December 30, 2025
It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my husband, Roger Gates, on December 30th, 2025  peacefully at his  home of Kingman AZ.  

He is now joined with both parents, Robert & Phyllis Gates, & brother Allan Gates, & nephew Diego Hernandez, who preceded him in death.

Roger was a cherished father, son, grandfather (Grandpa Turtle), Uncle, friend, & my social butterfly. Before retirement, he was a remarkable/dedicated, and committed employee at Speedco (Love’s Truck Care). He was known for his work ethic, “I work, therefore I am”, infectious laugh, kindness, & passion for trains.  His  departure has left our family navigating immense grief.

We had some very adventurous and fantastic times over these last 25 years! Thank you all for your love and support and for being a part of the journey.

He is survived by:

Sisters: Nancy Reisinger, Ann Morales, & Shelli Hamilton.

Children: Janey, Nick, Skylar, & stepchildren Dustin & Brandon.

Grandchildren: Stone, Story, Eli, Nicky, Alyssa, Keni, Leah, Wesley,  Teagan, Thacher, Lex, & Flint.

Nephews: Matthew and Ryan Gates and Eric Reisinger. Nieces: Sabrina and Amanda gates,  Brehana and Gabriela Hernandez and Eligia Gonzalez, &  Hali Morales

Celebration of life will be held in Maricopa AZ,  on March 28, 2026. They’ll be a Facebook event posted shortly with a GoFundMe account.
