Bruce Russell Meyer, born March 12, 1948, in Baltimore, MD, passed away on September 16, 2024, at North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond, LA, after a prolonged illness. He was 76 years old and a longtime resident of Kentwood, LA. He earned his Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from LSU, where he met his beloved wife, Maggie Allen Meyer, whom he married in 1971. Bruce was the dedicated owner of Allen Bros Feed, a family business he managed after moving from Baton Rouge to Kentwood in 1972.

Bruce was preceded in death by his wife, Maggie; his parents, Rex and Dorothy Swanson Meyer; his wife’s parents, Pierce and Edna Allen; and his best four-legged friend, Buster.

Also surviving Bruce are his brother, Jim Meyer, and his wife, Margaret, along with his nieces, Carolyn Emory, Heather Sims, Emily Farrah, and Diana Meyer.

Bruce had a passion for shooting pool, but above all, he treasured his time with his granddaughter, Kaylee. His presence will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
