He was born on November 12, 1950, in East McKeesport, Pennsylvania, to the late David and Mary (Cowan) Bevan. Bruce was a Pattern Maker for General Motors, retiring after 35 years of service. He enjoyed passing his time by fishing, boating, or visiting auctions trying to find that elusive item he just had to have. Most of all, he treasured spending time with his family.

He was a fantastic uncle who loved spending time with his many nieces and nephews.
