Bruce Call Barber

Bruce Call Barber, 84, passed away on July 5, 2026. Bruce was reliable, genuine, and had love for all things outdoors.

Bruce was a rock for those around him—level-headed; you could set your watch by his routine. He loved his family and keeping them safe always came first to him, as well as making sure they always had what they needed.

Sharon Clegg was a senior in high school when they met and it was love at first sight. They have 5 children Troy (Jolett), Brett (Karen), and Greg; his daughters, Shalese, and Jennifer (Charles Payan).

For 43 years, Bruce worked at R.C. Willey. He was thorough and dependable. And during that time, missed very few days. Bruce’s interest and boundless curiosity meant that if he liked something, he would master it by reading and delving into subjects until he understood them from every angle.

His passion for English Pointer dogs brought him a lot of joy. His prize dog, Alkali Joe, rose to be a national champion in field trials. Bruce was an avid snowmobiler. And one year, captured the Whiskey Hill snowmobile climb championship. Bruce loved the outdoors and snowmobiling, four-wheeling, backpacking by horseback, and golfing. He could be found at garage sales nearly every Saturday. Not necessarily to buy but always to talk to the people. Bruce love pheasant hunting and was an expert marksman. He also spent a lot of time racing his three and four wheelers on the sand dunes.

Bruce loved cars! He was quick to forgive a dented fender but leaving a door open was something you better not do! Quirks like this brought laughter to those who knew him best.

Bruce became a significant figure on TikTok that Sharon was part of. People soon became to love him as much, if not more, than Sharon for his willingness to support her work with his overall engaging personality.

During the family parties, he loved controlling the pinata. He always did the dishes and the clean up while Sharon enjoyed the company.

Bruce loved God and taught his children to do the same. He and Sharon served a mission to Quincy, IL. This was a special time for both of them.

Bruce will be remembered for his rock-solid nature, his generosity of spirit, and the love that he had for his family and friends. He was a hard worker, loved adventure, and having fun.

A viewing will be held at Glen Eagle 1st Ward, 3426 W Augusta Dr, Syracuse, UT 84075, on July 11, 2026, from 11:30 to 12:45. Funeral services will follow at the same location at 1:00 pm.

Services will be streamed live on the Russon Mortuary and Crematory facebook and on this obituary page. 

Bruce’s legacy will not fade; his memory is written in the hearts of all who cherished him—a life well-lived under wide Utah skies and among those who mattered most.
