Alan Bruce Crouch, "Bruce", 75, passed away Wednesday evening, September 4, 2024, in Irving, Texas. Bruce was born on November 9, 1948, in Bryan, Texas, starting his love for Texas A&M University. Bruce graduated from Paschal High School in Fort Worth in 1967.

Bruce married his first wife Falah (Benton) Greenwood on November 8, 1969, and had three children. Starting their marriage in California, Bruce entered the Navy where he served as a Radioman Second Class on the Harold E Holt, a Knox-class frigate. Bruce was nominated for the Navy Man of the Pacific in 1971, he may not have received the overall award but was able to reach E5 status expeditiously. After the Navy, Bruce studied accounting and finance at the University of Texas in Arlington earning a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1975.

Bruce was a prominent figure in Grapevine, Texas where he served on various committees and boards including Chairman of the Committee for Grapefest, Chairman of the Texas Convention and Visitors Bureau of Grapevine, and President of AMBUCS.

Bruce married his second wife Rexanna Calentine on Thanksgiving Day in 2003, and they made their home in Irving, Texas. Bruce had a love for friends, food, wine, sports, and travel, which led him to acquiring a second family home in Roatan, Honduras, which he delighted in visiting on a regular basis.

Bruce's career led him to Tyler, Texas where he was the President and COO of Sealtite Building Fasteners, later ST Fastening Systems, ultimately purchased by the Hillman Group, and Bruce retired soon thereafter.

In his retirement, some of his favorite pastimes were spending afternoons with his grandchildren, walking his many dogs, cooking for friends and family both here and abroad, and golfing as much as possible. No matter the circumstances, Bruce was living his best life.

Bruce is survived by his wife Rexanna Calentine of Irving and his three children: Brad Crouch (wife Elveera), Charles Crouch (wife BobbyeJo), and Falah Espensen. And by his two grandchildren that he loved with all his heart, grandson Tristan, and granddaughter Elizabeth.
