It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Bruce Brand who left us far too soon on January 2, 2026. Born on July 24, 1964, Bruce led a life abundant with love, laughter, and admiration from all who knew him.

Bruce graduated from high school in Purdy, Missouri, in 1982 and went on to achieve many notable accomplishments, among which joining the esteemed 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army stood out. His indomitable spirit, coupled with his honesty and distinctively jocose demeanor, won the hearts of his comrades, friends, and family alike.

Those who survive Bruce include his beloved daughters, Savannah Brand and his stepdaughter McKenzie Brand, as well as his cherished son, Brendan Brand. He also leaves behind his siblings Harry (Sue), Linda (Tim), Marine (Martie), James, and Charlie Brand, each of whom will miss their brother immensely. Bruce was predeceased by his parents, Kathleen and Eb Brand, and his late brother Bill Brand.

Bruce's life was a testament of courage and genuine, sincere affection, and those fortunate enough to have known him will forever carry the imprint of his extraordinary character in their hearts. His absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his memory will always invoke smiles, even amid the tears.
