Bruce Gerald Aasen April 01, 1980 – December 25, 2018 Share this obituary Sign Guestbook| Send Sympathy Card AASEN, Bruce Gerald III aka “Doc Greenthumb” aka “Brucey Biscuits” 1 April 1980 – 25, December 2018 The family of Bruce Gerald Aasen III wish to extend an invitation to celebrate the life and mourn the loss of Bruce, who passed away peacefully at home just before Christmas. After the initial shock, a close friend sadly said: “It’s just like Bruce to enter the world on April Fools Day and then leave on Christmas”. Those who knew Bruce well would agree, as he was well-known for his sometimes highly inappropriate but hilarious pranks and memes on facebook.
A native of Stratford, CT, Bruce migrated west at 19 years old making the North Bay area, Santa Rosa in particular, his home. The Santa Rosa fires of 2017 had displaced Bruce along with many other people, and he had finally settled into a room on his friend’s family farm in Rohnert, CA, where he lived at the time of death. After settling in the North Bay area as a youth, Bruce immersed his creative energies into the House/Techno music and rave movements, using “Doc Greenthumb” as his stage name.
He and his close friends founded “Pure Vision—1 Sol, 1 Love, 1 Family” music festival in 2004. The 15th annual event will take place 19-21 July 2019 in the Sierra Nevada mountains outside Pioneer, CA with a special tribute to Bruce (contact family for more information). Bruce also owned and operated a moving company up until the housing market and banking crash of 2008.
After some time, because of his computer and networking savvy, Bruce switched gears and worked to receive certification as an IT field engineer for CompuCom. Bruce is survived by his: Daughter Sierra Michelle Aasen Ross & her mother Cassie Ross of Livermore, CA; mother Eileen Borger Beck & her partner Robert Brulotte of East Haven, CT; father Bruce G. Aasen Jr. & his wife Iva of Ruse, Bulgaria; brother Eric Aasen of Stratford, CT; sister Rebecca Aasen of Stratford, CT; grandmother Barbara Borger of Branford, CT; grandfather Bruce G. Aasen Sr. of Mooresville, NC; Uncles Willian Borger & his wife Meloney of Azle Texas & Bobby Borger of Poolville,Texas; Aunt Rose Aasen-Rojas & her husband Armando of GA; and close friends Tim Brown of Hawaaii & Alexis Pasterick of CA. Memorial services will be held at; Adzima Funeral Home of Stratford, CT 2 – 4 PM January, 6, 2019.
In lieu of flowers, donations for Bruce’s surviving daughter Sierra would be greatly appreciated. There will also be a California memorial the following weekend. Contact family for details.
