Bruce R. Marr (66) passed away peacefully at his home in SanTan Valley, Arizona after a short battle with a rare kidney disease. In his final hours he was surrounded by his loving wife, family, friends and caregivers.

Born August 19,1955 in Everett, MA to Donald (deceased) and Frances Marr, his family moved to Bedford NH in the late 70’s. He started his career in the Amherst School District as a maintenance supervisor and continued his role until he retired in 2012.

Bruce’s personality was structured with traits such as being kind hearted, loving, resilient, selfness and humorous. He would light up a room with his presence and could always make someone laugh. In his youth he was an avid hiker, summiting many of the mountains within New Hampshire to include Mt. Washington. He loved to go camping with family and friends and enjoying the scenic sights and sounds of the White Mountains. He also loved playing hockey as a young man, he would often fill the goalie position reminiscing in his adult years of the saves he had made. Bruce enjoyed watching the Boston Bruins and the New England Patriots. His favorite players were Bobby Orr, Raymond Bourque and Rob Gronkowski among others. He also had a great interest for anything to do with trains and television shows relevant to his time of youth.

Bruce is remembered as a wonderful son, husband, father, step-father, brother, uncle and friend.
