Our amazing husband, father, and grandfather passed peacefully to a grand reunion with his parents, grandparents, and loved ones on the other side of the veil early Wednesday morning, March 16, 2016. He successfully completed his passage through mortality after a long battle with cancer.
Bruce was born February 4, 1942 in Murray to Alvin B. Lloyd and Lorna Mae Walker.
He married the love of his life, Verna Robbins, on August 19, 1959 in the Salt Lake Temple. Bruce and Verna raised five children: Steve (Vicki), Lynda Collman (Jim), Kaelyn Lewis (Perry), Brett (Sherrie), and Kristin Prescott (Rex). They have nineteen grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren, with two more great-grandchildren on the way.
Bruce worked hard his entire life in many different professions, including concrete worker, draftsman, cabinet maker, computer programmer, and computer analyst. He always provided well for Verna and his family.
Bruce loved hunting, fishing, traveling, camping, and woodworking. He could fix anything. He was often affectionately referred to as "MacGyver" because he could fix anything with duct tape and bailing wire. Bruce loved sports and supporting his kids and grandkids in all their activities.
He loved serving in the LDS Church, including serving as a High Councilor, YM President, Bishop, and Temple Worker.
We will miss you so much, but we know you are now able to get around and serve again. We look forward to seeing you again. We love you.
Bruce is survived by his wife of fifty-six ½ years, five children and their spouses, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, three brothers, and two sisters. He was preceded in death by his parents and two great-grandsons.
A viewing will be held from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 20, 2016 at Goff Mortuary, 8090 South State Street (100 East). Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, March 21, 2016 in the Midvale East Fourth Ward Chapel, 87 East 7100 South. A viewing will be held prior to the services at the church from 10:00-10:45 a.m.
Burial will be at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 East Dimple Dell Road (10600 South).
