SPARTA - Bryon David (Bubba) Ruroden 54, of Sparta, WI passed away peacefully surrounded by his family September 5, 2023 at Mayo Health System in La Crosse. He was born March 27, 1969 to Harlan and Diane Ruroden in West Union, Iowa, and graduated from Decorah High School in 1987. He worked many jobs: farming, mechanic, driving bus at Fort McCoy, drove semi-truck, and drove the Shaggin Wagon party bus. He liked to hunt and fish, and of course hooked himself many times. There were too many trips to the ER to remove fishing hooks. Bubba had a heart of gold and would help out with what anyone needed. He was the Godfather to his nephew Mitchell.
He is survived by his father Harlan (Ingrid) Ruroden Loveland, CO, three sisters, one brother, and two step sisters, Brenda (John) Langrehr of Bangor, WI, Kurtis (Jessica) Ruroden of Sparta, WI, Trisha (Dennis) of Winona, MN, Angel (Derek) Steil of Maquoketa, IA, Heidi (Marc) Mazur of CO, Tania Roesler of Necedah, WI. Many nephews and nieces: Tyler Carrie, Mitchell Carrie, Reid Carrie, Riley Carrie, Desi Running, Seth Running, Caleb Walsh, Heather and Ryan Maruz, Trevor, Justin and Megan Langrehr, Madyson Harter, great nephews Landon and Maddox Carrie. Many aunts, uncles and cousins.
