Dean Bates
died on 02/04/03
aged 32
DOB 06/09/71
from South Elmsall, but lived in south kirkby.
Dean was attacked near his home on March the 25th and he later passed away in Leeds General
Infirmary on April 2nd.
Dean Bates was a father of three lovely children named Jack, Shannon and Alex. He was a wonderful
father and cared for his children above all else.
Jack was aged 4, shannon aged 3 and alex aged 12 months when dean passed away.
Dean not only left behind enormous amounts of friends but his beautiful children and his loving
family. His mum Carole, dad malcolm and his grandmother, Jean. Not failing to mention his sisters
and their familys.
Dean wasnt always the best judge of character, he always saw the good in everyone!
But there was one thing he was especially good at, behind being a great dad, son and grandson and
that was being a good friend and next door neighbour. He would do anything for anyone. If he had his
last pound in his pocket and you needed it more than him then you would have it.
He was the most genuine friend i have ever had.
He was also the best babysitter ever too!!!! hahaha
I would baby sit for Dean and he would do the same for me.
When i often sit back and think about Dean he always makes me smile just as he did when he was
alive. Always full of smiles and humour.
I miss you so very much Dean and wish that you could have been there this year when i got married. I
didnt have any of my friends there but i know you was watching down.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye, you were
gone before we knew it, and only
God knows why?
Farewell Dean
I miss you so much,
Until we meet again.
light a candle,
see it glow,
watch it dance,
when you feel low,
think of me,
think of light,
I'll always be here,
day or night,
a candle flickers,
out of sight,
but in your heart,
I still burn bright,
think not of sadness,
that I'm not near,
think of gladness,
and joyous cheer,
I have not left,
I am not gone,
I'm here to stay
my little one,
so when you light a candle
and you see it glow
and you watch it dance
in your heart you'll know
that I would never leave you
even when you feel so blue
I'm sitting up here with the Lord
and now watching over you.
LOVE AND MISS YOU DEAN XXX
~~~~~~~~~~~ Someday ~~~~~~~~~~~
Someday once more we'll meet you,
No one knows just when,
We'll meet in a lovely place
Never to part again.
Someday once more we'll meet you
And feel your tender touch
And tell you again what you've always known
That we love you very much

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
You walked with me,
Footprints in the sand,
And helped me understand,
Where I'm going,
You walked with me,
When I was all alone,
With so much unknown,
Along the way,
Then I heard you say,
I promise you,
I'm always there,
When your heart is filled with sorrow,
And despair, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.
I see my life flash across the sky,
So many times have I been so afraid.
And just when I, have thought I lost my way,
You gave me strength to carry on,
It's then I heard you say,
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled
With sorrow and despair
And, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.
When I'm with you,
Well I know you've been there,
And I can feel you when you say,
I promise you (you)
I'm always there
When your heart is filled (when your heart)
With sadness and despair (and despair)
I'll carry you when you need a friend (need a friend)
You'll find my footprints in the sand. (I promise you)
Ohh. (I'm always there)
When your heart is full of
Sadness and despair, (and despair)
I'll carry you when you need a friend. (I'll carry you)
You'll find my footprints in the sand.
Over the clouds and far away theres a land that we all go
Pass the moon and pass the stars to a place that we all know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Theres a golden gate and coloured stairs for all of us to climb.
Its there we find our resting place where were free all the time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There a pair of wings that belong to us our names writen on each one
Like all the wings our angels get when god takes them and their gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Its there that is the resting place of each and every one
A garden made thats full of love to help us all move on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♥ღ♥ Morning Will Come ♥ღ♥
♥ღ♥ Brokenhearted...
How can I bear the pain?
So many plans.. permanently interrupted.
Hopes...dashed
All gone.
Why?
Why this?
Why us? Why me?
Helplessness...hopelessness...
Life will never be the same again.
Is it even worth living?
Where are you God?
I'm right here beside you, my child.
Even through you may not feel my presence,
I'm holding you close under the shadow of my wings.
I will walk with you through this dark night
Do not shrink from weeping
I gave you tears for emotional release
Don't try to hide your grief
Let it become a source of healing
A process of restoration
For I have planned it so.
Those who morn shall be blessed
I'll be holding onto you
Even when you feel you can't hold onto me
Seek my face, child of mine
Receive my promise, impossible, as it may seem now
That joy will come in the morning
It may take much time
but I will heal your broken heart
I know the night seems endless
But Morning Will Come!
I have promised ♥ღ♥
Always In My Thoughts xXx
dean
You have always been a friend to me,
From the first day that we met,
You are someone very special,
That I never will forget.
You have a way about you,
That always makes me smile,
You talk to everybody,
With confidence and style.
Friendship is a very special thing,
Like a flower it must grow,
To show it's natural beauty,
That's inside our very soul.
You are a very heartfelt person,
You care about everyone,
You know when to stop and listen,
You know when to laugh and have fun.
So when life seems over whelming,
And you feel like your burdens won't end,
I will be there to comfort you,
Because you are my special friend.
Don,t think of them as gone away
their journey has just began
life hold,s so many facet,s
this earth is only one.
Just think of them as resting
from the sorrow and the tears
in a peace of warmth and comfort
where there are no day,s or year,s
Think of how they must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away
And think of them as living
in the heart,s of those they touched
for nothing loved is ever lost
and they were loved so much
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
