Bruce H. Gervais

Bruce, Age 78 of Lakeland, passed away peacefully on June 21, 2026 surrounded by his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Edna and Harold; and son, Christopher.

He will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 42 years, Kelly; children, Craig Gervais (Shannon), Jennifer Gervais (Jon Bouma), Gina Gervais, and Tracy Morris (Kenny); grandchildren, Jack, Nathan and Haddie; sisters, Linda Cropsey (Ron) and Bonnie Weber (Gary); brother, Dale Gervais (Joanie); many nieces, nephews, other family, and friends.

Bruce was a hard-working man who had a true love of life. He grew up in St. Paul and graduated from St. Agnes Catholic School. He is a proud veteran of the Navy. Bruce spent most of his successful career working in the restaurant supply industry and along the way he made many lifelong friends. He was married to the love of his life, Kelly, for 42 years. He adored spending time with his 3 grandchildren, Jack, Nathan, and Haddie. He was always telling everyone how proud he was of them. Family was first, always, with travel as a close second!

Bruce, Kelly, family and friends have shared many amazing adventures in the US and abroad. Bruce was also an avid reader. Later in life he found a second home at Candyland to help keep him busy and pay for all his bird food! He always loved those birds and made his very own sanctuary in the backyard. You would often find Bruce resting in the hammock listening to the birds and reading a book. His big heart and huge hugs will be missed by everyone that knew this man.

 A celebration of Bruce's life will be Friday, July 17, 2026, 2:00 P.M. at Bradshaw, 2800 Curve Crest Boulevard, Stillwater with visitation one hour prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred.
