Bruce Thurber

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bruce Thurber, loving husband of Sherry Davis, father of Isobel and Finn Thurber on March 1, 2024. He will be deeply missed by his blended family Nicholas (Tori) Davis, Paul (Kim) Davis and their children Elizabeth and Parker.

Bruce is survived by his sisters Patti (Scott) Powell, Kathleen (Felix) Thurber-Fridman, Mary-Ann Thurber, sister-in-law Pam Thurber as well as numerous other family and friends.   

Bruce was predeceased by his brother Ian Thurber and parents Bill and Winnie Thurber.

Bruce was passionate about physical activity, finishing numerous Ironmans, marathons and races that showcased his dedication to fitness. Exploring various sports was another one of his interests, with ventures into activities such as bowling, skiing, hiking and bodybuilding. Sharing these experiences with his wife Sherry and their family brought him immense joy, particularly during their travels and moments spent in Canmore. Bruce cherished the companionship of his three dogs, often dedicating time to walk them at the nearby dog park. Professionally, he had a successful career as an engineer, culminating in the ownership of his own engineering company, BDT Engineering Ltd. Working alongside his dedicated team was a source of fulfillment for Bruce. He also volunteered his time in the community serving on the Municipal Planning and Lethbridge Police Commissions, and as a past Rotarian.

All are invited to a Memorial Service that will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday, March 8, 2024, at MARTIN BROTHERS RIVERVIEW CHAPEL, 610-4 STREET SOUTH, Lethbridge, Alberta.

Flowers are gratefully declined. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to the Lethbridge Animal Shelter, https://www.communityanimalservices.ca/adoptions
