Bruce Kneisler, age 66, was born on September 15, 1956 to Harry and Catherine Kneisler, Sr. in New Orleans, LA and passed away on July 2, 2023 at his home in Crossville, TN.
Bruce loved motorcycle riding, crawfish boils, working in his garage, playing pool, and most of all, spending time with his grandchildren. He had the biggest heart that was open to anyone and everyone in the world and he loved putting a smile on everyone’s face. His door was always open and he would help anyone who needed it.

He was preceded in death by his parents Harry Kneisler, Sr. and Catherine (Flake) Kneisler; and brother Ricky Kneisler.
Services will be held on Sunday, July 9, 2023 at Crossville Memorial Funeral Home. Visitation will be held from 2-4pm with the service to follow at 4pm.
