Gary, I met you about 15 years ago when you worked at walmart. I was so fascinated with all you talked about with your turkey and deer hunting adventures. You were so zealous about your hunting passion which drew me to hunt even more and push myself harder to be the best. We lost touch for years .... But we re connected last year and picked right back up. I was so glad you came down and hunted with me last spring in Florida. Those are ten days that I will never forget. Not only did we have a blast, kill a few long beards, and a nice wild boar, but you made life long friends with my family. Me and Alex came up to pa a month later and you welcomed alex into your home like he was your own. I thank God that we had the chance to re connect Gary! Those 2 weeks of hunting between Florida and Pennsylvania ..... I will never forget. And for that I thank you Gary. Rest in peace my ole friend. Till we meet again. Save me a spot high on the ridge I will meet you there someday... Protect your two boys my friend. We miss you Gary Bates. R. I. P

I didn't know Gary personally, but we went to school together. I always remember him wearing that big smile whenever I would see him in the hallway. You may think you know someone, but may never know what that someone holds inside. It's so unfortunate that God takes the best from us. I pray that Gary is at peace and is in a happier place. I pray for comfort and peace for his family and close friends as this is a tremendous loss.
