Leon Bachteler Obituary, Death – We are here today to grieve the death of Leon Bachteler, a young man with so much potential. Leon was a senior at Hunter College High School in New York, and his death devastated his school, his friends, and his neighborhood. Leon was well-liked for his calm attitude, sharp mind, and upbeat disposition, qualities that set him apart from other students. He was a dedicated student who also valued his family and enjoyed playing sports.
The people around him felt the warmth of his smile and his heart. Leon tragically lost his fight against his own demons, giving in to the crushing weight of his despair and anxiety. His life highlights the tragic challenges that many modern adolescents must encounter. A beloved member of the Hunter College High School family has passed away.
Leon’s departure will be felt by students, faculty, and administration alike. Teen suicide rates are on the rise, therefore it’s more important than ever that we work together to help those who are struggling. The mental health of our adolescents can be affected by a variety of factors, including bullying (both in-person and online) and parental influences. Please know that you are not alone in your grief at Leon’s passing.
Don’t be afraid to lean on one another for help; doing so demonstrates strength. The National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 at (988) if you or someone you know needs help. Counseling hotlines for teens are available through the same means. In honor of Leon, may we always keep in mind the value of empathy, tolerance, and education on mental illness. I pray that in death, he will finally be at peace.
