He loved to make people laugh, and truly enjoyed wrestling with and picking on his little sister, Amy. He was very protective of those he loved.

Bruce was a Tugboat Trip Pilot who loved the river and loved spending his Sundays in church and being outdoors with his kids.

Bruce was proceeded in death by his maternal grandfather, Philip Dwayne Collins, one sister, Jamie Alexander, and stepfather Bernard Jusselin. Paternal grandmother Peggy Alexander.

Those left to cherish his memory are his children, Zachary, Skylar, and Brayden, Mother Karen Collins Alexander Jusselin, of Elmer, La., His father Bruce Alexander Sr. of West Monroe, sister Amy Collins Laborde (Blake Miller), nieces Baylee, Aleigha, and Jacie of Sulphur, La. His maternal grandmother Frances Lorraine Collins, Aunt Phyllis Lambert (Bennie), cousin Jason Lambert and Uncle Jerry Collins all of Elmer, La.
