Celebrating the life of
Theodore "Ted" James Bruce
February 14, 1957 - August 12, 2025
Theodore "Ted" James Bruce, 68, of Savannah, Georgia, passed away peacefully on August 12, 2025.
Ted was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He is survived by his devoted wife, Zeny Bruce; his son, Josh Bruce; his daughter-in-law, Cameron Bruce; and his cherished grandchildren, Addison and Connor Bruce.
Ted began his career as a dedicated Respiratory Therapist, serving patients with care and compassion for over 20 years, most recently at Memorial Health. After retiring from the medical field, he followed his entrepreneurial spirit, creating an internet-based greeting card business aimed at helping people stay connected through thoughtful messages and heartfelt moments.
Before his civilian career, Ted served honorably as a Navy Hospital Corpsman, a role that reflected his lifelong commitment to helping others. He was also a proud 4th Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus, living out the values of charity, unity, and fraternity in both word and deed.
Ted had an extraordinary gift for connecting with people—he could befriend anyone, anywhere. His genuine kindness, quick smile, and generous spirit will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
A rosary service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 17, 2025 at Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Hodgson Chapel followed by a visitation until 4:00 p.m.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, August 18, 2025 at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church.

I met Ted over 40 years ago. He literally never changed. He was always friendly, kind and kept a big smile on his face. He was so proud of himself when Zeny went out with him and he married her. He was just made to be a husband,a father and a grandpa. He will be missed by everyone that knew him!!! God bless his wonderful family.

I am so sad to hear that Ted has gone to be with the Lord. I worked 3 to 11 shift with him for many years at Memorial. We were always great friends and I have missed those days. May God comfort all of you and grant you His peace.

Brother Ted was one of the finest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was a good an upright man, a faithful husband and an outstanding father and grandfather. Everyone loved him and the man did not have an enemy in the world. The world is a lesser place without him. I will miss him. Rest in peace my brother I know you are with our Lord and Savior.

I'm sorry Zeny. Y'all had a long time together. What an eventful life! Lucky Ted...He was proud of his son, lived to see grandchildren he adored, had a fulfilling work history and he had the good fortune to marry you. I feel like you and Ted can both look back and say "We did all right". Congratulations, Zeny...job well done. Lucky Ted
