Joseph Wyatt Gates of Raft River was identified as the firefighter who died following a rollover crash involving a fire truck operated by members of the Raft River Fire District on Monday night.

The tragedy has brought additional heartbreak to Gates’ family, particularly his wife, Madi, who is now facing the devastating loss of her husband while also worrying about her brother, who was seriously injured in the same crash.

Madi recently welcomed a baby and is now left to navigate life without her husband while supporting her family through an incredibly difficult period.

According to Bateman, Tegan remains hospitalized and is recovering after undergoing back surgery following the crash.

Moved by the circumstances surrounding the incident, Bateman has organized two separate fundraisers to provide financial assistance to the families as they face the emotional and financial challenges ahead.

“I just really want Madi to be able to stay home with that baby and not have to go to work or make a rent payment,” Bateman said. “She just needs to be home and take this time to heal.”

The fundraising efforts are intended to ease some of the financial burdens facing the families, allowing them to concentrate on recovery, healing and supporting one another during this painful time.

As the community mourns the loss of Joseph Wyatt Gates, thoughts and support are also with Grant Tegan as he continues his recovery in the hospital.
