Bruce Earl Maddox

Bruce Earl Maddox, 82, of Roy, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at Ogden Regional Medical Center in Ogden.

Born May 24, 1942, in Marshall, Texas, Bruce was the son of Robert Price and Billie Lou Hartsell Maddox. He grew up in Marshall, Texas and later served in the United States Navy from 1961 to 1967 as a Boiler Tender. He was honorably discharged as a Petty Officer 2nd Class after having served on the USS Brush.

While stationed in Long Beach, California, Bruce married the love of his life, Patsy Louise Stump, on January 26, 1963, in Las Vegas, Nevada. They were just one day away from celebrating their 62nd Wedding Anniversary.

Bruce and Pat added three children to their family, Melanie, Bruce, and Hollie. They also started multiple successful businesses while in Southern California. They eventually settled in Utah, where they established their legacy of Maddox Compressor Company, which they ran until their retirement. Maddox Compressor Company is still a family-owned, thriving business in Ogden, Utah.

After their retirement they were blessed to be able to pursue their passion of traveling and golfing full-time. He was able to achieve 8 holes-in-one during the many years he spent golfing. They would Snowbird in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and their second home in Arizona, where they made many life-long friends. He never met a stranger and was loved and respected by all.

Bruce will be remembered for his love and dedication to his family, his love of golf, and his hard work ethic.

Bruce is survived by his loving wife, Pat of Roy; daughter, Melanie (Michael) Simpson of Los Lunas, New Mexico; Bruce Earl (Sheri) Maddox II of Clearfield; and Hollie Maddox-Queen of Roy; nine grandchildren, Bryon, Joshua, Breanna, Amber, Patrick, Durke, Megan, Trey and Kalin; six great-granddaughters; and his siblings, Bob (Peaches), Kitty and Julie. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Ronnie; and grandson, Dakota Ray Kilburn.

The family suggests that in lieu of flowers Bruce would want you to make a tee time and play a round in his memory.
