Adam's obituary

🌟 The Adam Bates Memorial Fund

Lighting the way for youth—just as Adam did.

Adam Bates was a radiant star. His strength, deep faith, and unwavering love for young people illuminated every life he touched. He believed in showing up—especially for youth—and his light continues to guide us.

At the request of those closest to him, we’ve established the Adam Bates Memorial Fund to support future youth camps and mission trips. These contributions help teens experience the same kind of healing, connection, and spiritual growth that shaped Adam’s own journey.

Right now, we’re raising funds to send youth to Rocky Mountain High in Estes Park, Colorado in July 2026—a place especially dear to Adam’s heart. It was there, as a high school student, that he first felt the power of community, faith, and purpose.

Your gift helps carry Adam’s legacy forward—making sure every young person who needs this experience can receive it. Whether it’s a campfire moment, a quiet prayer, or a lifelong friendship formed in the mountains, your support makes it possible.

Adam believed in showing up. We honor him by doing the same.
