Bachi, a resident of Wellington, FL, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, at the age of 64. Dan was born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised in Scotch Plains, NJ. One of four, he enjoyed a close relationship with his older brother, and two younger sisters. He spent his elementary years at “St. Bart’s” Catholic school, before attending Scotch Plains-Fanwood for high-school. He loved the Jersey Shore, where he vacationed with his family and friends, worked as a lifeguard, and established an annual tradition with his own children. Dan left home for college, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Jacksonville University, where he graduated magna cum laude in 1981. He proceeded to the University of Florida to study law, and obtained his Juris Doctorate (with honors) in 1984. Following a year-long clerkship at the Florida Appellate Court in Tallahassee, Dan started his legal career at the West Palm Beach firm Jones & Foster. He then spent the remaining 35 years of his career building his own firm, Sellers, Marion, and Bachi, where he earned renown as a skilled litigator on various high-profile cases. From 1995 to 2005, he was one of a few lawyers in the state to hold simultaneous Florida Bar “board-certified” designations in both civil trial and appellate practice. Shortly after relocating to West Palm Beach, Dan met Patricia Markey. They fell in love, and ultimately exchanged vows in April of 1992. They settled in Wellington, where they raised their two children.
