In Memory

Bruce Barton

                                                                            Bruce Alan Barton passed away on December 14, 2014 after a long and valiant battle with cancer. Bruce was born on December 11, 1948 to Charles and Marilyn Barton. He was raised in Long Beach, CA. His first semester in college was spent traveling Europe by ship in the Chapman College program Seven Seas. After completing the Seven Seas program, Bruce continued his college education at ASU, graduating with a Political Science degree at the age of 20. Moving on to ASU Law School, he graduated Cum Laude at the age of 23. Bruce's career began in criminal law under the guidance of Murray Miller. Later Bruce embarked on another journey, opening his own practice in personal injury where he would practice until sickness prevented him from working in 2013. As a young lawyer, Bruce was instrumental in first organizing and then lobbying for the Chiropractic Association of Arizona (CAA). Throughout his life Bruce had a passion for the law and truly enjoyed representing individuals rather than insurance companies or other corporate interests. Above all else, Bruce was a true friend who will be greatly missed by his family and his many friends, too numerous to count. Bruce leaves behind his wife Renea (Salazar); stepchildren Rudy, Marissa, and Rickey Rosales; grandchildren Kalia Rosales, Niccolina Thomas, and Jayden Rosales; brothers Doug (CJ) Barton and Greg (Heather) Barton; nieces Kandis, Carrie, Tiffany, Brittany and Jenelle; and nephewTaylor Barton. A private memorial service will be held at a later time. In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that donations in Bruce's name be sent to the American Cancer Association. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/azcentral/obituary.aspx?pid=173624466#sthash.HbxAgHo9.dpuf

This is so sad.  Sorry that I lost touch with this sweet soul.  I didn't know him well in high school - probably because I was so shy but I remember him as being quiet, sweet, thoughtful and very, very smart.  My heart goes out to all who loved him and are now missing him.

I remembered Bruce right away but unfortunately, I never knew him very well--I was shy as well. I'm sorry that I didn't because he definitely left this earth better than it was when he got here. My deepest sympathy for the bereaved family.

Bruce and I were student aides in the bookroom together. Cool guy ! I always felt he had to walk in his brothers footsteps, but they were so different. Sweet soul, wish I had known him better,
