Bruce Alfred Chase age 70, of Sachse, Texas, passed away July 7, 2024. He was born on May 1, 1954, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to James Matthew Chase and Edith Bernice Chase. He was raised in Johnstown where he attended Conemaugh Valley High School and graduated in 1972. He attended Penn State University and ICM School of Business, where he obtained his degree. Bruce and Tracy later moved to Dallas, Texas where they lived for a short period before settling in Sachse, Texas. Bruce had a lifelong career as a Network Engineer and contributed to numerous innovative projects.

Bruce was a devoted member of the First Baptist Church of Hamilton Park where he served as a member of the Male Chorus for many years. Later, he joined as a member of One Accord Men’s Chorus.
