Obituary For Mr. Roger Pate
Roger was born July 16, 1961 to Steve and Eva Lee Whittle Pate in Ashburn, Georgia.
Roger was a man gifted with a skill of working with his hands. He enjoyed repairing/restoring engines of all types, especially small engines. He loved working on engines in his own shop. Specifically engines that others might have discarded or given up on.
Roger enjoyed spending time with family, helping with charitable events, and whatever his wife signed him up for. He was a true Florida Gator fan and never missed a sporting event. He was also an avid NASCAR enthusiast.
Roger is survived by his wife, his best friend of 45 years, Paula Chappell Pate. His 4-short-legged furry companion Scrappy. His mother Eva Lee Pate of Ocala, Florida. His sister Donna Tyre, brothers Gary (Regina) Pate and Jackie (Lori) Pate all of Ocala, Florida. Special children in his life, Michael, Lauren, and Gabriel Anderson of Collinsville, Ms.
Roger was preceded in death by his Grandparents Maxie and Lucille Pate, PH and Ruthie Whittle, his Dad Steve Pate. He was also preceded in death by his special friend and Mother-in-law, Jean Chappell.
