Brian Michael Gates was a wonderful, loving, and tenderhearted young man. His beautiful smile was infectious and he lived to laugh. Brian cherished his two service dogs, Zoey (retired) and Baby. He was deeply loved by his family and so many people who cared for him. He is survived by his parents, five siblings, grandparents, uncle and aunts, several great aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. Brian will be missed dearly by all who knew him.
