Bruce E. Taecker, 71, of Mountain Home, Arkansas passed away August 21, 2022 at their home with his wife Wendy at his side. Bruce was born in Watertown, South Dakota on August 30, 1950 to Harold and Patronella (Nell) Taecker. He attended Watertown High School and graduated in 1969.

Hunting was one of Bruce's passions, both archery and gun hunting. After moving to Mountain Home he became an avid golfer. Some of his best friends he met at the Big Creek Golf Course.
