Bruce Alan Ward Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford Bruce Alan Ward, Sr., 55, passed away in Oxford, MS, on Thursday, January 14, 2021. Bruce was born on September 6, 1965, to the late Terry Ward and Donna Kyle Ward Bishop in Memphis, TN. Bruce was a very boisterous person with a heart of gold. He was larger than life and led with an open and honest personality; he lived life to the fullest. His family will always remember him "lighting" up the room with unfiltered humor. Bruce loved to dress sharp and support the Ole Miss Rebels. One of his favorite places to be was Sardis Lake taking in the views or catching fish. He loved his "Babies" whether it was his children, family, friends or acquaintances. Bruce was a creative man and jack of many trades. He was a part of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers and also a member of the Iron Workers Union 167 for most of his career and skillfully helped in the construction of many projects across the U.S. including the Pyramid and Hernando Desoto Bridge in Memphis, TN. Bruce was also an Owner/Operator for years and transported goods across almost all 48 continental states. Bruce is survived by his four children, Bruce Alan (Shawna) Ward, Jr., of Jonesboro, AR, Brittany Ward, of Jonesboro, AR, Ross Ward, of Jonesboro, AR, and Ryder Ward, of Bruce, MS; three grandchildren, Felix Ward, Mia Jae Rosemary, and Jasper Ward, all of Jonesboro, AR; and one sister, Sherry Ward, of Abbeville, MS. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at a later date. Please leave online condolences on the Tribute Wall at www.colemanfuneralhome.com.
