Robert “Bruce” Wallen was born on October 25, 1951 in Lincoln. He passed away peacefully on June 19, 2017 losing a seven year battle with Lewybody/Parkinson’s. Bruce lived most of his life in Lincoln (Raymond for a time) and was a 1969 graduate of Lincoln High. A good union man (U.R.W. Local #286), a good Democrat and just a good guy. Bruce retired from Goodyear after 30+ years. He enjoyed life, loved riding his bike on the trails for hours at a time, grilling outside, doing crosswords, watching “Game of Thrones”, movies, and listening to music.

He is survived by his daughters, Nicole Markwell and her six children of Beaverton, OR and Jessica Johnson of Lincoln; Two brothers, Bill (JoAnn) Wallen of Lincoln and Steve Wallen of Lincoln; nephew, Robert T. Wallen of Lincoln; niece, Lexi Wallen and children of Lincoln.
