Help Us Honor David Ates' Memory

Hello, my name is Samantha Ates. My father's name is David Ates. He has recently passed away from congestive heart failure at the young age of 58.

My family and I are having a difficult time finding funds in enough time to give him a proper send-off, so please, if you would be so kind and genuine to donate anything, anything helps. I just want him to be sent off like he deserved. He was an amazing man, a great father, a great uncle, a big brother, a little brother, a son, a nephew, a father figure to many of my friends and my boyfriend, and he loved life. Sometimes he was angry, but overall, no one ever really saw the real him behind closed doors. He was sweet, kind, and loving. He was the most loyal person I’ve ever known, and he loved all the animals, but after they loved him first. He was possibly the funniest man I knew. He loved to talk about God and teach me about His word and how important learning about saving my soul was. He always made sure I was somehow in the word, whether that was going to church or if he was speaking about God, and I’m forever thankful for how he raised me, and I’ll live by it forever.

Thank you for your time - Ates Family
