Christopher Bates Obituary
We are sad to announce that on May 6, 2024 we had to say goodbye to Christopher Bates (Equinunk, Pennsylvania), born in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Christopher Bates to show support.
In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact Christopher had on those he encountered along his journey. Though Christopher may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, his essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
He was predeceased by: his father Raymond J Bates Sr.. He is survived by: his mother Linda Day; his stepfather Albert Day of Equinunk, PA; his daughter Kodee Bates Olyphant; his siblings, Colleen Lefferts of Beach Lake, PA and Raymond Bates of Germany; and his stepsiblings, Kevin Day (Suzanne) of Honesdale, PA and Donna Miszler (Jeff) of Hawley, PA. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Marley's Mission, in memory of Christopher's quiet strength and unwavering love for his family. Donations can be sent to P.O. Box 505, Scranton, Pennsylvania 18501, or made online at http://www.marleysmission.com.
