Bruce Jefferies

(Obituary compiled from information found on the Internet.)

Bruce James Jefferies was born on August 19, 1947 to Donald James and Norma Bauer Jefferies.  He was the oldest of four siblings that included Brad, Sherrie and Neil.  He never married and had no children. 

According to his sister, Sherrie, he was very personable and loved being around people.  Bruce was a drummer with The Fabulous Flippers that toured the Midwest for years.  The group is said to be one of the most important bands to come from the Central United States. No other band from the area drew larger crowds, caused more excitement, or had more influence on aspiring musicians. The Flippers drew sell-out crowds from Texas to North Dakota and from Colorado to Illinois. The band famously advertised their shows on KOMA Radio from Oklahoma City, and teens drove hundreds of miles to what was known as a "Flipper Dance”.

Bruce later settled in Owensboro, KY where he ended his career working for the Owensboro Music Center,  handling the sound equipment for concerts in the area.

Bruce passed away at the age of 68 on September 22, 2015.  He is buried in the Bountiful Lakeview Cemetery with an interesting marker featuring a set of drums.
