Joseph Tate Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gallagher Funeral Home and Crematory - Ball on Dec. 11, 2025.
Joseph Carey Tate, age 51, entered eternal rest on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, in Lecompte.
A Graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m. in Springhill Cemetery on Thursday, December 11, 2025, with Bro. Clark Palmer officiating.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Leon C. and Ruth Tate; and maternal grandparents, Babe and Anabelle Anderson.
Those left to cherish his memory include his parents, Gene and Connie Tate; brother, Byron Tate and wife April; sister, Regina Ganey and husband Shannon; 5 nieces and nephews; and 6 grand nephews.
Joseph was a great son, brother, and uncle. He was a quiet and reserved man, but he loved people in his life in his own way. He worked for 20 years at South Grand Auto in Lecompte, and in his spare time he enjoyed working on and restoring cars. Joseph left his own unique mark on the world and will forever be missed by those that loved and knew him.
