Bruce Patrick Elliott, born on March 17, 1956, in Dewey, Oklahoma, passed away on Friday, August 23, 2024, in Pryor, Oklahoma. He was a cherished member of his community, remembered for his diverse talents and passions.

Bruce was a pitmaster and master chef, known for his culinary skills that garnered him an invitation to compete at the prestigious Jack Daniels Royal.

Bruce was preceded in death by his parents, Bruce and Joan Elliott, and his sister, Kelly Hayes, and her husband Dave. His legacy of creativity and passion will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

A memorial will be held honoring Patrick's life by his wife at a later date. If you would like to leave a personal message, please visit his guest book at www.shipmansfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are under the direction of Shipman's Funeral & Cremation Service of Pryor.
