Bruce Neil Tegland passed away suddenly on Wednesday, August 24, 2016 at his apartment in De Pere, Wisconsin.

Bruce was born on September 14, 1950 to Emery and Betty Jane (Hanson) Tegland. He was the only son, and had two sisters. He was raised in Ellsworth, Iowa and graduated from South Hamilton High School in 1968.

He was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church, Ellsworth, Iowa. He was a member of the Army National guard and successfully completed six years. He continued to farm with his father in a partnership with turkeys and grain farming after high school.

He was united in marriage to Karleen Parrish in 1971, of which two children were born, Larissa and Trent. Bruce retired in 1996, and continued working doing factory work. He moved to Wisconsin in 2006 and suffered some health issues and retired from work.

He did volunteer work for his Church. He was a member of the St. Mark Lutheran Church of De Pere, Wisconsin. Being a grandpa to Seth and Luke Feenstra kept him busy. He was active in his apartment complex with Senior Citizen outings too.

His latest and great adventure this year was the Milwaukee Brewers baseball game on August 11, of which he and Trent enjoyed and made great memories.

Bruce is survived by his two children, Larissa (Feenstra) and spouse Steve, and son Trent, both of Wisconsin; two grandsons, Seth and Luke Feenstra; sisters Beverly Gallatin (Howard) of Mahomet, Illinois and Marjorie Evans (Dr. Gary D. Roth) of Fairfield, Iowa. He was preceded in death by his mother Betty; father Emery; stepmother Arlie; grandparents; aunts and uncles; a stepsister and a stepbrother.

A private family burial will take place at Homeward Cemetery in Ellsworth, Iowa with time and date to be determined later.
