James Gates

June 28, 1953 - October 18, 2016

James Morris Gates, 63, died at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 18, 2016 at his home surrounded by his family. Born June 28, 1953, in Salt Lake City, the son of the late James D. and the late Adrienne (Morris) Gates. Jim married Linda on March 17, 1984. He was the owner of Caiman Automotive. He loved cars and was a craftsman at restoring them. Jim had so many talents; he could fix anything and build anything. Jim loved the outdoors. He loved fishing, camping, and gardening. He loved taking his Harley out on rides; every chance he got he was on his bike. The last few years he found sanctuary at his property in Arizona. But most of all he loved being with his family and friends. They were the most important thing to him. Jim always put the needs of others above his own. He was always teaching and inspiring those around him. Jim was full of charity and humility and respected by all. He is the greatest husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend. He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Linda Gates; his son and daughters, Aaron (Laura) Gates, Natalie Gates, Nichole (Brittain) Holt, and Carlee (Matthew) Garlick; also his 11 grandchildren, 3 sisters and 2 brothers, and the rest of his family and friends. Funeral Services will be held Friday, October 21st, at 1:00 pm, at the Highland LDS Chapel, 11162 N. Alpine Hwy., Highland, Utah, where a Viewing will be held prior from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm.
