Bruce Dixon Boyce's Obituary
Bruce was born in Sumter, SC on January 4, 1950 and passed away in Leesburg, VA on June 6, 2025. During his college years, he became a certified jump master, with more than 120 jumps in his logs. He performed at airshows before serving 4 years in the US Navy, followed by time in the Coast Guard Reserve. Following his service, he became a Property Manager. During this time, he and his wife Cindy were pioneer members of the Community Associations Institute, influencing legislation and education regarding community associations at the foundation of the movement for resident advocation. They founded a Community Management Company together. Later, he taught himself about computers in his spare time, and leveraged that into certifications in order to shift to his final career of IT Management.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Lucian and Anne Boyce and stepmother Mattie Boyce. He is survived by Step-sisters Elaine and Linda; his devoted wife, Cindy; his three children, Robert, Katherine ("Scottie") and Matthew; and one grandchild, Robert's child Rory.
Bruce was best known for his ever-present, raucous, and wry sense of humor. He was always fondly remembered by those he knew for creating and fostering a fun and enjoyable atmosphere wherever he went. He had many hobbies and interests over the years, including photography, sailing, airplanes, country western dancing, military history, computers, and trains. He also enjoyed his time volunteering as a Parent Leader of his sons' Scout Troops.
