Bart was in my dance class at TCC back in 2007!
He made that class so memorable and fun! I have thought back to that class often because of my times shared with Bart! He will most definitely be missed by many!

Bart and I enjoyed posting our thoughts and responses to many exchanges on Facebook. I just wish now that we would have met in person as we talked about. I was perplexed as to why he went missing from our postings and it wasn't until recently that I found his obituary in May of 2023. So sad. RIP dear Bart, you will be missed by many. ❤️

My heart goes out to Bart's entire family. We were close friends at TCU and shared some really great times together with a host of other friends. I always admired his discipline related to health and physical fitness and adored eating Belgium chocolates that his beautiful mother would occasionally send. I have lost touch over the years but decided to look him up and was so disheartened to learn of his passing. Wishing peace and strength to his entire family. Bart left you a formidable legacy. Ginger

I was in shock when I found out about his passing. I still remember what he had done for me years ago, & I still have the book he gave me back in 2013 - It was The Art of Power by Thich Nhat Hanh.
He was the first college teacher I had when I attended TCC, & he was the nicest person I had met there.
Rest in peace...

I too remember Bart while attending TCU from 1979-1985. I used to have a photo of Bart, myself and Paul Brodeur posing at Twin Points on Eagle Mountain Lake. Of course the body builder looked much better than us power lifters! He was a great guy that could always make me laugh. My deepest condolences on your loss. RIP my friend. Stuart Hente

Professor Desender was my favorite professor at TCC. I took two of his courses, aerobic fitness and I think weight lifting was the other. He could do step aerobics like no ones business! Wow, was he really fast and excelled at fitness. On the last day of class he invited the whole class to Panera bread where we just enjoyed each other’s company and ate a good meal. I loved his smile, and calm demeanor. I am saddened to hear of his death today. It’s been many years since I took his courses, but he has made a huge impact in my life today. I am sure we will see each other again one of these days. God rest your soul Bart Desender. Julie Holgersen, BS, RDH

I worked with Bart at the Rickel Bldg. when we both attended TCU and was shocked to hear of his passing. He was always such a nice person, a kind gentle giant. My condolences to the family, he will be missed.

I can't believe it has been almost 7 months since you've been gone... it still feels so surreal... my heart hurts and always feels heavy a lot still. God i miss you so much and wish you were here still... and good grief its been a crazy 2 months for me! I have an adorable baby girl now... :). She was a complete surprise! Crazy huh? Its been a blur of 2 months and a lot of learning curve balls hitting me but I'm getting better every day with being a Mom ^_^.
Wish you could of met her and she could of met her crazy grandpa! Missing you so very much right now more than ever.
With all our love,
Gracie, Llathana, and Joe

Dear Gracie,
I just found out your Dad is gone! Please accept my deepest sympathies! I remember all three of you; your Dad, Richie, and you, coming to Florida to visit Walt and me. And again when Walt passed in 2005, you all came to stay with me and we went to Disney World in Orlando! Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl!! Love & prayers, Lindi Newmann Willis (904) 400-4133

Bart,
I received this souvenir, depicted on the attached photo, from you, during your last trip to Ghent, Belgium. I cherish it as a nice memory to you of our childhood and of our delightful day together in Ghent.
It is a pity that we saw each other too little.
However, I might and could experience very nice moments with you.
Rest now …
Joke De Cauter, your cousin,
and Daniël Willems.

Hey Dad,
I was thinking about you today... because it would of been your 62nd birthday... and also almost 3 months since you have passed. It's crazy how fast time has flown on by... I wish it would slow down some... feels like time has been passing too quickly to be honest.
Anyways, I wanted to say a tribute to you on here today -
Happy Birthday, Dad! I wish you were here... so we could celebrate today together... :'(. We all miss you and love you so much...!!! :')
With all our love,
Your daughter Gracie ♡

I'm shocked finding this. Professor Desender changed my life and presented me with an opportunity I will never forget. I was in his last personal training class that was moved online because of the pandemic. I had him the semester before that for regular physical education. He was so knowledgeable, funny, and genuine. I will truly miss him. Thank you for everything, sir. You'll always hold the genesis of my personal training career. I hope to make you proud. Humbly your student forever. CJE

I'm gonna miss you Bart. I will miss our lunches at the Black Walnut. I'll miss our long conversations about life, family and the craziness of today's world. I'll miss our inside jokes, your obsession with plants, and your advice in the weight room. I'll miss your European track suits, your attention to detail, and the way your muscles would swell when you worked out. I'll miss your enthusiasm, your snarkiness (at a few things), and your calm demeanor. I'll miss you, Bart. Thanks for being a friend and an important part of my life.

Dear Dad,
This is one of the last photos I received of you. You were having a picnic brunch outside in your backyard... you were surrounded by your precious bonsais and eating all your favorite things that morning totally in your happy place.
I can't believe how fast time has passed... according to the calendar it has been already a month since you've passed onto the other side of this weird thing called life. It's crazy...
I just know your probably out there somewhere on the other side with moeke, your two sisters, your dad, and our cat twinkie having all those delicious foods and pastries with them no longer in pain, suffering, and just having a happy time ♡.
May you rest peacefully for the rest of time... Love you and Miss you everyday...
With all my love,
Your daughter Gracie
