October 7, 1962 – August 6, 2026
Bruce Norris passed away peacefully at Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, on Aug. 6, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. He will be greatly missed by many. He was a quiet disciple in the community where he resided, Carbondale, Colorado.
He was kind, generous, loyal and humble. In truth, he was a private person, but everyone he knew he considered to be a friend.
Bruce could often be seen walking his four-legged companion around the town. He loved all his dogs! He enjoyed getting out in the mountains to see the beautiful country he lived in.
Besides fishing and working on cars, Bruce was an avid Denver Broncos fan. Although he didn’t attend many of the actual games, he never missed one from his living room.
Many people knew Bruce from his place behind the counter at Carbondale Car Care. His longtime friend and employer has said Bruce was the face and the voice of the company. His calm demeanor and wealth of knowledge were undeniable. His service at that very desk began in 1985 with a previous employer.
He leaves behind his mother, Arlene June Norris, and many dear friends. He was preceded in death by his grandmother and grandfather. who he had such fond childhood memories of, and his brother.
In lieu of flowers or monetary gifts, please give to a local animal shelter in Bruce’s name.
A celebration of life will be held at the Crystal River Baptist Church, 2632 Highway 133 Carbondale, Colorado, on Oct. 10 at 1pm.
