Bruce Hadland Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Bruce Hadland has gone home to be with The Lord. He passed peacefully on Wednesday, January 27, 2021. Bruce was born in Tallahassee, Florida on June 23, 1954 and was the oldest of four children. Bruce on occasion would look or sound like a grizzly bear, but in reality was just a great big teddy bear. He was very passionate about all animals, but especially dogs. He was known to rescue baby squirrels, opossums, and others which he nursed back to health and gave back to nature. Although he worked mainly in the construction and painting fields, Bruce was also quite talented in working out electronic and mechanical problems as well as most household situations. Self-taught in computer technology, he set up a home computer network system. Bruce also had an artistic side, especially in his earlier years. He loved to draw people and animals in particular, and others frequently asked him to do portraits for them. Having re-committed his life to God, Bruce was a member of Lake Ellen Baptist Church and felt especially close to Deacon Mike Davis and Pastor Keith Wallace. Bruce was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne Hadland and JoAnn Roberts Hadland. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Wendy; brothers, Michael (Rene) and Gary (Deborah); sister, Pam; 5 nephews and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. David Conn and Kimberly Crum with Bevis Funeral Home of Crawfordville are assisting the family with arrangements. (850-926-3333, www.bevisfh.com)
