John's obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Allen Bruder, fondly known as JB by his friends, who left us on January 16, 2025. John was born on August 26, 1964, and his presence was a light in the lives of all those fortunate enough to know him.
John is survived by a loving family including his father, Charles A. Bruder, and his mother, Sandra Bruder. His siblings, Cindy Bruder-Lewis, Ricky Bruder, James Bruder, Charles B. Bruder, and Daniel Bruder mourn the loss of a brother whose eccentric nature caused him to isolate himself from them. His cousin, Melisa Coffman, will also hold fond memories of John.
John was predeceased by his cherished grandmother, Davada Coffman, his grandfather, Herbert Coffman, and his uncles, Steven Coffman and Daniel Coffman. We are certain they have welcomed him into eternal rest with open arms.
John was a unique individual, with an eccentric personality that was all his own. His kindness and caring nature set him apart in a crowd and earned him the respect of many. He cherished his solitude, yet he had a lasting impact on those who had the opportunity to get to know him. John believed in the virtue of being himself, a lesson many of us learned from him.
His legacy is of unparalleled dedication. John was passionately committed to his career for 16 years. Even as illness struck, his loyalty to his profession never wavered. This commitment is one of his most significant accomplishments, a testament to his drive and determination.
John leaves behind a legacy of generosity and kindness. He will be profoundly missed by his parents, siblings. His memory will live on in their hearts, and in the hearts of all he touched throughout his life.
May his soul rest in peace and his lessons continue to inspire us. John "JB" Bruder, you will be missed.
