Gary D. Bartcher, the son of Agnes L. (Voboril) and Clifford Bartcher, was born June 26, 1941 in Smith County, Kansas near Bellaire. He departed this life on Monday, December 12, 2016 at the Smith County Memorial Hospital in Smith Center, Kansas at the age of 75 years, 5 months and 16 days. A lifelong resident of the area, Gary received his formal education attending rural school district #9 in Nebraska. In 1956, the family moved to Esbon where Gary graduated from the Esbon High School with the class of 1960. Following his desire to serve his country, he enlisted in the United States Air Force for a four year tour of duty and was discharged in 1964. He returned to the farm at Esbon to pursue his life's work as a farmer and stockman. He was a proud steward of the land and a progressive cattleman. He was presented the Soil Conservation Award for his efforts. Gary was involved in numerous community and civic organizations including the Esbon American Legion Post where he served as Post Commander for many years. He was a long time member of the Esbon Volunteer Fire Department and had served on the Jewell County Hospital Board. In his leisure time he enjoyed attending cattle and farm sales, area auctions and having coffee with his many friends and neighbors. His personality was pervaded by a quiet and sincere nature and he will be fondly remembered as a friend to everyone he met. Preceding him in death were his parents, Agnes and Clifford Bartcher, and a great niece, Baylan Rothchild. Left to cherish his memory are his sister and brother-in-law, Glenda and Delmer Rothchild of Downs, Kansas; his nephews, Shannon Rothchild and wife Kristi and children, Weston, Shelton and Hannah; and Shea Rothchild and wife Kasiah and children Kallan, Kenadie and Sadie; other relatives and friends.
