AXELSON, Bruce

January 6, 1961 - May 19, 2023

Bruce Axelson passed away peacefully surrounded by family on May 19, 2023, with son Cody and former wife Lindsey at his side, at the age of 62 years in Kelowna, BC.

He is survived by his son Cody; siblings Greg, Debbie, Colin, and Tracy; and his uncle Carl.

Bruce was a good father and caring husband. He was an accomplished musician, playing the guitar and harmonica. He had a great sense of humour and his favorite saying was "Far out!" His favourite hat read "I love guitars and motorcycles and maybe 3 people"

He was a man of tremendous stamina and strength.

He will be missed by many.

Bruce was an extraordinary individual, perpetually adorned with a radiant smile and a gift for laughter. He had an infectious grin and an uncanny ability to evoke an instant smile from anyone fortunate enough to cross his path. Watching him strumming his guitar and playing the harmonica was a joyous spectacle that never failed to captivate me. The void left by his absence will be profoundly felt by countless individuals, myself included. Fond recollections of my cousin will forever occupy a cherished place within my heart.

Although we were not bound by blood, he was introduced as my cousin, much like all the Axelsons who were warmly embraced as part of our extended family. Our family histories have intertwined since my earliest memories. Rest peacefully, dear cousin, for you are cherished and loved by us all. My deepest condolences Cody and to all his siblings. - Wendee (Cote) Preston

So sorry to for your loss. Every time I play Black bird, I think of Bruce. He taught me that song 25 years ago and was always willing to teach me more. He was an amazing musician. Rest in peace Bruce.
