Joachim Bartsch

Joachim “Yo” Daniel Bartsch, 29, of Wheat Ridge, CO, died unexpectedly on April 23, 2019. Yo was born November 27, 1989 to his parents Kelly Fair Bartsch (Robin Dolan) and Joachim Bartsch (Ronny Marshall) and lived most of his short life in Wheat Ridge. He has worked in various fields of automobile maintenance including Management and was recently a mechanic at Sill-TerHar Motors. Yo was a devoted and loving father and will be missed by his great circle of friends and family. He has left behind many who loved him including his daughter Annabelle, fiancé Shana Lynn, both parents, their partners, maternal grandmother Sandra Fair, brothers Adam and Travis, sister Heidi, cousins Hannah, Zack, Taisha, Christopher, Kenneth, Tony, and Marie, many lifelong friends, aunts, uncles, nephews, and his beloved dog Stella. He was preceded in death by his paternal Grandparents Horst and Ursula Bartsch, maternal Grandfather Charles Fair, and Godparents Leona and Bill Rutherford. He enjoyed an eclectic variety of music from punk, to metal, to rock, to country so much that he even played and made his own. He enjoyed four-wheeling in his truck and going for long drives. There wasn’t a thing on any car that he couldn’t fix. Yo went out of his way to help anyone and everyone in need, even when they didn’t know they needed him. He was a loyal friend who would do anything for those he loved. “Yo was a beautiful soul who brought love to every life he touched.” “ Daniel loved and loved BIG, everything with him was BIG.” A Celebration of Life Memorial will happen on Saturday, May 11 at 2-5pm at Wheat Ridge Lanes.
