Ryan Bates


My son is Ryan passed in a motorcycle accident 2 years ago now and he is missed very much by his loved ones. He and I had discussed being organ donors multiple times over the prior years before his passing. When his accident happened I had no doubts as to what he would have wanted and much to my surprise “my procrasting son” had already signed up to be an organ donor. I was so proud of him in that moment even through the grief I was feeling. He was my first of 3 children “my oldest baby” and he gave me so many blessings in life. I am thankful that he through this program was able to bless others lives as well. To the Moon and Back my son forever!! You are with me always.
