Bruce D. Wiggins

The angel of eternal life, rest, and peace came to lift the spirit of Bruce D. Wiggins on September 6, 2024. Bruce was born on October 3, 1968 to the late Johnnie B. and Sadie J. Wiggins. He was blessed with sisters Marlena (Rick), Nicole, Sheila (Roman) and brothers Kelly, Aareck & Jay.

He grew up in the Colonial Gardens neighborhood affectionately called "49" of Gary, Indiana attending Kuny Elementary, Bailey Middle, and Lew Wallace High School. After earning a high school diploma from King, Bruce enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, completed training at Camp LeJeune, and developed unique skillsets that contributed to his longevity in diverse environments.

If you asked him where he's from, he'd tell you 5th and he was never too far from friends Chris Youngblood and Orlando Watson. Much like his father, Bruce enjoyed being under the hood of a car, buying & selling cars, and riding motorcycles. Much like his mother, he welcomed a competition of Bid Whist or Dominoes especially with quality music over good food. Bruce loved watching karate movies and riding alone. He would be a listening ear for hours and then pass along wisdom he learned the hard way. Spending time with his grandchildren made him most happy and he will be missed dearly.
