David Bruce

Minot, ND, passed away

Monday, July 1, 2019 at

his residence surrounded

by his loving family.

Born in Belcourt, ND,

he was the son of Lorraine

Villeneauve. Dave was

placed in the foster care of

Joseph and Irene Bruce,

who became his loving

parents. Dave attended

Minot High School, where

he participated in wres-

tling, which he loved.

Dave met Marlene Short

and together became a

family with her son Kelly.

They also later became

parents to Justin.

Later in life, Dave met

and married Ara Adcock.

They completed their

family with Ara’s two

children, Dawn and Scott.

Dave worked many jobs

in construction, but his

greatest love was being

the Maintenance Assistant

at Somerset Court.

Dave was a former

member of St. Therese,

Church of the Little

Flower. In recent years,

he attended Mass at the

Somerset Court Chapel

with Father Schneider

and Monsignor Senger.

Dave was very proud of

his Catholic faith.

Dave loved fishing and

was proud to show off his

trophies on the wall in his

“man cave.”

Dave will always be

remembered for his kind-

ness, love of his family,

but most of all, his beauti-

ful smile.
