1965 – 2025

Bruce Simpson died as the sun was setting on a beautiful August day in the loving embrace of his family. Bruce was gentle, patient, funny, empathetic, and kind to everyone he met. He was a loving husband and best friend to Christine and a devoted dad to Hannah and Lili.

He will be missed by his father James, his brother David (Dee), his sister Anne (Paul), his brother-in-law Andrew (Iwona), his nieces and nephew Abbie and Georgia, Madeline and Luca, and Maya and Ben, his dear friend Tim and many more much-loved friends. He was predeceased by his mother Jacqueline.

Bruce was a dedicated teacher of English to adult newcomers for many years and a kindergarten teacher at Bellmoore School for many more. He was a rock star, a songwriter, an artist, an advocate and an author who cared deeply about the world and his community.

To honour Bruce’s memory, we invite you to walk, run or wheel in your community’s Terry Fox Run, an event that was dear to Bruce. If you are local, his family welcomes you to join them at the Dundas Driving Park as members of “Team B” at 9:00 am on September 14, 2025. You can find details of your community’s event at run.terryfox.ca. We hope that wherever you participate, you hold Bruce in your heart.

To share memories of Bruce, please email his family at rememberingbrucesimpson@gmail.com.

Bruce wishes gratitude and peace, health and love to everyone he ever knew.
