Remembering Bruce Stewart

It is with great sadness that we report the loss of a good friend, longtime CRA Member and colleague in the roofing industry, Bruce Warren Stewart.  

Bruce Stewart (66) passed away peacefully at home and surrounded by his family on July 18, 2022.  Bruce was born on January 16th, 1956, in Denver, Colorado to Herbert E. Stewart and Pauline E. Stewart. Later he was joined by four sisters Paula Sue, Nancy, Paula Mae and Carla. He married Vanessa Marie Schwindt on August 16, 1975 at Notre Dame Catholic Church in Denver, Colorado. Bruce and Vanessa then started a family and have two sons, Jacob and Joshua. His sons have added to the family their wives Adrianne Aleman and Nicole Eigenberg. They have added three grandsons, Brodrick, Caleb tm and Vaughn.

Bruce worked for 21 years at Academy Roofing for his friends of more than 40 years, Curt and Suzie Boyd, which he absolutely loved. Bruce retired from Academy Roofing July 5, 2022. Many of you may also remember Bruce's time with Carlson Systems where he previously gave 25 years of service. He was very active and supportive of the CRA. Bruce never missed a golf tournament except for once or twice and that was because he was at another tournament. He also rarely missed a trade show, awards dinner or membership lunch. Such a wonderful smile and great conversations!

When not working or with his family, he was often traveling and loved to play golf.

Bruce loved life and lived it to the fullest. Perhaps, best known for his infectious personality, he brought a smile to the faces of all with whom he came in contact. It was not uncommon for Bruce to make a lifelong friend after only just meeting them. His children and grandchildren were his proudest accomplishments and his unconditional love for them was evident in all he said and did.

Bruce is survived by his wife, Vanessa Stewart, of Parker, Colorado, his son, Jacob, 43, and his wife Adrianne, his son, Joshua, 41, and his wife Nicole. Also, his mother Pauline Stewart, his four sisters Nancy Stewart, Paula Sue Stewart, Paula Mae Kosloski, and Carla Hornung.  

May Bruce rest in peace. He will be greatly missed.
