Being a true entrepreneur, Bruce tried his hand at a little of everything. His endeavors included a local t-shirt shop, selling and installing satellite dishes, selling and installing solar panels all over Eastern Montana and a few other things.
Bruce was quite the character with an unforgettable laugh and fun spirit. He valued time with his family and friends above anything else. A close second was spending the winters in Arizona. His last wish that was unfortunately not fulfilled was to have one last trip to the sunny state.
Bruce is survived by several cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Brent and Billy Bannister, many aunts and uncles, and a special cousin who was more like a nephew, Damon Wright.
