Obituary For Bruce D. Kautz

Age 59 of Baldwin, formerly of Brentwood, on Thursday, April 6, 2023 at his home surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with lymphoma. Bruce was born April 9, 1963 to Jerome B. and Rita (Gorczyca) Kautz both of whom preceded him in death. Bruce was the loving husband of Cynthia (Nedley) Kautz and step father of Victor Owens (fiancée Stacie Kurhan) and Jennifer (Bryan) Lucarelli. He dearly loved his grandchildren Ava, Lena and Syenna Lucarelli and Rylie Lynn and Aubrie Rose Owens. Bruce is survived by his loving sisters Susan (Steven) Smith, Gerri Ann (John) Coggins, and Amy (Mark) Nadorlik. His only brother, Scott Kautz, preceded him in death. Bruce is also survived by many in-laws, nieces and nephews.

Bruce graduated from Brentwood High School and Rosedale Technical Institute. He spent his career working as a heavy diesel mechanic and was still employed by Duquesne Light when he became ill. Bruce enjoyed working on cars, watching car races, playing with his boxer dogs and spending time with his beloved family. He will be fondly remembered by his family for his generous spirit and wry sense of humor which he maintained throughout his illness. Friends and family will be received at the John F.

    To Cindy and the Kautz family I am sorry to hear about Bruce he was a very good guy along with Scott. I remember when we were kids going to high school me and Ronnie Lear would stop at their house Scott was always running late Bruce would be saying hurry up your making us late we would be laughing every morning then meet other friends on path. But as we got a little older, I had a cutlass that the engine broke so Bruce helped me rebuild it BOY that car screamed after he took the heads to tec school. I will never forget that and when we would run into each other we both brought up that engine and car. Rest in peace, Johnny F

    What a genuinely great and funny guy. Pulled no punches he either, he liked you or not. I remember in high school meeting up with Bruce and Scotty before school in the path. Later in adulthood spending time at the Other End with Cindy and Bruce. I was fortunate to know him and love both Cindy & Bruce. Cindy was his Supa and their relationship was special and a fun time. I remember the surprise 50th at the Club. Such wonderful times. Bruce was such a brave man and fought so hard. I wouldn't have lasted a month. I was lucky to talk to Bruce on Monday and I was so happy to see again, his sense of humor in spite of what he was facing. With Cindy tirelessly at his side he fought the good fight. My prayers 🙏 ❤ and love being sent this sad day.
