Arthur Tate Obituary

Arthur William "Art" Tate, age 85, passed away peacefully at home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, on November 7, 2025.
Art was born on August 24, 1940, in Haskell, TX. In 1994, Art and Maureen relocated to Lake Havasu City, AZ. They founded Nationwide Homes. In 2007 they transformed Pirate Cove Resort-a nationally recognized destination known for its warmth, hospitality, and world-class experiences for high-performance boating, extreme sports, and desert recreation. Art was an extraordinary businessman whose greatest passion was helping others succeed. With unwavering belief in people, Art was kind, caring, and deeply committed to those around him, always encouraging people to be the best versions of themselves. He approached life with courage, focus, and an unshakeable commitment to those he loved. Art's legacy lives on in the vast number of people he inspired. Art's legacy lives on in the family he loved, the communities he helped build, and the countless people whose lives he touched. A private service will be held at Queen of Heaven Cemetery Chapel in Rowland Heights, CA. The family welcomes friends to share their sentiments and memories in the comments. Your reflections are truly appreciated by all.
