Daniel Bruce age 39, passed away on July 30 ^th , 2022. Daniel was born on Nov 5 ^th to David Bruce and Dee Ann Hacker in Hot Springs South Dakota. Daniels biggest strengths included putting his family first, having a huge heart and not being afraid to work hard when it came to providing for his family. Daniel would give you the shirt off his back if you were in need. He was generous to a fault. He loved his children with all his heart and this love was extended to his nieces and nephews. Daniel had an amazing sense of humor and an infectious laugh and could make every person smile and laugh in the room. Daniel was able to strike up a conversation with anyone in a room. His hobbies included mastering the art of grilling a good piece of meat and gardening. He even took to raising ducks and chickens in the recent years and when the dog next door got out and killed his chicken named "Nugget" he was heartbroken. Daniel was very courageous and wasn't scared to take jobs he didn't have training or experience in – he just knew he could do it. Even though Daniel had some tribulations in life he never let them or their consequences keep him from chasing his dreams. He will be truly missed by the many people who loved and were closest to him.

He is survived in this world by his children Garrett Bruce of Cheyenne WY, Danilyn Bruce of Gillette WY,  mother Dee Ann Hacker (Marv) of Hot Springs SD, father David Bruce (Teri) of Deadwood SD, grandparents Gerald and Delores Bruce of Rapid City SD, sisters Elizabeth Thomas of Albuquerque NM, Rebecca Pirnie (Tony) of Gillette WY, Victoria DeSersa (Steve) of Sturgis SD, Erin Wilson (Nick) of Valparasio NE, Mackenzie Livingston (David) of Wahoo NE, Kelley Higgins of Gillette WY, brothers Trevor Kennon (Morgan) of Lincoln NE and Julian Love (Anna) of Fremont NE.
