Brian Lewis Bates, 20, of Lansing, Michigan, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family on March 11, 2022 after suffering a massive stroke. Brian was born in Lansing on July 25, 2001. Family was everything to Brian. Above all else, he loved his family most. He was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. He had a brilliant mind and mastered with ease every project he undertook, from crafts and hobbies to technology. Many of his family and friends relied on Brian to help set up telephone and computer devices. Brian never said "I can't." He loved music and loved to sing and create Beats.
