Mr. Pate worked hard all his life, first when he was pulled out of school in the third grade and hired out to dig a ditch for a quarter every three rods, when he farmed, when he worked at Reynolds in the pot rooms until his back couldn't be fixed any more, then in his garden. His main goals in life were to take care of his family and to serve his Lord and Savior. He did that until his dying day. Mr. Pate and his wife, Madge, were charter members of Muscle Shoals Baptist Church. One of his proudest achievements was being ordained a deacon. He was also very proud to be a Mason.
Pallbearers will be family and friends.
Honorary pallbearers will be Hershell Pounders, Junior Elliott, Larry Thompson, Irvin Sledge and Ralph Garner.
