Neal Bruns Obituary
Neal was a kind, loving, patient, generous, humble, gentle, humorous, and tender-hearted soul.
With his unique talents and creative vision, Neal was a commercial photographer for over 35 years. He founded his business, Capture Photography, in 1999 and it has continually flourished for nearly 20 years. His passions were invested in his love for photography, restoring vintage cars, and playing drums in his band.
Neal is survived by his wife and business partner of 26 years, Shannon R. Bruns; daughters, Aubree Bruns and Samantha Bruns; 5 grandchildren; sister, Diane (Bob) Freeman; and a host of relatives and friends.
A private service will be held at Greenlawn Memorial Park.
Celebration of Neal's Life will be held with family, friends and colleagues at Union 12 Event Hall, on February 16, 2019, 2 to 6pm, 7563 East Lincolnway Road, Columbia City, Indiana 46725.
Our family asks that memorial gifts be made to Visiting Nurse, 5910 Homestead Rd., Fort Wayne, IN 46814

Shannon, our deepest sympathies to your family. We dont read newspapers so I just found out, so sorry we missed memorial by a few days. Neal was a wonderful person, it was a joy and privilege to know him. Our time at PhotoEFX was the best time of my career in photography.Sorry we lost touch.
