Bruce McLENNAN Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Bruce, a beloved partner, father, and grandfather. Bruce left us peacefully on Friday, October 25, 2024, at Rowena Jackson, surrounded by the love of his family. He was born on November 13, 1945, he was 78 years old. Bruce was more than just a father; he was a friend, a mentor, and a steadiness in all our lives. His laughter filled his home, and his wisdom shaped our paths. As a devoted parent and friend, he showed us the true meaning of love, always putting his family first. Bruce leaves behind his cherished partner, Lorraine; his beloved sons Neil, Mark, Brent, and Tony; and his treasured stepdaughters Tina and Peti, along with their partners. To his grandchildren - Cameron, Hayden, Holly, Lucy, Abigail, Emma Jane, Samantha, Aaliyah, Hannah, Izak, Courtney, Aoife, Marea, and Nathan - he was a jokester, a supporter, and the coolest grandpa anyone could ask for. His legacy lives on in these beloved grandchildren and his great-grandchildren, who will carry a special piece of his heart. Friend to the mother of his sons the late Yvonne. Cherished son of Gordon* and Elizabeth* McLennan. Loved brother and brother-in-law of Malcolm*, Marion, Irene, Ruth*, David*, Heather*, Ross*, Janet* and Gloria.
