Bart Trautvetter, 65, of South Beaver Township, passed away unexpectedly on September 9, 2025.

Born on October 27, 1959, in Darlington, PA, Bart was raised on his family's dairy farm, where he developed a lifelong passion for farming and hard work. He continued that legacy by running the family dairy farm and tending crops throughout South Beaver Township.

Above all, Bart was proud to be a father and grandfather.

He is survived by his children, Christopher Trautvetter, Chadd (Ariel) Trautvetter, Charlee (Leroy) Williams, and Virginia (Josh) Gibbs. He deeply loved his grandchildren—Preston, Jayce, and Kera, Lyriq, and Leroy Jr.; and his grand-raccoon, Rigby—who brought him immense joy and with whom he shared many lessons, from target practice to words of wisdom. Bart is also survived by his mother, Peggy (Trautvetter) Taylor, and was preceded in death by his father, Mervyn Trautvetter, his stepfather, David Taylor, his brothers, Mark and Curt Trautvetter, and in-laws of Jack and Esther Stout. He is also survived by his stepchildren, and his wife, Marcie; as well as his niece, Melissa (Brian) Koah.   He also leaves behind his lifelong friend and former wife, Darla (Les), who remained an important part of his life as the mother of his children.

Bart will be remembered for his strong work ethic, love of the land, and the pride he took in passing down knowledge and traditions to the next generation.
