YOAKUM: Bruce Edwin Bulik, 62, passed away Thursday, July 10, 2025, at his home with his family by his side. He was born October 11, 1962, in Cocoa Beach, Florida to Robert and Beverly (Johnson) Bulik.
He spent much of his life working in the oilfield, where his dedication and hard work were evident in everything he did. He took pride in maintaining his yard, keeping the space around his home tidy and welcoming. Originally raising his family in Montana, he later followed the path of the oilfield to Texas, where new opportunities awaited.
Family was at the heart of everything—he cherished time with his loved ones, especially his grandkids, and found joy in teaching them new things whenever he could. Known for his gift of gab, he never met a stranger and could strike up a conversation with anyone.
A loyal Dallas Cowboys fan through and through, he flew their flag with pride no matter how the season was going. His love for the team reflected the loyalty and spirit that defined him.
Bruce worked hard, played hard and loved hard. He will be greatly missed.
Survivors are his wife of 42 years, Kerri (Kriedeman) Bulik of Yoakum; daughter, Nicole Bulik of Montana and son, Matthew Bulik and wife, Michelle of Colorado; four grandchildren; brothers, Brian Bulik and Brad Bulik and stepbrother, Ben Rhodes and wife Pandora; stepmom, Betty Bulik.
Preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Beverly Bulik; two brothers, Bobby Bulik and Brent Bulik.; sister, Sherry Secora.
A Celebration of his Life will be held at a later date.
