Bruce David Caccia, 72, passed away on March 20th, 2025 after a battle with lung cancer. He was born on October 27th, 1952, the son of the late William Caccia and Clarabelle (Dietrich) Caccia. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his longtime girlfriend, Sue Koah. He is survived by his daughter, Tricia (Mike) Jurich, his grandson, Josh Caccia and his great-granddaughter, Avery Moldovan.

Bruce was a man of few redeeming qualities, most of which were only visible to his mother, his sole lifelong fan. An absentee father by choice and a grandfather only in title, Bruce was known for his sharp tongue and consistent absence.

He excelled at running Caccia Roofing and he knew roofs like the back of his hand.

There will be no services for Bruce. Arrangements have been entrusted to the branch of Gabauer Funeral Homes.

In lieu of flowers, just be kind to someone.
