Brice Turner passed away unexpectedly as a result of a car accident Sunday, November 12th, 2023. Brice grew up in Jacksonville and St. Johns Florida, graduating from Creekside HS (2018) and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (2022). At the time of his death Brice was a graduate student studying Nuclear Engineering at the University of Florida and was working for the Los Alamos Laboratory, conducting research. He had completed internships at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. As a child Brice’s favorite sport was whatever was in season and he loved his time on the cross country and track teams at CHS. Brice dabbled in many hobbies including, running, snowboarding, scuba diving and building elaborate Lego creations, among others. If it could be done outdoors Brice would try it. Brice was also an avid sports fan who had traveled as far as Montreal to see an F1 Race, California to see an NBA finals game and was a regular spectator at Daytona International Speedway and EverBank Stadium to cheer on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brice will be remembered for his desire to master his pursuits, including his curiosity and dedication to learning.
