By Paso Robles Press · Thu May 14 2026

Arthur Michael Bridge was born on December 11, 1955, and passed away on May 1, 2026. He was a lifelong resident of Paso Robles and spent his life doing what he loved alongside his father at the family business, Bridge Sportsmen’s Center. Firearms, collecting, and the store were not simply his work, but a passion that connected generations of the Bridge family.

Art was a devoted husband to Debbie, a loving father to Melissah and Barbara, and a caring stepfather to Melissa. He cherished his grandchildren: Ivy, who brought him endless joy, as well as Daijah, Kylah, and Alijah, whom he loved very much. He is also survived by a great-grandchild, Romeo he sadly never had the chance to meet. He shared a special bond with Ammo, his loyal dog and constant companion who rarely left his side. Art was a devoted son to Norm and Frances Bridge and carried great respect and love for his family throughout his life.

Art will be remembered as a gentle yet incredibly strong man. He had a quiet steadiness about him, a kind heart, and unwavering loyalty to the people he loved. Some of his best memories were being in the outdoors hunting, and travelling to different parts of the country with Debbie. He was hardworking, thoughtful, and adored by his family and friends. His absence leaves an enormous space in the lives of all who knew him.

Graveside Service will be held on May 19, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Paso Robles District Cemetery.
