Andrew Donald Bachler

Andrew Donald (Don) Bachler entered the presence of his Lord and Savior on November 1, 2024 at Wyoming Medical Center, Casper, Wyoming.

He is survived by his wife Deanna Bachler, daughter Tammy Coffel, grandchildren Travis and Anastasia of Oxford, Kansas and Nicole, Craig, Cameron, and Allison of Idaho.

He was preceded in death by his parents Alvie and Sarah Bachler, his two sisters Lora and Donna, and his brother Ken.

Don was born outside of Hulett, Wyoming on February 25, 1941 and attended high school in Moorcroft, Wyoming. Shortly after high school graduation he joined the US Navy. He served the Navy from 1959-1965, including the Vietnam War. He was honorably discharged in 1965. Don was skilled in many things and had many jobs throughout his lifetime. He had the God-given ability to be one of the most dynamic people you could ever meet. However, you would never know the extent of his skills, as he used them quietly to serve others.

Don was a gentle and quiet soul with a sweet and tender smile. He did not say much, but when he did his words were wise and valued. There were many things he loved. He loved Wyoming. He was a fisherman and hunter. His boat was a great joy to him as he would take friends and family for rides. He loved his family. He was married to his wife and friend, Deanna Bachler, for almost 55 years. He loved his beautiful blond, blue eyed daughter (these are his words). They were inseparable as she grew up. He loved his many friends and his church family. His kind hug or strong handshake greeted many at a Sunday morning service. However, the dearest to him was his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He accepted Christ as Savior in July of 1977.

Don was a faithful servant of Christ, committed and loving husband of almost 55 years, devoted Dad, delighted Grandad, and trustworthy friend to many. He truly was “an all-around good fellow” who will be greatly missed.

Funeral services will be held on November 6 at 11:00 am at Liberty Baptist Church, 1203 S. Oak, Casper, Wyoming with a lunch to follow.
