I'm so sad to hear about your lost. Lyle was truly an
amazing person , husband , and father. Lyle was
really a joy to be around with when he would
visit with the neighbors. Will truly miss him and
will always have a spot in my heart for him.

Lyle was one of a kind. Always ready to lend a hand with whatever you were doing. And would know more about it then you did.

Lyle was like family. He was a friend and like a brother. He was your go to guy if something was broken if he couldn't fix it time for new. You could be sitting looking at the lake. Or breaking a tractor pulling stumps!!! At lake cushman, why'll watching raccoons drink your beer that was floating in the creek. There was NEVER a dull moment. I will miss you.

Lyle I know you are at peace. It will be hard to go on without you. But in my heart you'll stay. Right now I would do anything for that daily phone call. I know how smart you are so don't feel the need to place them from heaven that's dads trick. Every holiday and family gathering will never be the same. Especially at Christmas when you play your trumpet ❤Your my brother, your my friend ! I hope you know how much I love you

Lyle and Shelley blessed our lives in the years that our paths intersected. Lyle was such an encouragement. His friendship is a treasured gift. We are saddened at his loss and for what it means to Shelley and their large, loving family. But we rejoice that Lyle is in the visible presence of the God he loved and served. We love you, Bates family. May God's peace be yours.
