It is with a very heavy heart that we need to share that Bruce has passed at 12:41 am 9/9/2023. He was surrounded by loved ones and is now our angel up above.
The family will be getting things planned and let everyone know what they are.
Please pray for our family and his friends as he touched so many lives with his loving personality and his amazing musical abilities on the drums.

New update dr said 24 hours to 48 hours is all he has left.

I have an update.
He was rushed to the hospital by ambulance today. We are at St Luke’s South off of Metcalf.
We have been told he is sepsis. His blood count is 31,000. We have been told that he could have hours or days but leaning to hours. If anyone wants to see him they need to come they would need to come soon.
His cancer cells are bleeding out into his body which is causing the infection.
Please pray for our family as this is very hard on all of us.
If anyone reaches out to Jana know that she might not answer and can message the family on here or call us.

Update…..
Dad is not doing well. He is in a lot of pain and can not walk on his own. He is very weak and his feet are swelling. When he talks it is very soft spoken you can hardly hear him. His mouth is dry. And he stays in bed most of the time unless we make him go to the dr for an appt.
We have requested to have a nurse come in and help while we are working and waiting to see what they say.
We are needing to get him some supplies to help with his showering and lifting him so please keep sharing the go fund me page.

He has a dr appt today at 2:30 so I will update again once we talk to the dr
