Bruce Edward Base passed away peacefully at his home in Rich Hill, Missouri, on March 29, 2018. He was the youngest son of Gilmer Lee and Alice R (Black) Base, born on September 29, 1963 in Butler, Missouri. He attended Rich Hill High School, later getting his GED. Shortly after completing his education he began a career as an auto body-man, where he worked out of his own shop in Rich Hill. He also worked as a shuttle driver for Ford Motor Company for many years. In 1995 Bruce settled down with the love of his life, Jennifer Bain, at their home in Rich Hill, Missouri, where they lived until she lost her battle with cancer in 2017. To this union one daughter was born, Karly.
Apart from his family, the great love of Bruce’s life was motorcycles.
He deeply enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson on warm spring days all over the countryside. He was an extremely caring spirit, who always asked about everyone and took care of his family. Bruce was an avid fan of the saddest country music produced and later in life began listening to gospel music as well. He will be truly missed by his friends, family, and all that had the privilege of knowing him.
He was preceded in death by his wife Jennifer Bain; his father, Gilmer Base; and a stepson Casey Bain.
Bruce is survived by his daughter Karly Alexander (Seth), 2 sons, Zack Base and Jade Ellis; a stepdaughter, Sarah Hood; his mother, Alice Koehn (Archie); 2 brothers, Steve Base (Kelly) and Loren Base (Teresa), and one sister, Almeta Goossen (Orlando); along with many more family and friends.

The second surgery was a success. The doctor said he was able to reattach the nerve in my right arm using donor tissue, which prevented him from having to cut into my leg and borrow nerves from there. The doctor said I have a pretty good chance of regaining full use of my hand, but it will take around 12 months to fully see if it worked or not.
I would also like to take a minute and express how overwhelmed and blessed I am to have have so many people in my life that care so much about me and my family. The generosity and kindness we have received has been more than I could’ve ever dreamed of. The Love you guys have shown me is what I use as strength to get through this ordeal.
I wish I could thank everyone individually and spend time with each and everyone of you. I really don’t have the words to describe The love and generosity we have been shown. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
