Bruce Sylvester Golson, Sr.

May 23, 1966 — February 14, 2025

With heavy hearts, on February 14, 2025, Bruce “The Stuff” spiritually joined his mother & father up in heaven surrounded by his loving family and friends. Mr. Bruce Sylvester Golson Sr. affectionately known as “The Stuff” was born on May 23, 1966 to the late Mr. Sylvester Golson & the late Mrs. Cornelia Harvey Golson, Bruce was a proud native of Louisville, KY. He graduated from Central High School with the Class of 1985, where he excelled both academically and athletically. His talent and passion for football earned him a scholarship to Kentucky State University, where he played as a dedicated running back. He had an infectious charisma that could light up any room and a heart full of generosity that knew no bounds.

Bruce leaves to cherish his memories and mourn his loss, his two amazing children, daughter, Cortney Lashay Moore (Patrick) and son, Bruce Sylvester Golson Jr. His legacy continues through his two awesome grandchildren, Peyton Moore and Patrick Moore Jr., who brought him immense joy, special cousin Kevin Brown (Coletta), special friend “like a brother” Terry Love (Stephanie), riding buddy Terry Sheckles and host of family & friends. Bruce was loved by people from every social class & “The Stuff” will be missed by many!
