Scott Donald Bates, 43, a lifelong Wenatchee resident, died Monday, April 6, 2009. He was born August 17, 1965, in Wenatchee to Don R. and Karen Bates. He received his education at Wenatchee schools, graduating from Wenatchee High School. He then attended Wenatchee Valley College and Central Washington University, graduating with a double degree in Psychology and Criminal Law. His senior year, he was honored and placed in the Outstanding College Students of America Directory. He attended the ROTC program and taught a class for women students in self defense. Scott was very involved with sport activities, including football, basketball, baseball and was on the Buddy Werner Ski Racing Team. He began riding motorcycles at age seven. His motocross racing continued through college and into the last big race held in the Seattle Kingdome. Scott was also very involved with bicycle motocross racing. He and his dad built Wenatchee's first BMX track. He was awarded a factory Sekai sponsorship and raced every track in Washington State, some in Idaho, and the Nationals in Portland, OR and Vancouver, B.C. Scott also loved the YMCA Karate Taekwondo Program. He worked very hard to be the first young person to receive their Black Belt at such a young age. He continued to train and participate in Karate matches around the state. He loved to joke and laugh. He could call his dad and pretend like he was asking about having a building moved and go on and on. He once called his mother collect and told the operator it was from the Chocolate Chip Cookie Monster.
Scott is survived by his parents; his sister and brother-in-law, Susan and Samer; three nieces, Sabrina, Sarah and Stephanie; his uncle, Dennis Bates; aunt, Doris Blanton; cousins, Sherrie and Harold Wood, Andrea and Gary Ott, David Blanton, Ron Roe, Carl Roe and Evelyn Roe; step-son, Seth Mullens, and Seth's mother, Tess Whitehorn. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Roy and Helen Bates and Rev. and Mrs. Charles Estabrook; and numerous aunts and uncles.
A Private Graveside Service was held at the Wenatchee Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Scott's name to the Cashmere United Methodist Church. Arrangements were by Telford's Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatchee.
