Holly here, Denise Moore's sister-in-law. We married the Moore brothers. While I would like to keep this uplifting and funny, it is with a heavy heart that I cannot.

Our sweet and handsome Bo Bates left us on December 26, 2025. Bo was an amazing brother and friend, and he touched so many lives of people around him. He is survived by his doting mother Denise, his bonus father Larry, Tracy, his bio father, sisters Alex and Kelsie, and twin brothers Matthew and Austin.

Bo spent his life enjoying the outdoors through fishing, hunting, and the freedom of the air. His kindness, humor, and strength had a lasting impact, and we will miss him every day.

We are all heartbroken over Bo’s passing and were unprepared for the expense of a funeral service. We want to give him the memorial he deserves—a meaningful goodbye surrounded by the people he loved. The funeral expenses are high. We have to find a way to pay for embalming or cremation, headstone, bills left behind, a burial container, funeral home-related services, and other costs.

We are actively fundraising to pay for these funeral arrangements and must raise $10,000 by December 29th in order to proceed with the service. If you’re in a position to donate, we would be very grateful. Whatever you can give, it all adds up.

Please use this fundraiser link to help any way possible. We will even start a Meal Train to help with food for the grieving family. This will also help us reach more people who knew Bo by sharing it as well.

Your kindness and support are greatly appreciated. If you cannot donate at this time, please consider a prayer for him and his family.

Holly, Bo's Aunt
