Austin Bartsch Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Austin was a proud graduate of Hill McCloy High School, graduating with the class of 2018. He will be remembered as a dedicated mechanic, working at LaFontaine in Birch Run. Austin's passion for all things racing, from drag races to drifting, always brought him excitement. He found joy in the great outdoors, relishing trail rides with his side by side and evenings spent around a campfire with loved ones. Christmas, a time for family and togetherness, held a special place in Austin's heart, as he cherished the traditions and moments shared during this festive season. Austin will be remembered for his bright spirit and contagious laughter, with a warmth that left a lasting impact on all who crossed his path.
