Bruce Winter

James 'Bruce' Winter passed away peacefully at the age of 80 on March 28, 2025. 

Born in Nashville, TN, in 1944 to Voncille Kidd Winter and Milner Beeman Winter, Bruce moved to Mobile, AL, with his family as a young boy. He attended Azalea Road Junior High and W P Davidson High School. Bruce earned a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Alabama. He also served with the Alabama National Guard. Bruce retired in 2010 from Teledyne Continental Motors after a career that spanned over 35 years. He was a fitness enthusiast who loved to work out at the gym and could often be seen jogging the sidewalks of Mobile. Bruce loved music and was always ready to dance; in later years, that love of music was demonstrated in church worship.

He is survived by one daughter, Michele Winter (Brent) Culp, three brothers, Jerome (Ginger) Winter, Stan (Tricia) Winter, Richard (Darlene) Winter, his sister, Nancy (Gary) McGuire, nieces, nephews, and loving friend Gloria Barnette. He is preceded in death by his parents.

Pallbearers will be his nephews Stan Winter Jr., Richard Winter, Jr., Michael Winter, Rob Winter, Shane Winter, and friend Amon Walker.

The family will receive friends Wednesday, April 2, 2025, from 9 am to 10 am at Mobile Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, with graveside services to follow at 10:00 am in Mobile Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers the family encourages those interested to make a donation to the Alzheimer's Association.
