Martin Bauer

Martin W. Bauer, age 74, passed peacefully at his home on April 19th, 2023, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born on July 10th, 1948, in Chicago, IL. He previously resided in Illinois, Florida, and most recently lived in Aurora, CO. He was a graduate of Michigan Tech University and worked as a mechanical engineer in the automotive industry. He designed components for many vehicles, including his favorite, the Corvette. He also carried on his mother’s tax preparation business for many years, which led to many long friendships. While raising three sons, he devoted and loved his time being a scoutmaster and soccer coach. He retired from engineering in 2008 and continued to enjoy his garage hobbies and, most importantly to him, his family. Martin was a devoted, loving, supportive husband, father, brother, grandfather, and uncle to many nephews and nieces. Everyone close to him knew him as the “life of the party,” and he always knew how to make his family and friends smile and laugh.

Survivors include his wife of 49 years, Susan of Aurora, CO; sons Mark (Allison) of Lakewood, CO, Michael (Debbie) of Aurora, CO, and Matthew (Ali) of Denver, CO. He was brother to Carl (Bernadette) of Des Plaines, IL and John (Margaret) of Longmont, CO. He was grandfather to Liam, Aiden, and Madelyn. Martin was preceded in death by his parents Stanley and Hildegarde, his nephew James and his niece Sherry-Lee of Chicago, IL.
