Ricardo Bautista

July 2, 1998 – July 4, 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Ricardo Bautista, who died in an automobile accident on July 4, 2025, at the age of 27. Born in Inglewood, California, Ricardo moved to Colorado as a young child and spent most of his life there. He passed away in Denver, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and deep connection.

Ricardo was a devoted father to his beloved daughter, Estella Bautista, who was the greatest joy and accomplishment of his life. He is also survived by his loving parents, Maricela and Rafael Bautista; his brothers Oscar, Jaime, Jorge, and Rafael; and his sister-in-law Lyndsey, who held a special place in his heart. He leaves behind many cousins, his niece and nephew who will miss him dearly—Javier and Samantha.

Ricardo had a rare gift for making others feel seen and welcomed. He was always laughing, smiling, and lifting the spirits of those around him. His positive energy was contagious, and his presence lit up every room he entered.

He worked proudly as a top salesman at GMC, earning respect through his dedication, integrity, and hard work. Ricardo had a lifelong passion for cars, a deep love that shaped much of his identity. He also found joy in collecting Pokémon cards and playing video games, but his heart was always with his family—especially his daughter.

Ricardo lived with kindness, led with honesty, and inspired everyone who knew him. Though his time was far too short, the impact he made will live on in the hearts of those who loved him
