David Austin Bates Obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of David Austin Bates (Calgary, Alberta), who passed away on September 26, 2019, at the age of 73, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of David Austin Bates to show support.
He is survived by: his wife Teresa; his siblings-in-law, Mary Caenepeel (Chris) of Los Angeles, CA and Pat Murray (Lancy) of Kanata, ON; and his nieces, Kathleen (Grant) and Jessica (Charlie). He is also survived by nephews, cousins and long-time friends.
In lieu of flowers or charitable contributions, David asks family and friends to treat themselves to a delicious dinner at a restaurant of their choice and, at some point, drink a toast not to his memory but rather to their friendship, because he was always so very grateful to have had them in his life.
