Bruce Wayne Lang died doing what he did best, taking care of everyone else. During life, Bruce was a volunteer firefighter, EMT for 30 years, husband, father, and mechanic extraordinaire. Bruce is remembered for finding solutions to problems, like when he made an ambulance from a hearse for his community. He drove it with his wife in the back, providing EMT services for several years before the town could afford a proper rig. He was an exceptional trainer. Bruce believed in always doing what you could and not walking by the problem, a philosophy he always encouraged others to embrace. Bruce enjoyed the mountains and the peacefulness they gave. His wife is still his greatest passion.
