Bruce James Coulbourne

Berlin

Bruce James Coulbourne, age 73, died Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2021, at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin.

Born in Milford Delaware, he was the son of the late James and Catherine (Truitt) Coulbourne.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Nancy (Hearne) Coulbourne; and daughters, April Coulbourne of Whaleyville, Maryland, Catherine Walling (husband, Ryan) of Florida, and Shauna Thomas (husband, Seth) of Seaford, Delaware.

He has two grandchildren, T.J. and Savanah Frampton, and one great-grandchild, Ariana Brown.

Mr. Coulbourne, affectionately known as B.J. by family and friends, was a talented musician, blessed with a God-given talent for piano, keyboard and the B3 jazz organ.

He served as lead singer in many musical groups, but his heart was for the music ministry of the church.

B.J. was also a successful businessman. Together with his wife, they owned and operated God’s Gold By The Inch, of Ocean City, Maryland, from 1990 to present.

In his later years, B.J. worked in flooring sales.

It is no secret that B.J.’s best friend is Jesus Christ, and his family could not be happier that he finally made it home.

A memorial service was held on Friday, Dec. 17, 2021, at Burbage Funeral Home in Berlin.
