Richard Donald Bauer II, 55, of San Diego, California went to be with his savior on  November 28th, 2025 surround around the loves of his life. He was born October 23rd, 1970 to Richard Bauer I and Sandra Bauer and was the youngest of 5 siblings; Jerry, Shannon, Theresa, and Karin (who preceded him in death). He met his one true love in 1992 and they married on October 28th, 1995 and joyfully raised their beautiful family side by side for 30 years. He was blessed with three beautiful daughters Alyx, Zoee, and Madalyn who were the loves and joys of his life. He also enjoyed life alongside his sons-in-law, Edward, Brenden, and Wade and his future grandson, Atlas. Richard gave and received love generously throughout his life and everyone around him knew how loving he was.

Richard surrounded his family with love, laughter, and the light of Jesus. He was a fierce lover of the Lord and made it his goal in life to bring more people to Jesus. He was the strongest man and fought for his family in every battle that life threw his way; he was selfless in every way. He loved his job so much and had a smile on his face every day that he went and came home from work. He found so much pride in his work and enjoyed being able to help others at the shop. Although his girls, family, and friends will miss him immensely, they are overjoyed knowing that he is in perfect paradise with the savior of the world and they have no doubt in their minds, when we ran into the Lords arms he heard, "Well done good and faithful servant".
