Bruce Tillman was a husband, father, a pastor and the sole provider for his household. He leaves behind his wife Jaquise Tillman, two teenage boys, and a 2-year-old daughter.
Bruce, or Pastor Bruce as he was called by many, was very active in the church community and was often referred to as the best organ player on the west coast.

Lesha said Tillman loved his wife and children and had a strong passion for his church family as well.
“He loved being in church fellowshipping with others and playing the key board for churches including his home church in Pomona,” said Lesha.
