Birth*Bruce Ryerson Sparling was born on 17 October 1980. 
He was the son of Ivan Douglas Sparling. 
Death*Bruce Ryerson Sparling died on 11 February 2012 at age 31; SPARLING, Bruce Ryerson - October 17, 1980-February 11, 2012 Today we lost a warrior, a soldier, a samurai. Defender against zombies, aliens & creatures from the Blue Lagoon. Bruce fought each day against a cancer too evil to be of this world. A battle in which weapons were useless, it was a battle fought with a determination to survive. The battle would rage for 8 years until Bruce's body was forced to slip from this life to the next. Twin brother, best friend and partner in disturbing behaviour to Michael. Big brother to Susanne. Son of Judy & Ivan. Uncle to Jack & Clint. Nephew to Carol, Lanny, Bruce, Mona, John, Wanda, Bill, Marilyn, Suzie & Rick. Cousin to Rhea, David. Donnalea, Glen, Laura, Mitchell, Daniel, Samantha, Jeffery, Adam, Joe, Bonnie, Kate & late Eric. Best friend to Joe, Pat and countless others. In a deep sleep, in the company of love & compassion, at home, free of any pain or discomfort, Bruce left us peacefully. After so bravely escaping his fate over the years, he rarely complained- and he should have. Most days were a nightmare for Bruce, but he always looked forward to tomorrow. And that is how the ones he left behind will survive. We take peace in that Bruce's last days were spent at home with family and friends. We take peace in knowing Bruce is now in the arms of lost loved ones; Eric, Crawf, Granny & Grandpa- we ask that you take care of our Brucey. We know he is not alone. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank Dr. Rebecca Gladdy, her team & the staff at Princess Margaret Hospital- there are no words to describe the value of the time you gave us with Bruce. Without you, those days would not exist. We want to thank Dr. Dietrich, Janet and the staff at St. Elizabeth for their compassion during Bruce's last days. We thank Marty, who let Bruce walk again. We thank our rock- Aunt Carol who gave everything she had, then gave more. We thank David for being more of a brother than a cousin. We thank Joe & Pat for not leaving Bruce's side and being so faithful & loyal, you lit him up with your presence (PALS). We thank everyone who helped during Bruce's journey, We love you all. Bruce Loves You All. Bruce's ashes will be present on February 16th, 2012 from 6pm- 9pm. Funeral Services on February 17th, 2012 at 1pm, in Sydenham, Ont, at TROUSDALE FUNERAL HOME. Donations will be accepted in Bruce's name to go to Princess Margaret Hospital for research. 11053923.
