Bruce Haas passed on from this life quietly in his own home on
"Mondee" August 17, 2020. Everyone who knew Bruce knows about his one
of a kind personality. Under that thick skin was a kind heart that
loved his family.

"He who dies with the most toys wins!" is the motto he loved and
laughed at over the years. He certainly lived up to it in his short 71
years with us. He loved to collect toys of all sorts over his lifetime
from the motorized (motorcycles, remote control planes, dune buggies,
and boats) to electronics (video game consoles, computers, tablets,
and big screen tvs) to his hobbies (bowling gear, billiards tables,
golf clubs, hunting/fishing gear, and even farming)!

Bruce was born on March 9, 1949 in Los Angeles, CA, but lived part of
his childhood near Parker, Arizona and became an Arizona "native" for
the last 20 years of his life after retiring from the Bakersfield Fire
Department as an Engineer. While enjoying the "dry heat" in Lake
Havasu City, he helped form a motorcycle club and was passionate about
riding his Victory whenever he could.

He was a Vietnam Veteran and was awarded 2 Bronze Stars and a Purple
Heart for his brave and honorable service to the country he was
passionate about. Bruce is survived by 3 sisters, 1 brother, and 4
children (Shannon, Tania, Van, and Amanda). He was also a grandfather
8 times over and loved to talk about the legacy his descendants will
carry on.

Thoughts and condolences may be sent to Bruce's family at
www.mohavememorial.com. Arrangements were place in the care of Mohave
Memorial Lake Havasu Mortuary.
