Michael Goldsberry wrote a sympathy message

“Of all the teachers I've had, Mr. Tate taught the most. Not only about singing, but about life and friendships. The people I sang with in the Choir were all fantastic people, It was my favorite part of High School by far. Rest in peace Mr. Tate, your work in Henderson and the lives you touched will never be forgotten. Sincerely, Michael Goldsberry”
