Richard Tate Jr. "RJ", 24 years old, passed in Clinton Twp. on November 10th 2025 despite his courageous battle with medical issues. He peacefully surrendered after his remarkable strength leaving us with unforgettable memories.
RJ was born in Detroit, Michigan on July 14th 2001 to Richard "Rick" and Julie Tate. He was welcomed home by his grandmother Marty Tate and his sister Christina. He is survived by his brother's, Chris and Nate and his sister, Erica. His memory will hold a special place in the hearts of uncle Dave and aunt Ada, who cared for him.
RJ blessed us with his gift of life for 24 years. He will be missed also by grandma Donna and grandpa Larry Love along with his loving aunts, uncles and cousins. RJ lit up every room with his smile and laughter no matter what the day brought. He loved cats, video games, Thomas the train, NASCAR and had a great passion with Uncle Dave for the band KISS. His spirit will surround us all and he will be so deeply missed. We love you RJ, fly high buddy.
