Born in Kewanne, Ill. to Ronald and Loretta Maddox, and raised in Tooele.
Bruce loved the outdoors, taking pictures and having outings with his family. Bruce worked for the Tooele Transcript Bulletin, ran his own business called Digiprint, and worked as a computer programmer for Detroit Diesel. His long battle and fight for his life was a valiant one.
He married the love of his life and sweetheart Pat (King) Perry Feb. 10, 1987. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple May 16, 2009. Together they raised four wonderful children: Robbie Perry (Tawney), Shane Perry (Mindy), Spring Clements (Tyson), Jimmy Perry. His full time loves were his 18 grandchildren.
Bruce is survived by his wife and children, parents, Ronald and Loretta Maddox of Tooele; brothers Kevin (Jean), Brian (Amy), Ryan (Shelly); sisters Candy Howell (Terry), Dawn Torres (Anthony). He is preceded in death by his brother, Gary Lynn Maddox.
Funeral services will be Thursday, July 23 at 6 p.m. at the Tooele 4th-14th Ward Building, 196 South 200 West, Tooele. A viewing will be held one hour prior to the service. Cremation to follow.
Dawn was my best friend growing up, and I remember Bruce as a young man. I still think about those times often and can't believe it was so long ago when it seems like just yesterday.
I am so sorry for your loss.
