In memory of

Bruce Scott MacIver

February 25, 1958 -  September 26, 2019

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bruce Scott MacIver, on September 26th, 2019, at the age of 61. He leaves to mourn his immediate and loving family, Lesley, Alexandra, and Cameron, his mother Mariette (late father Cook), his brothers Bob (Rasa), John (Lyne), Andy (Monique), nieces, nephews, in-laws and so many friends. He will always be remembered for his caring ways, his soft eyes, his reaching out and support for others in times of distress, his willingness to travel to be wherever he felt he had to be and do whatever he felt he had to do. He was a life-long friend to many. We will all delight in the memory of his smile and laugh, his legendary sense of humour, his musical talents (drums, piano, guitar and songs), his interest in all sports and, in particular, his favorite team.....the Chicago Black Hawks. Lesley, Alex and Cameron are together recounting with bittersweet joy, the fun and loving times that they shared as a family. He was such a proud father. Alex and Cameron were his passion and ultimately his mission in life. His children were always foremost in his thoughts, hopes and dreams. In return, their obvious devotion, respect and love for their Dad are powerful testaments to his legacy. Rest in peace, dear Bruce. Until we meet again...
