1963–2026
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Bruce Wayne Kean of Moncton, New Brunswick, on August 1, 2026, at the age of 63.
Born in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Bruce was the son of the late Raymond and Georgina (Bujold) Kean. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Robertta; his sisters, Deborah, Barbara, and Colleen (Rick); his brothers, Jerry (Wendy) and Evan (Wendy); as well as his many nieces and nephews.
Bruce was a gentle soul with a wonderful sense of humour. He had a way of bringing a smile to those around him and will be remembered for his kind heart, quiet nature, and unique personality.
After many years working in construction, Bruce discovered a special passion for animals. His five dogs yes, five dogs! Of which was a very important part of his life and brought him countless moments of happiness and companionship.
Bruce also had a deep love for trains and everything related to the railway. A proud “Railfan,” he could spend hours enjoying the world of trains, following their journeys and sharing in the fascination they brought him. It was a passion that reflected his curiosity and his appreciation for the simple things that brought him joy.
Bruce leaves behind many cherished memories and will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His gentle spirit, humour, and love for the things that made him happy will remain in the hearts of those who loved him.
There will be no funeral services held at the funeral home.
In memory of Bruce, donations to the charity of the donor’s choice would be greatly appreciated by the family.
Arrangements are under the professional care of Passage Funeral Cooperative, 625 Mountain Road, Moncton, New Brunswick, E1C 2P1, 506-855-1145.

All my heartfelt condolences to his wife and the Kean family. Even though we had not seen each other since our early teen years. I have fond memories of the times we spent during summer trips back home.
All my prayers for his family. Much love.
My heartfelt sympathies go out to the entire family. Bruce was one of my first friends when we first moved to Campbellton. We spent a lot of time along the river and railroad track with Evan. We got in a lot of trouble but they were the best of times. I will always cherish the memories of Bruce. The Kean family was my second family and I grieve with all of them. Rest in peace my friend.
Bruce will be missed by us he always had a smile anytime we were all together for family meals and anything he was asked to do he was always there.
Love Cathy &Gerry.
Going to miss you little brother. We had a lot of good laughs and good times. I’ll cherish them forever. Get some rest. You deserve it.

Sending condolences to Roberta and family.

Rest peacefully dear friend. You will never be forgotten. ❤️ 🙏
My condolences to the whole Kean clan. We met many, many, many years ago when we were kids at Uncle Chip’s house. My Dad was Jerry Kean.
