Douglas Bruce passed away peacefully at St. Catharines General Hospital on Saturday, April 19, 2025, at the age of 83. Beloved husband of the late Fran Bruce (2015). Loving father of James (Azza) Bruce, Michael (the late Christine-2022) Bruce, Darren (Krista) Bruce and Melanie (James) Bergman. Caring grandfather of Liam, Olivia, Malcolm, Ethan, Lauren, Madeline, Ian, Genevieve, Calvin, Sally and Nigel.
Doug was born in Toronto and graduated from Etobicoke Collegiate Institute before attending Western University, where he proudly played varsity football.
He was the beloved husband of Fran for 47 years. Together, they built a life filled with love and adventure, living in Niagara-on-the-Lake, then Huntsville, before eventually retiring in the Niagara region they both held dear.
In his later years, Doug made his home at Heatherwood, where he found great joy in connecting with his half-siblings and in meeting Connie Clements, the apple of his eye.
The family extends their heartfelt thanks to the residents and staff at Heatherwood, as well as the dedicated teams at Hotel Dieu Shaver and St. Catharines General Hospital, for their compassionate care and support
