Bruce Jacobson Obituary

October 29, 1949 - January 21, 2025 Bruce Jacobson, a beloved husband to Judy for 41 years, proud father to Alex and David, brother to sister Roxanne Warlow, and loving grandfather to five wonderful grandchildren, passed away after a courageous battle with esophageal cancer.

A U.S. Marine Reservist and dedicated public servant, Bruce spent 24 years working for Metro (MTA) as a Maintenance Supervisor and proud union member.

He was a world traveler who explored the globe on 50 cruises with Judy. He was a passionate foodie and wine enthusiast, as well as a lifelong Green Bay Packers and Dodgers fan.
Known for his big personality, sharp wit, and even bigger heart, Bruce loved his family deeply and brought joy to everyone who knew him. His strength, kindness, and legacy of love will forever be remembered.
