OTTAWA - Bruce Brickner Bohrer, age 63, died peacefully in his home in the presence of family, on November 14, 2014, in Ottawa, OH, following a long battle with cancer.
He is survived by his wife Marilyn (Schnipke), his sons Jesse James (Rachel Landwehr) and Justin Cody (Lindsey Hansen), daughter Chelsea Susanne (Rudy Beining), granddaughters Elizabeth Margaret, Lillian Healani, and Ella Marie, grandson Braxson Bruce, his mother Doris, brother Kevin, and faithful dog Star.

Bruce was born on November 8, 1951, in Tiffin, OH, to parents Raymond and Doris Bohrer.

Bruce was a great family man who expressed his love unconditionally and was always forgiving and understanding. He married Marilyn in 1974 and the couple had four children together, including Patrick "Boone" Bohrer, who died in infancy.
He enjoyed golfing, fishing, the beach, boating, and spending time with his grandchildren. His friends and family will always remember him for his fortitude and good humor.
