Unexpected Tragedy: Funds for Funeral and Kids' Needs

My Son/Brother and loving father Brian Gates in fidget weather and snow, tragically froze to death early Monday morning of January 20th of 2025.

He left three kids behind, ages 11, 8, and 7 and this loss has left us all heartbroken. In addition to the emotional toll, I am now facing the overwhelming responsibility of covering his funeral expenses and ensuring the kids' everyday needs are met. The funds raised will go directly toward these costs, most importantly help to provide the necessary arrangements for my son’s funeral.

He's is going back to Pine Ridge, South Dakota where the burial will be held.

I have limited time and urgently need to raise funds immediately.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a significant difference in our ability to navigate this challenging time. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
