To honor David’s wishes of being cremated and having a small gathering and being able to send him home to be placed at his mother’s grave. Given his sudden passing, medical needs, and not having time to plan for his death, I am needing assistance to help raise money to fulfill his final wishes.

David Bates finally gained his wings on 4.13.2025 after fighting a long battle of heart failure. He was supposed to get a heart transplant within a few weeks and have a second chance in life but ultimately decided to take on a new life as an angel with the lord. He is now watching over his loved ones and those he has always cared for along with this mother, brothers, aunt and best friend. David has a wonderful soul and brought life and love, and comfort wherever he went and will continue to do so from up above.
