Ellinger Morns the Loss of Bruce Wayne Kubena

Ellinger mourns the recent and sudden loss of longtime resident Bruce Wayne Kubena. Bruce passed away on Sept. 30, 2024.

He dedicated many hours and volunteered to the Ellinger Volunteer Fire Department, Ellinger Chamber of Commerce, St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Hermann Sons Life, and Fayetteville Knights of Columbus. Bruce is survived by his wife Denise, daughter Michelle, brother Billy, and mother-in-law Helen Wied.

Fayetteville Propane was Bruce’s most recent employment, and his past times included being outdoors, tinkering with his truck, home projects, and helping others. Let us all remember Bruce with his service to the good of the community.
