We will always be grateful for the time we knew and spent with Jeff, Carol, Molly, and Perry. Jeff led us all to know one another and become FAMILY friends instantly when he chose their home in HS. There are so many fun memories and times we could share from lake days, to race days, to nights out, cookouts, Garvin Garden Christmas lights, Jose's, UNO, times at the pool...Jeff was always COOL. And how could we not mention his love for Freddy's, Sonic, and Ice Cream in general! And jetted baths!!!  His smile and laugh lit up a room. He was gracious, giving, always welcoming, and one of the most patient. He truly loved his family and would do anything for them to make them happy, cheer them on, and support them. You were a great friend to us, Jeff. We are going to miss you greatly. Your presence will be truly missed. We will never forget you and will watch you live on through Molly, Perry, and the love you left with us all. We love our Gates Family.
