Bio
Johnnie Wayne Bruns, 85, of Grand Island passed away on Monday, October 19, 2020. Johnnie was born July 24, 1935 in Kearney, the son of Edwin and Myrtle (Josh) Bruns. Growing up Johnnie moved around a lot, living in several places in central Nebraska. On May 30, 1958, he married Nancy Ann Harder. Three children were born to this marriage. Over the years the family made their home in Grand Island and Phillips, returning to Grand Island in later years. Johnnie had been employed with Rainbow Bread Co. and Triad Products Co.; and in later years worked with his son at Bruns Construction. Johnnie needed to be always doing something. Everything was worth trying to fix. He was a Jack-of-all-Trades, and master of many. His family will have many memories of Johnnie, and several will include him feeding the squirrels. Survivors include his wife, Nancy; son, Dennis Bruns and daughter, Denise (Scott) Shafer; son-in-law, Dan Bergman, all of Grand Island; eight grandchildren, Mike, Rod, Lisa, Deanna, Andrew, Jenny (Scott Peters), Heidi and Hannah; two great-granddaughters, Destiny Oakley and Makala Clark; two great-great-grandchildren; and a brother, Ray (Katherine) Bickel of California. He was preceded in death by a daughter, Deb Bergman; his parents; an infant sister, Mary; brother and sister-in-law, Darwin and Lucille Bruns; and a daughter-in-law, Ann Bruns.
