On March 6, 2022, Charles D. Tate, Jr., passed away at the age of 93 surrounded by loved ones. I’m sure there was a sweet reuniting with Stephanie and Briana. And many sweet reunions with his parents, siblings and friends, who had previously passed away.
The family gathered together, and it was a tender and bittersweet time for us all!
The night before Dad’s viewing, several of the missionaries who had served in the Missouri St. Louis mission during mom and dad’s time as Mission President from 1983-86, came to visit mom. She really enjoyed their visit.
We held his viewing at the old 13th Ward Church building on March 11, 2022.
The funeral was held on March, 12, 2022 in the same Church building.
Dad was buried in the Orem Cemetery. We sang Sinter Klaas Koepuntje as each child, grandchild, and great grandchild put a tulip on dad’s casket.
We all miss our dad, grandpa, papa, and grandpa great. But no one more than mom misses her Chuck. We are thankful to have had dad with us for so long and are so blessed to have our beautiful mom still with us.
