Bruce is certainly going to be missed. My last memory of him was riding his John Deere down the road scraping the weeds alongside the road day before he passed. We will definitely miss seeing him riding his horses and pushing his cattle up the road. Jamie we are truly sorry 20 loss of your beloved Bruce. David and Laura Lee

Bruce is a tremendous loss. We need 100% more people like Bruce in our world. He radiates respect, honor, trust and truth, and an epitome of hard worker, good father, husband, and friend. There is no better definition of a good man than Bruce Kent.
