It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Bruce Egan.
A loving son, brother, uncle, husband, father, and grandfather and a devoted friend, Bruce was closely connected to the UNC community, touching the lives of its students, faculty, and staff through his work as Director of the ITS Response Center, his writing in the Carolina Alumni Review, and through his establishment of the Carolina Family Scholarship, which provides need-based awards to the children of UNC employees.
For his efforts he received a Chancellor’s Award for Excellence, the highest honor given to a state employee.
Off campus Bruce could be found playing bass in his bands Amber Alley and HWY 54, writing his weekly column for the Chapel Hill Herald, rebuilding his Triumph TR7, coaching his children’s sports teams, constructing mobiles for his yard, or traveling the world. In all his work, he always made time to listen to and support those around him.Bruce is predeceased by his wife of more than 30 years, Christine, and survived by his brother Wes, cousin Bob, children Emily and John, and their families.
He will never be forgotten.
