It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joseph “Joe” Bruce of Cranbrook, BC. formerly of Stephenville, Newfoundland. Joseph was born on April 13, 1949, in Stephenville and died on August 18, 2026, at the age of 77.

He is survived by five daughters: Kari-Ann (Terry) Butler, Cosette Kehoe, Angie Bruce, Sherri Bruce, and Denika Payne; and one son, Jason Bruce. He is also survived by his brothers Jack (Sadie) Bruce and Felix (Mary) Bruce, as well as many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. He was predeceased by his father and mother, John and Bertha Bruce of Stephenville, and his three sisters: Ida Sell, Bridget Clay, and Monica Butler, and most recently, his brother Michael Bruce.

The family would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the nursing staff at Joseph Creek Care Village in Cranbrook, BC, where Dad lived out his remaining seven years of life.

A private celebration and interment will take place at a later date.
