To Tates Family,
It's been many years since you left Santa Rosa, but I remember. Tate was such a good guy to work with, (Town and Country Market) He was a passonate person in what ever he did, I remember him dancing to the letters of his name when he took dance. His halloween trip to San Francisco going on the bus in his outfit. We laughed so much. We watched them make the movie Scream together, and how he helped me as I went through my divorce. I will remember Tate always, my heart goes out to you.

To Tate's family;
Tate was a beautiful human being. He was talented to the deepest core, sensitive to all, creative in ways I could only hope to be.
When he smiled, and I was lucky enough to see it, his smile could light a thousand dark rooms.
I enjoyed the creative work he and I were invloved with at Piner High.
He always listened to me, and understood my writing and my art. He will forever be missed and honored as an amazing artist, and human being, and most of all, friend.
I wish you peace and warmth in this difficult time. I hope that his work and life on this earth will keep you close to him, and his memory will bring you joy.
I am just so sorry.

Peace be with you, and God Bless.
