He had been a resident of Truth or Consequences for 51 years. He moved to Truth or Consequences from San Diego, California, when he started his career as a Border Patrol agent and retired from the Border Patrol August 1997.

Bruce was preceded in death by his father, Floyd and his 2 sweet wives- LaVon Goad and Cookie Goad.

Bruce might have been born and raised in San Diego, California but he considered himself a T or C native son. As a small boy Bruce always dreamed of being a cowboy. When he moved to T or C, he discovered his cowboy paradise so after he retired from the Border Patrol he started to learn how to cowboy. He also found the two loves of his life here. Bruce’s son recalls his father telling him, LaVon was the love of my life and Cookie was his best friend and he was so fortunate have been married to both. His laughter was contagious, and he was a blessing to all who were lucky enough to know him.

A celebration of Bruce’s life will be held in mid-July, more details to come. All we can say at this time is that it will be a blast!
