It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Bruce Byer, a long-time and deeply valued member of our COPA group.

Bruce was one of those people who quietly made our aviation community stronger. He was always present, always willing to help, and for many years he generously gave his time and knowledge teaching ground school at our COPA for Kids events. Countless young people first learned the fundamentals of aviation from him, and his patience, clear explanations, and genuine enthusiasm left a lasting impression on both the kids and the volunteers who worked alongside him.

He will be remembered not only for what he taught, but for the steady, positive presence he brought to every gathering. Our group is better because of the years he spent with us.

Our thoughts are with his family and close friends during this difficult time. He will be missed.
