In Loving Memory of Bruce Winston Pickering
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Bruce Winston Pickering on December 30, 2024, at the age of 83. Born on October 26, 1941, Bruce is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Deanna, his two children, Rhett (Nathalie) and Trevor; his granddaughter Olivia; his sister Diane Nelson (Don); nieces, nephews and many dear friends.,
For many years, Bruce faced the relentless challenges of vascular dementia. Despite the difficulties, Bruce demonstrated remarkable bravery and grace, finding strength in the love and support of his family and friends. Even as his memory and faculties waned, his spirit and heart remained strong.
Bruce had a unique ability to light up a room with his infectious and bellowing laugh that could lift anyone’s spirits. Bruce had a profound passion for both golf and reading. He spent countless hours on the golf course, perfecting his swing and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow golfers. His love for the game was matched only by his enthusiasm for a good book. Bruce had a unique ability to connect with people, always ready to share a laugh or a piece of wisdom gleaned from his extensive reading.
One of Bruce’s favorite sayings, “Everybody has good qualities, focus on their strengths and you’ll see their true potential” allowed him to see the good in everyone, whether it was at work or with friends and family. Followed closely by “What are you trying to do… heat the outside?”
Rest in peace, Bruce. Your strength, resilience, and unwavering love will never be forgotten. You will be deeply missed, but your spirit will continue to guide and inspire us all.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you make a donation to your favorite charity in Bruce’s honor.
