David Bartel Obituary

David M. Bartel

Chilton - David M. Bartel, 66, of Chilton died Tuesday morning July 28, 2020 at his home after a short battle with cancer surrounded by his loving family. He had a very short time after his diagnosis but as always he spent the time making memories that will be with all of us forever. He was born on April 28, 1954 in Milwaukee WI son of Martha Blauert Bartel and the late Marlin Bartel. David attended Sheboygan Schools and was a graduate of North High School, Class of 1972.

On May 19, 1973 he was united in marriage to Donna M. Badtke at St. Peter Clavier Catholic Church, Sheboygan. She preceded him in death on October 22, 1974. David married Rosemary "Rosie" Schad on December 5, 1975 at St. Dominic's Catholic Church, Sheboygan. He had been employed with Kohler Co, Vollrath, ASA and KI. Most recently he had been working with the Calumet County ADRC until his retirement. David was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, School Hill and a former member of St. Dominic's Catholic Church, Sheboygan. He was a longtime member of the Catholic Knights having achieved the distinction of 4th Degree Knight. During the last ten years he walked with Rosie as she told the story of her journey through a difficult medical experience. He encouraged her to write her story as a book that was just published and he would tell everyone that the book was his dream. In his free time he enjoyed fishing and spending time with his grandchildren, who were the love of his life.

Survivors include his wife; Rosie, children; Christopher (Michelle) Bartel, Chilton, Richard (Glecy) Bartel, Queen City, AZ, Michele Lyons, Fond du Lac, grandchildren; Donna & Cadence Bartel, Brandon & Brycen Lynch, Victoria & Sadie Lyons and Jennavieve Gosseck.

He was preceded in death by his father; Marlin, his first wife; Donna, sisters-in-law; Laura Bartel & Donna Basler-Close, father-in-law and mother-in-law; Norman & Delores Schad.

A time of visitation and support will be held on Friday July 31, 2020 from 3:00pm until 7:00pm at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, (11928 Marken Rd, Kiel "School Hill") All recommendations for social distancing during the visitation are appreciated.

Thinking of you Martha, Robert, Jeanne and Paul as you make the transition to life without David. I have great memories of all of you when we came to visit you on 10th street. May God's love support all of during this time. I am sure Mike was there to welcome David to his eternal home. I'm keeping you all in prayer.
