Andrew Charles Bates

I met Andrew and his sister on swimteam, I believe one time I was in a car with them and we were all singing to Relient K. They were nice enough to drive me to a swim meet. From my short time around him I could tell he was full of kindness and excitement, and always looking for an opportunity to laugh. I´m incredibly sorry for this loss, and although I haven´t spoken to Andrew since those days, my positive impression of him never went away and this news was painful to discover. May the family continue to heal and know that his impact on others is infinite.
