Randy Bates-loving son, brother and uncle

Hi! My name is Shawn Burgher. My brother Randy Bates was found deceased on December 4, 2023. He was not ill, that we knew of. His death is under investigation as his home, personal belongings, identification, bank cards, and money were all taken. He was a Marine, he was a hard worker at the honeybee farm in Florida and in Wisconsin. He was a jack of all trades and knew a little bit about everything. He had great lifelong friendships, and he immediately made new friends wherever he went. He was sweet, kind, and gentle to all mankind, and animals. He always noticed and was sensitive to the little things that made the world great. He loved God, and preached the good word wherever he could. He was a solid man of few words. He made the world a better place, and will be deeply loved and missed by all that knew him. May his soul rest in peace. I am making arrangements with the help of my older brother and mother to bring him home and give him the service he deserves. Any contribution toward these efforts is greatly appreciated.
