I met Bruce when i was 14 when i moved from Houston to kirbyville. Those first couple of yrs we fought allot. Mainly Bruce and my brother Danny. Teenage boys being teenage boys. But I’ll tell you that after those days we became friends, we were almost inseparable. Bruce has a spirit that drew you to him. His smile was the morning sun on a fall Saturday. His laugh would take away even the worst bad day. To hear it made you happy he was in your life. Bruce and my brother and me grew up together. And then we grew older checking on each other often. We laughed together. We prayed together. We beat ppl up. 🥴 We got in trouble. And we went to church together. Bruce, despite his struggle, loved his Lord. He had a passion for knowing Jesus. Bruce was a firm believer in prayer, fasting and being real with God. He didn’t fake anything. He struggled but he was always honest about his struggle. I lost one of my best childhood friends when he left. Bruce was My Friend. But I Loved him like a Brother. I’ll miss him for the rest of my life. And i count myself blessed to know him. Rest In Peace Sig Luce(Big Bruce). Thank you for everything.
