<div>I am so sad to share with you Bruce was admitted to the hospital for a stroke on July 12th and due to complications with his cancer, subsequent strokes, and fungal meningitis he was unable to recover. Bruce passed away peacefully Monday July 28 surrounded with love by his family and friends.

<div>All of the funding raised here will be used for medical expenses and keeping our bills paid. We are eternally grateful for your support. We hope you will share this fundraising campaign with others and invite you to follow Bruce’s journey to full healing on the Caring Bridge: <a href="https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/brucehecksel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/brucehecksel" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/brucehecksel</a></a>

<div>..... 2022

<div>Bruce was diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer in Aug 2022  Regular updates about his condition and treatment can be found here: <a href="https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/brucehecksel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/brucehecksel" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/brucehecksel</a></a> While this diagnosis has been shocking, Bruce is remaining positive and full of gratitude and love for his family, friends, fans, and all of those in his support system.

<div>Bruce is a full-time musician and artist. If you’ve heard Bruce play then you already know that his guitar is like an extension of his body and soul. His guitar brings him, me and audiences, amazing joy. Together, we have been entertaining audiences and sharing art around the world for 25 years, typically playing over 200 shows a year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to this newly diagnosed medical condition and treatment, we have been unable to perform or travel like usual and sadly must cancel all but a few local concerts for the summer. The result is a significant financial strain from the added months of concert cancelations. With our livelihood on hold and mounting medical-related expenses, we need your help.

<div>All of the funding raised here will be used for medical expenses and keeping our bills paid while Bruce focuses on treatment and healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One of our most popular songs is "Anything is Possible" and Bruce's spirit for life truly embodies this song.
