It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Father, Bruce Edward Stott.
On Monday September 30, Bruce succumbed to his illness, and went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Bruce is predeceased by his wife Darlene and Parents, Edward and Victoria Stott. He is survived by his 4 children, Autumn, Steven, Luke and Mark and grand children, Monica, Nathan, Calyssa, Marie and Clare, as well as his sisters, Barb (Barry), and Gayle (Vaughn) and his nieces and nephews.
Bruce will be remembered for his big smile, his witty sense of humor, and his love for his family and friends.
Save a place for us, we’ll see you soon
~Always in our hearts~

My grandfather was the best grandpa i could ask for. Growing up i’ve always been hanging out at the house with my father and i’ve had a lot of amazing memories. Bruce always used to tickle me, randomly hit my arm or push my head and say “whoops my hand slipped”, it used to always used to bug me but It was our way of bonding. He made me a very special nickname that he would only use, he called me “pinkalinka”. Gump knew how to bug me so he did it every chance he got and it would always somehow put a smile on my face. My grandpa would always try his best to be involved in whatever his nieces and nephews were in. He tried his best to always be there to support my softball and when i had a tournament in July he told me to “kick ass” and that was the last thing he said to me. He was a really big part of my life and has helped me through some tough times and helped me see through a new perspective. Rest in peace

My deepest condolences to Darlene and family.
While I have not communicated with Bruce for years his friendship was never far from my mind. His strength of character will always be one of his defining features.
Bruce is one of those people who really did make life better.

I remember the joy in your faces Bruce and darlene as we visited Steve and Nakita when Marie was born
We all were so happy to see our beautiful granddaughter
Marie is now growing up so fast and was so lucky to have you and Darlene and Steve’s family in her life
We will always be joining together in a special bond having Marie in our lives
Such a wonderful, joyful little granddaughter so sweet so blonde with those blue eyes
I know Bruce will be joined with his lovely wife, Darlene
And other members will come to join and meet him at heaven gate
May God bless all the family at this difficult time
The love of family is so important and when somebody passes, it’s such a difficult time
Also a great time to reflect and remember all the good the funny the little bit craziness that every family goes through
With forgiveness and love always for our differences and similarities
What a great time to celebrate the life and legacy of a great father husband grandfather
Time to celebrate well lived
God bless you, Bruce.

I first meet the Stott family in 1997. I was 15 years old and it was a great experience to become part of the family. Going to church, praying before dinner, going camping as a teenager with the motorhome, trips to Hope to spend time with grandparents, sharing special occasions like Christmas and birthdays. Then as time passes I got the opportunity to have the first grandchild. Monica Blais was born and it started a special relationship with Bruce. Bruce was always fun, acting like one of the kids. He never missed out on being a grandfather. The great memories as laughter, stories and special moments will always remain in my heart. Bruce's was loved by many friends, family, grandchildren and his kids.
Bruce I will never forget all those years together with you and Darlene. Also all the times your door was always open for me to stop over unannounced. Your home was a place where I was always welcome. You will remain in my heart forever. May you rest in peace with no more pain, heartache and sadness. Darlene is waiting there for you!
We will miss you and I look forward to hugging you again. Oxoxo

Bruce and I were co workers. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Please accept my condolences. Bruce had a great smile, a jovial personality and a great sense of humor. I enjoyed working with him. He was a caring and kind man. He served his co workers by taking the shop steward position.
I'm Sorry for your loss.
Sending healing and prayers

Back when we were kids, the best part of summer was the yearly visits with uncle Ed and Aunt Tootsie, Barb, Bruce and Gayle. Picnics at Elk island, trips to Chinese restaurants, playing scrub. Bruce was always so much fun and had the best laugh.
I remember when Bruce met Darlene and she was all he talked about the Summer before they married. They had so many great years together, 4 beautiful kids.. he loved to talk about his grand-kids and tell “Gump” stories.
I am sad that he passed but am comforted that he is with his true love, his brown-eyed girl Darlene again.
My condolences to Autumn and Steven, Mark and Luke and your kids. My love and prayers are with you all.

I have been thinking about Bruce today. I first met Bruce over 30 years ago playing volleyball at Golden Ears Fellowship. Bruce added the “fun factor” to every group he was in. He was one of those people who made you feel good about yourself; he always conveyed that he was happy to see you. I am thankful he was part of my life.

My grandpa taught me everything, but not how to live without him. he showed me the light when i thought there was none. and most of all he is one of the biggest reasons i am the person i am today.
words can’t take the pain away,
nor can they describe the loss of my grandfather.
But i feel peace, knowing he is with the woman he loved the most in heaven.
I love you my Grammy & Gump.
Rest easy 🕊️💔

Uncle Bruce, growing up you were the fun uncle. I always loved when I got to spend time with you, my biggest regret in the past few years has been not coming to see you and the family. Rest in peace and don't have too much fun in heaven without the rest of us ;)
To my cousins and their families included- I cannot imagine to pain and sadness going on. I love you even though we haven't seen each other in way too long. I'm praying and sending all the love and support towards the family right now in such a hard time. Love you all ❤️

Lots of memories my friend, years of camping, playing games, and family get togethers. Those seem like such a long time ago.
This was one of the last times we enjoyed some laughs together. Kapusta!!!
See you when I get there.

When I was younger this is how we spent our summers. With my mom and dad and our grandparents camping and boating. It was always just a great time of family and friends. Dad always went above and beyond for our family. He worked his tail off to provide for us and make sure we were able to be on the lake in the summer. There is so much I could go on about, because he truly was such an amazing man with the hugest heart. I love you dad, you were such a support and you taught me how to adult~even without you. I love you so much ❤️

My Grandfather was such a huge part of my life, he opened my eyes to many different things, he often called me eccentric, and that he saw himself in me.
Bruce was a true friend to anyone who knew him, and we are all better off for having known him.
Rest peacefully my Gump. I love you so very much.
