Printed Page 598 . . . . . Thursday, January 18, 2007

served the General Assembly as Chief Counsel to Speaker Bob Sheheen, Counsel to the House Ethics Committee, and Counsel to the Joint Legislative Committee for Judicial Screening; and

Whereas, admired for his political savvy and keen intellect, Steve was sought out for his insight and wise counsel. He was respected by members on both sides of the aisle and was known for his hard work and professionalism; and

Whereas, in 1994, Steve was elected by the General Assembly to be an Administrative Law Judge, where he served with honor and distinction. In 1998, Governor Jim Hodges persuaded Steve to leave the bench and become Deputy Director of the Department of Public Safety; he next served as Chief Legal Counsel to Governor Hodges; and

Whereas, throughout Steve's career in state government he tackled complex issues with diligence and integrity and played an instrumental role in many significant issues, including government restructuring, House and Senate redistricting, the lowering of the confederate flag, and the creation of the state lottery; and

Whereas, Steve was honored for his many contributions and accomplishments in his legal career when in 2002 he received the University of South Carolina School of Law Compleat Lawyer Award; he was also named to America's Best Lawyers in the areas of Administrative Law and Healthcare Law, and he received the Presbyterian College Outstanding Young Alumnus Award in 1998; and

Whereas, Steve was a friend to many members of this General Assembly and was renowned for building and maintaining strong, lasting friendships and for his deep loyalty to his extensive circle of friends; and

Whereas, he was a faithful member of Eastminister Presbyterian Church, where he served as an elder and forum moderator of the Board of Deacons; and

Whereas, in spite of his demanding professional life, his dedication to friends, and his passion for sports, especially baseball and particularly the Red Sox, Steve was above all a devoted family man.


Printed Page 599 . . . . . Thursday, January 18, 2007

He was the beloved husband of Suzanne Hellams Bates and the proud, devoted father of Sarah Rachel and Robert Griffin. Steve was involved with coaching his children's youth baseball, basketball, and soccer teams and was active in every aspect of their lives; and

Whereas, Steve is also survived by his beloved parents, Roy and Sarah Bates, brother and sister-in-law, Brian and Ginger Bates, sister and brother-in-law, Nancy and Cian O'Connor, and his parents-in-law Robert and Caroline Hellams; and

Whereas, Steve, a young, vibrant, vital man of 44 whose life was suddenly and unexpectedly taken long before his time, will forever be remembered for his love of family, life, and friends, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him; and

Whereas, it is proper and fitting for the members of the South Carolina General Assembly to pause in their deliberations to remember and honor such a distinguished favorite son as Stephen Potts Bates. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, express their profound sadness on the death of Stephen Potts Bates of Columbia and extend their deepest sympathy to his family and many, many friends.
