The Bates Family

We have received devastating news that our dear friend, Ben Bates, was taken from this world on October 13, 2015 in a tragic plane crash.
  Ben was serving as a Bishop in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was a wonderful husband,  amazing father to 6 beautiful children, and a great  friend to so many.
  Angie and her precious children are absolutely devastated, his family was his life and he will be missed beyond measure.
 They will have a funeral in Kansas and then transport his precious body to Driggs, Idaho for another funeral where he will be buried beside his father and baby Jack, the son they lost 4 years ago.
  We know there is nothing we can do to ease this precious family’s pain but we would like to make some small contribution to help with the upcoming financial costs and burdens this family will face. Thank you so very much for all your love and support.
