Bruce Christopher Trace

I woke up this morning thinking of Chris, wishing I could text him to check in after all these years. What a bright light he was. I remember his laugh and colorful descriptions of things and focused approach to the projects we worked on together on the Mid South District Youth Adult Committee. Sending love to his family this morning, wanted to let you know that he’s loved and very much missed by a childhood UU friend living in Texas.
With love,
Rebecca

Having lunch at Milk & Honey, a place Chris introduced me to, around the corner from his apartment on Farragut... can't believe a year has passed... coming up on what would have been your 30th birthday. i wish you were here... i miss you.

I am sad to learn today of Chris' passing. I remember him, from my days on the Mid-South District Board, as a dynamic, strong, and intelligent young man with a passion for justice. I am certain that the world is a better place for his all-too-brief presence here. May you continue to be blessed by his legacy.

My heart is heavy with sadness today as I just now learned about Chris' death. I have many fond memories of Chris from when he was in DC and we had just reconnected via facebook in January I believe it was. I was looking forward to seeing him again soon. I cannot even begin to imagine what you, his family and other friends, must be going through. My sympathies are with each of you and I will have many fond memories of Chris. Thank you!

Dear Family & Loved Ones of Chris,
I was deeply sadden to hear about Chis. I got to know him at First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia were we served on some ministry projects together. I took a liking to him right away and admired his thoughful approach and dedicated engagment. We discussed his interest in going to seminary and when I did enroll, he was supportive and encouraging. I enjoyed teasing him on his Starbucks addiction as I never saw him with a cup in hand. I last saw him at a...

Dear Bruce, Jacqueline and Holly, Alan and I remember Chris as a serious boy who although he was younger than our children always seemed just as mature. We enjoyed talking to him when we met him outside your house on our frequent walks in Northwood Lake. He was interested in everything. And I remember one time that he spent a good deal of time talking to our son Lance at a math department picnic--something about science and computers--even though Lance was in college and Chris was a good ten...

Bruce, Jackie and Holly,

I was so sorry to hear the sad news about Chris, just yesterday, even after I had sent out the news about the seminar. My heart aches for you all.

I worked with Chris at the American Friends Service Committee. We worked in different departments and our paths did not cross everyday but I remember his very special sense of humor and his kindness.

Holding him and his family in the light, AC
