Obituary of Bernd Wachter

45, born May 4th 1960 in Germany, passed away on Saturday April 15, 2006 in Tacoma, WA. Sig is survived by son Jason and his wife Caroline, father Rick Young, sister Doris and her family in Europe, and Manuela Wachter ex-wife whom he was married to for 20 years. Throughout Sig’s life, he acquired a larger family. People were attracted to Sig’s big heart and fun loving personality. He surrounded himself with people that didn’t need to put on an act, people that would be themselves and speak their minds. This was one of the rules that he lived by and is why his family grew to be so large. Sig had an outstanding work ethic and excelled at everything that he did. He had many passions in life his favorite being his “shovel head” Harley Davidson that he rode cross country and seemed to always be tuning or replacing parts on. His bike tool bag was always in use. Another one of his passions was family. Didn’t matter if it was his son, father, or “extended” family he was always there to lend a helping hand. He didn’t command respect, it was always given to him and in return he gave the same. Sig would love for his friends and family not to mourn his death but to celebrate his life and live as if today could be your last. He will be missed by all and will always be in our hearts and souls. “Peace, live in it or rest in it.” There will be a celebration of Sig’s life that will be held at Galloping Gerties bar and grill at 15417 Union Avenue SW Tillicum, WA. (253) 588-7131 on Sunday, April 23rd at 2:00pm. Donations can be made at the service. Arrangements by Edwards Memorial Center 253-566-1008
