Bruce and I were in the same grade from elementary through high school and I have nothing but pleasant memories. He had a great sense of humor, was very smart, always kind and helpful to others and everyone thought so. My condolences to his family, I'm so sorry for your loss.

His Love for his Mom and Sister was Special and Obvious! My Heart breaks for Karina and Lauren and all that loved him! I can only imagine the Beauty of Heaven! ✝ Save a place for me!

Bruce Alan Petty, 40, of Sanger, peacefully passed away in Denton, Texas, with his family at his side on February 26, 2026.
Born in Denton, Texas on April 26, 1985, Bruce was the oldest child of Karina Tucker and Joel Bruce Petty. He attended school in Sanger and was a graduate with the Class of 2003. He was a member of the First Baptist Church in Sanger and was employed as a Risk Management Property Inspector for P2 Risk Management in Fort Worth.
Bruce was known for his patience, strength, and calm spirit. He was a natural peacemaker and deeply loyal to his friends and family. With a dry sense of humor and a gift for teaching, he had a way of making complicated things understandable. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed time at the gun range, deer hunting, and offshore fishing. He was also a devoted Dallas Stars fan. Bruce loved to read—especially mystery and action thrillers—and was known by many as “the human Google.” Once he learned something, he never forgot it. He also enjoyed playing video games with his friends.
Above all, Bruce loved his family. he was a devoted son, grandson, brother, but most importantly, he was the best “Uncle B” to Luke, Sam, and Reese, a role that meant the world to him.
Bruce was preceded in death by maternal grandparents, Bobby and Janis Tucker, and paternal grandparents, Estil and Wanda Petty. Remaining to cherish his memory are his mother, Karina Tucker of Sanger; father and stepmother Joel and Rhonda Petty of Meadville, MS; sisters, Lauren Williams and husband Andy of Sanger and Joanna Petty of Meadville, MS; and brother Clint Petty of Meadville, MS. Additionally, he is survived by grandmother, "Mimi" Carraway as well as many aunts and uncles.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday March 14th at 1:00 pm at First Baptist Church in Sanger.
Services are entrusted to Coker Funeral Home in Sanger. Please share a memory or offer condolences to the Petty Family in our online guest book.
