The passing of Bruce Bauer of Metropolis, Illinois leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on June 8, 2025 at the age of 73. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid Bruce farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Bruce is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Leon Bauer and Florence Bauer; and his brothers, Brian and Bradley. He is survived by: his cousins, Pamela Kerley Lee (Robert) of Newnan, GA and Tom Kerley (Lynda) of Paducah, KY.

Memorial contributions may be given in Bruce's name to Sully's Billiards, 318 Scott Street, Metropolis, IL 62960 to donate toward the free kids meals they provide every Tuesday in the summer (write Kids Meals in the memo) or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

“Bruce was our buddy. He always had a joke or something funny to say each time we saw him. He was a consistent presence at Sully’s and we looked forward to seeing him each week. He liked to tell stories and was a skilled pool player. We sure will miss him. -Rebecca & Aaron”
