Bruce Melvin Zahner

Bruce graduated from high school in 1958 and joined the Navy shortly after, carrying forward a steady sense of duty and commitment that shaped the way he lived and served. Through the years, he was known as a man who approached life with quiet faith, steadfast devotion to those he loved, and a hard-working spirit that could be counted on in every season.

Bruce is survived by his wife, Janet; his daughter, Brenda; his brother, Steve; his sister, Virginia; and his two granddaughters, Karina and Kaylene. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. In addition, he had many friends whom he loved like family, and who will remember him with deep gratitude and respect.

A lifelong lover of motorcycles, Bruce also found satisfaction in time spent tinkering in his shop. He had a practical gift for making things right again, and those who needed something fixed knew they could turn to him—confident he would meet the need with patience, skill, and a dependable willingness to help.

Bruce will be remembered with honor and affection, and his life will be held close by all who were blessed to know him.
