I am starting this fundraiser on behalf of my close friends, the Oates family. Greg passed away suddenly on January 2, 2024. We are all devastated at this unexpected loss. Greg leaves behind his fiancé, Bonnie, and five children: Brittany, Rylee, Aubrey, Gregory Jr and step-daughter, Amber. Aside from funeral expenses the family could use help with general expenses associated with the lost of a father and partner.
