Bruce Egan Obituary
February 3, 1952 - January 28, 2024
Chapel Hill, North Carolina - It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Bruce Egan.
A loving son, brother, uncle, husband, father, and grandfather and a devoted friend, Bruce brought light into the lives of everyone who knew him.
Whether at UNC as Director of the ITS Response Center, playing bass in his bands Amber Alley and HWY 54, writing his weekly column for the Chapel Hill Herald, rebuilding his Triumph TR7, coaching his children's sports teams, building mobiles for his yard, or traveling the world, Bruce always found time to listen to and support those around him.
Bruce is predeceased by his wife of more than 30 years, Christine, and survived by his brother Wes, cousin Bob, children Emily and John, and their families.
He will never be forgotten.
Memorial services to be announced at a later date.

A true modern Renaissance man. I consider myself lucky to have known him and luckier still to call him a friend and mentor.
