Bruce Messling Obituary
Bruce Edward Messling took his final breath on August 2, 2025, leaving behind a legacy as unforgettable as his personality. Born on September 2, 1961, Bruce was a rugged soul with a sharp wit, a love for good music, and a knack for stirring things up. He lived life on his own terms — unapologetically and with fire.
Bruce had a few kids who inherited his rebellious spirit and his impeccable taste in tunes. Whether cruising in his black Monte Carlo or lighting up a smoke, he was always true to himself. Loved by many, misunderstood by others, Bruce made sure no one ever forgot him.
We’ll celebrate Bruce’s life on September 6th @ noon honoring the man, the myth, and the music that fueled his journey. May he be rolling in peace, forever riding the highway to hell.
Please contact his daughter's regarding the specifics of Bruce's Celebration of Life at [email protected].
