Bruce was my friend from the first time we met at Street Level Min. back in the 80s, witnessing to kids on the drag. He so wanted to serve the Lord w/ all his heart. We talked a lot and encouraged each other in the Lord. I can't believe he beat me to heaven. I am looking forward to the next time I see his smileing face!

Bruce was such a larger-than-life guy, always upbeat, always happy to share a joke or a game of darts. I worked with him at West Texas Gas and will never forget what a funny, nice guy he was. My prayers and sympathy go out to you and your family. Bruce was one of the truly good guys.

To the Family of Bruce Edwards: Bruce was one of my most precious students at Permian in the HECE work program. He brought joy to teaching each day and made me want to be a better teacher. In later years, I was boarding a SWA plane and there I found my favorite student bringing a smile to others as he did with me for those wonderful years at Permian. Sorry to say, I cannot come to the service due to a shoulder surgery but I will be in prayer for your family as you celebrate Bruce's short lived life. God's many blessings to all of you in your time of sorrow. Glenda Carr, 45 Troon DR, Odessa, TX, 432-362-8335

As a police officer at Midland International I made great friends and friendships over the years. And Bruce is one of them. He always had that bright smile and his thunderous laughter whenever I was around him. Life is so uncertain in this uncertain world, but God has him now in heaven which is eternal and I know Bruce is happy and laughing with the others that have gone before. Rest in peace friend see you on the other side.

All of us from Ridgedale street as so sadden by the passing of Bruce. I can still envision him running around the yard and climbing on the roof of the family home. Dave and Suzanne were wonderful neighbors and we have many great memories of all the kids. It's pretty sad to go to Mom's (she still lives on Ridgedale) and seeing the empty house. Our prayers are with the family at this time.

Til then, we just have to KNOW that God loves us, and we love you two very much.The last time we saw Bruce, he surprised us outside Southwest airlines departure gate, with arms wide open & big hugs for us before we got on the plane. He'll be missed.Our love & prayers for you two each day in the coming weeks.God Bless, Norm & Lynn Runnels
