Kenneth’s Obituary
Kenneth Larry Bruce, long time resident of Grimshaw, Alberta passed away July 19th, 2023 at the age of 56 in the Slave Lake hospital with his wife, children and family by his side. Ken as we know him was a beloved father, husband, friend, cook extraordinaire and avid hunter/fisherman with a love for all things outdoors. Ken fought a hard but short fierce battle with cancer. Ken was determined as ever to kick cancer’s ass, he remained strong throughout it all.
Ken was born November 7, 1966 in Rocky Mountain House to Ronald and Sheila Bruce (Huson). Ken was the youngest of 7 siblings. His father worked in a lumber mill in Rocky when he was born and his mother was a stay at home parent raising the children on the family farm outside of Rocky Mountain House. Later on in years Ronald took a position as a guard at the Peace River Correctional center in 1972 and moved the family north to Grimshaw, Alberta.
A few years later the family moved into the Town of Peace River where Ken attended public school. Tragically Ken lost his father at the young age of 10. That left his mom to assume the role of both parents raising the family. Ken entered into the workforce working as a wireliner for Carnwood. Later he would get his ticket for Oil and Gas operator where he worked in the oil field assuming managing operations. Ken met the love of his life Theresa Posegate and married June 8, 1996. They welcomed their first child a son Caelan Bruce January 14, 1996 and daughter Jade Bruce August 26, 1998. They raised their family in Grimshaw, Alberta. Once retired Ken and Theresa had a passion for travel and loved spending time traveling to Mexico, Cuba and driving across the US camping in the back of their Jeep.
He is survived by his wife Theresa Bruce of 27 years and his two children Caelan Bruce and Jade Bruce. His sister Yvonne (Wendell) George and his many nieces and nephews and extended family.
Ken is predeceased by his parents Ronald and Sheila Bruce, brothers Donald Bruce and his wife Irene Bruce, Terry Bruce, Ronnie Bruce, sisters Laurie Samms, Janet Pelletier and his father-in-law Burl Posegate.
A celebration of life will take place at Spruce Point Park Group campground on August 12, 2023 at 3:00pm for Ken’s favorite pastime: sitting around a campfire and bullshitting while surrounded by friends and family. The family requests that in place of cards or flowers, that people bring your favorite dish (serving up to 4 people) for a potluck. All the better if you’re one of the few lucky souls who has one of Ken’s elusive recipes, maybe bring one of his favorite dishes. He will be dearly missed by all those who knew him.
