All,

It is with a very heavy heart to let the AH family know that Bruce Marshall aka @gillettehunter has passed away. I apologize in advance for probably not doing this post justice, Bruce was a great friend and an even better man.

I had the pleasure of hunting with Bruce on a few safaris, hunting Wyoming with him and spending time at his jewelry shop and with his family. His wonderful wife, who is an accomplished photographer, accompanied us in Tanzania, and I can remember thinking I hope that my wife and I still look at each other the way Bruce and Mary Ann did. You could tell the love they had for each other.

Bruce loved his kids and grandkids and would frequently send me pictures of their adventures, as much as Bruce loved hunting, his family was his rock and he was a role model to me on how to be a dad.

Bruce and I were suppose to hunt Cameroon together, but unfortunately life had other plans, but up until 2 weeks ago he was calling me and giving me advice on Krygyzstan, he never stopped caring about others and always had a positive attitude.

I like to think with the recent passing of Christophe Morio, who was Bruce's PH in Congo, that those two are already making plans to sit tonight.

As I get information such as the obituary and funeral information, I will share it here.

I know a lot of people here knew Bruce and he will be missed. May he Rest In Peace.

Wow, I am truly taken aback.

May he rest in peace. He was such a positive light and a genuinely friendly hunter who shared his passion with everyone around him. He will certainly be missed.

I bet you are right. Him and Christophe are up there building a machan together.
 
Wow.. such terrible news..

Bruce was going to do a PH course in South Africa with myself and several other AH members in Sept 2025, but was having health issues and had to waive off. I had hoped he improved. I really enjoyed whatapping back and forth with him while we were planning for attending the course and potentially doing a little hunting afterwards.

RIP Bruce.. Condolences to his family.. He'll certainly be missed around here..

He really wanted to hunt in Asia with my team from an elephant howdah. Next year, I was supposed to make it happen. But I suppose life had other plans.

May God/Allah grant him an eternity in Heaven/Jannat. He was a true gem of a human being and as selfless as they come.
 
While hunting with @TSALA HUNTING SAFARIS 3-4 years ago Bruce and two of his hunting friends arrived into camp when I was there. Bruce had such a passion for hunting and sharing his experiences. Sad to hear of his passing!

Bruce was always a generous, positive and helpful man. His contributions here to members and friends will be sorely missed. He did live his life well.
Condolences to his family on their loss.
 
Bruce will live on in the hearts of the people that knew him and those he crossed paths with on his incredible journey of life. Rest in peace
 
RIP Bruce! Condolences to the family! Thank you @LivingTheDream for letting us know.
