Bruce A. Kiefer

Bruce Kiefer was born on January 8, 1955, in Newark to Suzanne Fulinello and Artie Kiefer. He passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by the loving family who meant everything to him. Bruce was the proud father to Bruce Jantella, Shannon Kiefer, Louis Kiefer, Nicole Mindo and Christina Jusulavage, and an even prouder Popsy to Ethan, Elizabeth, and Avery and Papa to Aniyah, Julian, Joshua, Jeremiah, Jason, and Ariah. He was a devoted brother to Debby Miele and Vickie D'Agostino, as well a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews.

A man of many talents, Bruce could often be found landscaping a yard, cooking up something delicious in the kitchen, or casting a line as an avid fisherman. He also had a special love for his many fish tanks, which he maintained with the same patience and care he gave to the people around him. Bruce had a wonderful sense of humor and truly never met a stranger. Whether you needed a laugh, a ride, or a helping hand, he was there. Known for his generosity and quiet kindness, he regularly stocked the local food pantry and made himself available to help neighbors and friends whenever they needed it. His family would like to extend a special thank you to the compassionate teams at BoldAge PACE, Jersey Shore University Medical Center, and Jersey Shore Post Acute Rehabilitation and Nursing for the care and dignity they provided during Bruce's final days. Bruce will be remembered for his humor, generosity, and the simple way he made people feel welcome wherever he went. His presence will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
