With hearts filled with both sorrow and gratitude, we celebrate the life of Mr. Bruce Joseph Trelly, who peacefully entered eternal rest on July 20, 2026. Though his earthly journey has come to a close, the love he shared, the lives he touched, and the memories he created will continue to echo through the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.

Bruce was born on August 3, 1965, in Rochester, New York, to the late George Joseph Trelly and Mildred (Redsicker) Trelly. From an early age, he possessed a remarkable work ethic, a gentle spirit, and a creative mind that would define the man he became. He graduated from Sperry High School before furthering his education at Auto Body Technical School, where he honed the skills that reflected his natural ability to build, create, and repair with precision and care.

Bruce faithfully worked as a Commercial Furniture Installer with Spectrum Installation, where he earned the admiration of coworkers and clients alike through his dedication, craftsmanship, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Whether on the job or at home, Bruce found joy in working with his hands. His gifts in woodworking, carpentry, and drawing reflected not only his remarkable talent but also his patient spirit and appreciation for creating something meaningful from the simplest of materials.

Outside of work, Bruce embraced life's simple pleasures. He enjoyed fishing, golfing, and spending treasured moments surrounded by his family and friends. A devoted fan of heavy metal and classic rock, his playlists were often filled with the legendary sounds of Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, and Rush. He also never passed up the opportunity to enjoy good Mexican food paired with his favorite margarita. Those who knew Bruce knew that wherever he went, his unmistakable, infectious laugh was never far behind.

More than his talents or hobbies, Bruce will be remembered for the size of his heart. He was a hardworking, kind, humble, and genuinely gentle man whose compassion touched countless lives. He loved deeply, gave freely, and treasured the relationships he built throughout his life. His loyal companion, Rex, brought him great comfort and joy, but above all else, his greatest treasure was his children. Everything he accomplished and every sacrifice he made was rooted in the love he had for his family.

Bruce was preceded in death by his beloved parents, George Joseph Trelly and Mildred (Redsicker) Trelly; his cherished daughter, Sabrina Trelly; and his sister-in-law, Cheryl Trelly.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories his loving children: Andrew Trelly(Cammy), Michael Trelly, Collin Trelly, Lily Booher(JR), and Rose Trelly; his beloved grandsons, Ryker Trelly and Jax Trelly; two brothers, David Trelly (Margie), Mike Burdekin; one niece, Brittany Trelly; and his best friend friend, Scott King; along with a host of cousins, extended family members, dear friends, and all whose lives were forever enriched by his friendship, kindness, and love.

Bruce lived life without pretense. He was a simple man whose greatest joys were found in family, honest work, loyal friendships, and the things that brought peace to his soul. His legacy is not measured merely by what he built with his hands, but by the love he built within the hearts of those who knew him.

As we bid farewell, may we honor Bruce by remembering the laughter he shared, the kindness he extended, and the unwavering love he gave so freely. The next time you hear an Ozzy Osbourne song playing through the speakers, hear the gentle melody of a wind chime carried by the breeze, cast a fishing line into still waters, or gather around with family and friends, pause for a moment, smile, and remember Bruce.
