Bruce N. Lee

Bruce Neal Lee passed away October 20, 2024 in Omaha, Nebraska at the age of 73 years. He was born June 8, 1951 in Shenandoah, Iowa.

Bruce is preceded in death by his parents, Betty and Elvis Lee; and twin sister Bonnye Bramble. 

He is survived by his children Beth (Nick) Sanzone, Brandon (Sara) Lee, and Carmen (Jason) Lemen; grandchildren Jack, Emma, Harper, Alyssa, Aubrey, and Easton; brother Robert Lee; sister Barbara Kelley; and nieces, nephews, and other family.

Bruce was a beloved father, grandfather, and twin, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and strength. Bruce was devoted to his family, always placing their happiness at the center of his life. His pride in his children and grandchildren was immeasurable, and he never missed an opportunity to celebrate their achievements and support them in every way.

A lifelong fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes and Cleveland Browns, Bruce's passion for sports extended beyond his love of the game. He was an exceptional athlete himself, earning honors in both baseball and football during his youth. His competitive spirit later translated into a successful career as a top-notch salesman, where his charm, dedication, and sharp skills set him apart in his field.

Bruce's journey was marked by profound personal growth, as he proudly celebrated 34 years of sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous. His commitment to helping others, especially those struggling with addiction, was a testament to his big heart and unwavering compassion. His warmth and generosity touched the lives of many, and his memory will continue to inspire all who knew him.
