Pete Bartkowski, aged 48, of Westminster, Colorado, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, July 8, 2025.
Born in Bangkok, Thailand, on August 13, 1976, Pete was adopted at ten months old in June 1977 by Andrew and Darle DelGrosso Bartkowski. He grew up in Battle Ground, Washington, alongside his sister Trisha and graduated from Prairie High School. Throughout his life, Pete also lived in Texas, Las Vegas, and Colorado.
Pete embraced life with vigor, consistently inspiring others to pursue their dreams relentlessly. He possessed the spirit of a cowboy with his passion for bull riding, and the soul of a biker with his love for racing motocross. As Co-Captain, he cherished playing baseball (#4) with the Aqua Sox. Pete also enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, DJing, and simply having a good time.
He leaves behind his mother, Darle; sister, Trisha; and aunts, uncles, cousins, and an extended family of friends who were like family to him. Pete was preceded in death by his father, Andrew (Andy) Bartkowski, and his grandparents, Pete & Jean Bartkowski and Lloyd & Marie Del Grosso.
Pete's radiant spirit and boundless enthusiasm for life will be deeply missed but forever cherished in the memories of all who knew him.
