you someday! 

Love your Gigi Boo 

My wonderful big brother…40 years ago my beautiful sister introduced us to you and it wasn’t that long  before you demonstrated to us girls a brothers integrity , a brothers honesty, a brothers compassion, a brothers protection, a brothers guidance, a brothers understanding, a brothers strength, and a brothers unconditional love.  In the Bible Galatians 5:22 is made up of the following nine qualities..love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Our wonderful brother you demonstrated all of them.
What a blessing and honor to have loved you and to have been loved by you!
Love you so very much big brother,
 ~”Josey Whales”


My handsome most loving, fun, classy beautiful spirited, patient, kind, brother!! I always wanted a big brother, and our amazing God knew what he was doing and gave me the absolute BEST big brother when I was in high school! I will cherish all the fun memories we all had together from dancing at weddings, doing the jello, the worm, adoring you on stage as you sang “taking care of business”, poker games, college meetings, finding something funny to laugh at in every situation and embarrassing Deb to the point she walked away from us. Our funny hand gestures that only we knew what they meant and were only funny to us!  Our “who cares?!?” comment at random times that would make us bust out laughing. I’ll miss hearing you say “hey little meemers”!  I will never forget all of our fun times together! Love you BEST BRO! 💜

Oh Uncle Bruce. This doesn’t seem real and I wish it wasn’t… The nicest, most caring man I have ever known. To be able to call you my uncle and share such good and funny memories with you is such a blessing. God knew our Brunetti family needed a Bruce. You’re a true role model to all the men in our family, how one should treat his wife and daughter. I adored yours and aunt debs relationship and everyone should strive for that type of love. Thank you for being such a light in our family. I’ll miss your beautiful smile and sense of humor. Family get togethers won’t be the same without your silliness, I love you with all my heart and think of you daily. I’ll miss your phone calls during the woman college World Series for softball. Ill miss your very sleek sense of fashion. You definitely were always best dressed and had the best style. I could honestly write books about you. You know how much you meant to everyone whether it was family or friends.. You were and are still such a loved man. I know you will always be with us🤍  I love you uncle, so so so much. I can’t wait to reunite someday🤍

Love your JBD always and forever XOXO

I knew Bruce at Rishel Junior High and South High . I think the thing that comes to mind when I think of Bruce was what a genuinely nice guy he was, I don’t think I ever heard him say a bad word about anyone . He always had a smile on his face and had a ready ear to listen. Those are qualities that usually stay with a person as they go on in life I’m sure they did with Bruce. My deepest sympathies to his wife and family

Bruce was a one of a kind great friend and brother in law, generous. Loving, supporting, ...as far as I know, he was never  a musician, per se,  but at family gatherings, he and I would talk music for  hours!   He knew SO  much about music, popular  oldies , rock, county,  jazz, new age,  concerts, etc..  ...he never ceased  to amazed me.  And I've  known music backwards and forward,  since I was in diapers!    A loving dad, husband,  uncle, brother ,friend, ...a Very special gift to those he touched!  NEVER once  did he ever speak  of any one with disdain,     I hope I see you again Bruce!!   I'll  hold your friendship close always!!

I first met Bruce when I transferred to Rishel Jr. High. It's always difficult to change schools in the middle of the year, but Bruce befriended me and made my transition easier.  Although we went our separate ways in high school, Bruce remained a friend and someone that I appreciated and, literally, looked up to. 

My condolences.

I was sorry to hear of Bruce‘s passing we called him the rookie I was his roommate at Fort Louis college for three years three of the most fun years of my life Chuck Pierce

Thank you Uncle Bruce,
For your perpetual love, handsome smile, gentle presence, fun-loving demeanor, caring embraces, gracious understanding, the nickname little Pooh Bear, for playing with Ellie, and most of all choosing to make joyful memories with everyone around you. 
To the most wonderful man, you will always be loved for the love you always gave. Thank you, Love your Little Pooh Bear.

My condolences to the family of Bruce, I was saddened to hear of his passing. I met Bruce and the Visser family, through his sister Bev as she and I worked together. Bruce you will be missed but not forgotten. May you Rest In Peace my friend 🙏🙏

When Bruce worked at KG Men’s store many years ago, I went there and bought a jacket from him for my hubby and Bruce’s uncle Jerry.  It was a bit too short for Jerry so  I claimed it and have worn it ever since.  It hangs in my closet ready for the cold weather.  Most comfy jacket ever with some patches, etc.  Just about every time I wear it I think of Bruce helping me pick it out.  Will wear it if we can make it to his service.  Love you Bruce. Aunt Illa and Uncle Jerry

Bruce Visser -  " The Candle"
When Bruce entered my life it changed i saw the light, he lit up the room, he was the light.  When he walked into a room he lit it up.  When you met him he lit you up. If you needed guidance he could provide the light. 
Bruce was my friend and he is the light.
" The Candle"
RIP

My family and I are so sad and shocked by the passing of Bruce.  He was by far one of my most favorite people.  He was so easy to be with, funny and fun.  He always made you feel welcome in his presence.  A good man.  Much love to his family and all that those close to him who will miss him dearly.

My sincere condolences to the family of Bruce.   I met Bruce at South High in 1970 and we became friends.  We really got to know each other even more when my brother Dino came to South the following year and they played basketball together.  I never missed a game, some of us would even go to the Springs or Pueblo for games to support our team.  He was always fun to be around and had a great personality.  He will truly be missed.  God bless you Bruce, I am so glad I had the chance to know you.
Jan
