Bruce Danforth Yenerich
March 14, 1942 - February 19, 2025

A resident of Wickenburg for almost 50 years, Bruce Yenerich was a man
who was committed to serving his community, church, and family. He was
well loved by all and did not know a stranger.

Bruce was born in Illinois on March 14, 1942. He moved to Wickenburg in
1976 to work for Valley National Bank. He was employed by Valley
National Bank/Bank One and Bank of America for over 40 years. He served
his community at Kiwanis, Calvary Baptist Church, and Wickenburg Chamber
of Commerce. After retirement, Bruce volunteered for Habitat for
Humanity for 10 years and served on his neighborhood HOA. Bruce was
passionate about genealogy and was a member of Sons of the American
Revolution and Founders and Patriots of America.

Bruce was a member of Calvary Baptist Church for 48 years and served as
a Trustee, Youth Leader, and Treasurer. He served as head of the
missions team and was a self-appointed greeter for many years. He loved
to greet both newcomers as well as regular attenders. He enjoyed his
daily outings to the Post Office where he would talk to all his fellow
residents. His friendliness and heart for service came from his love of
his Savior, Jesus.

Bruce and Kay celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with all their
family this past summer. Bruce dearly loved his family and friends and
always loved when he was surrounded by them.

Bruce is survived by his wife, Kay Yenerich; sister, Joan Evans (David);
his daughters, Amy Schorey (Jeff) and Joy Wright (Tim); son, Jay
Yenerich (Jennifer), ten grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at Calvary Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday,
March 30, 2025. Please join us in a celebration of life. In lieu of
flowers, please buy a random stranger a meal.
