Bruce Finney Obituary
Bruce was born to Kenneth Eugene and Wanda Irene Finney on March 6, 1956 in San Bernardino, CA. Shortly thereafter, Bruce and his family relocated to Paradise where he enjoyed the rest of his life. Bruce's greatest joy in life was raising his four children with Debbie, his former wife of 18 years. He was a graduate of Paradise High School, Class of 1974. Bruce was known for his outstanding talent in the game of football. He received numerous awards and was recognized for his desire and devotion. Among all of his accomplishments he will be remembered most for his extreme love and spirit of the game.
Graciously, our Lord has taken Bruce home where he can spend eternity with his mother and father. Bruce is survived by his beloved children and grandchildren; brother, Dale (Lindsey); sisters, Pamela, Kimberly (James) and Djuana; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at the Paradise Alliance Church on Clark Rd. in Paradise on Monday, January 19, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. All who knew Bruce are welcome to join in the celebration of his life. Bruce will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

Bruce and I reconnected this past year, we were trying to get a class reunion going, since we had the best class of all of Paradise High. I recall getting into an accident one night, my car slid off the road, had to walk forever to get to a house, and after a phone call, Bruce had lined up all the guys to get my car out and get me back on the road. He was always willing to drop anything to help. I will miss him
