Mr. Pate was one in a million, he loved his family, and most of all his children! He is a shining example for all men to strive to achieve. You could tell that he was loved and will be missed!

I have wonderful memories of Jerry. My first job was actually working for Pate Industries, driving forklifts, loading trailers with Pallets, and other duties.

The Pate's are such a kind and sweet family, and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this season of your lives.

Please accept our sincere sympathy in this great loss. I have only the same memory of Jerry even though I haven't seen him in many years and that is, I never remember seeing him without a big smile and always thought of him as a very sincere person.

You all are in our prayers, and I know God will sustain you through it all.
