Bruce Alan Denlinger

Bruce Alan Denlinger 57 of Beavercreek, Ohio was called home to God on Wednesday February 26th 2025. He was reunited with his beloved mother Judy Denlinger, his dad Larry Denlinger and his baby brother Doug "Dougie" Taylor as well as many cherished family members and friends.

He leaves behind his siblings David Denlinger (Lynn), Kevin Newman (Laura), Kerry Newman (Kara), and Kristal Newman Johnson. His Father and Stepmother Paul and Sue Newman and many cousins nieces and nephews. The many days they spent fishing, laughing, and causing neighborhood mischief together made for some incredible memories that will never be erased. 

Bruce loved many things in this world but nothing brought his life more joy or fulfillment then the time spent with his three little girls Amanda (Austin), Kaitlynn, and Rhiannon; who he sang to, laughed with and taught valuable lessons to in the most fun and beautiful ways. He was their guiding light and anchor. He was fortunate enough to gain a son Austin Wright through marriage who he enjoyed many moments fishing, laughing and planning life with. 

When reflecting on the beautiful life Bruce lived it is important to know he was a Marine and extremely proud of his status. Often talking to his children and grandkids about the things he did, the sights he's seen and the many brothers he made along the way.

But when he was home raising his kids or spoiling his grandchildren Braden(12), Brooklynn (8), Soda(7), Andrew(5) and Noah(4) he was best remembered as their Spiderman and Protector. He was also a master wizard, a Shaman, a painter and a singer. 

Bruce spent so much of his time being one with nature and taught his kids and grandkids to do the same, often by taking them along on his many adventures. He was loved for his gentle nature, incredible personality and witty sense of humor. He was a spiritual yet simple kind of man and will be greatly missed by all the lives he touched throughout his years. 

We love you dad.
