Bruce Rasmussen

Bruce Daniel Rasmussen, a devoted father and husband, passed away on August 24, 2021 at the age of 67 in the town of Bartlett, Illinois.

Bruce was born to his parents, Daniel and Lois, on November 11, 1953 and was raised in Racine, Wisconsin. Bruce then went on to complete his degree in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which enhanced his love of literature and reading, eventually leading to writing a book himself. He found the love of his life, Julia Rasmussen, who he asked to dance with at a wedding where they laid eyes upon one another for the first time.

Bruce found passion and talent in the sales industry working across the country for multiple companies. Throughout his life, he found peace casting a lure and waiting patiently for a fish to bite at the family’s common vacation spot in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin. Bruce had an uncanny ability to know the uncommonly known, excelling in trivia, as well as providing witty comments to anyone who knew him. His upbeat, fun and loving personality completed whatever room he was in.

Bruce is survived by his wife, Julia Rasmussen of Bartlett and his son, Lucas Rasmussen of Chicago, Greg; a brother in-law, Margaret; a sister in-law, Taylor; a nephew, Emma; a niece, Andrew; a nephew, Nick; a nephew, Emily; a niece, Logan and many other family and friends.

A memorial service is scheduled for 10:30 am on August 29th, 2021 at Countryside Funeral Home on S Bartlett Road in Bartlett, Illinois. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Salvation Army.
