After a full life of serving his Lord, at 93, Aubrey Brown Pate went to see Him face to face Sept. 30, 2011.
Aubrey was born Aug. 17, 1918, to James and Rachel Pate at home in Paul, Ala.
He was a 1940 graduate of Holmes Bible College in South Carolina. His pastorates began in Flomaton, Ala., and ended in Evergreen, Ala. He also was credited with quality home constructions and contracting jobs.
In his latter years, hundreds were blessed to receive his hand-created jar lid openers.
Louise Wood Pate was Aubrey's "bride" of 66 years. He also said "See ya later" to his daughter, Patricia Robinson (Oland), of Killen, Wesley Pate (Lynn), of Florence, and Libby Alexander (Fred), of Wiggins, Miss.
His faithful prayers always included his nine grandchildren, Michele Pennell, Bryan Robinson, Chris Eggers, Scott Pate, Kim Williamson, Tim Robinson, Jeremy Pate, Amber Recer and Tyler Eggers. His 19 great-grandchildren kept him on his knees a little longer.
Aubrey was one of 11 siblings, but is only survived by one sister, Hazel Culp, of Andalusia, Ala., his extended family at Faith Church and many friends.
Aubrey answered to several names, but "Man of God" best described him. His legacy of unconditional love will not be forgotten.
Visitation will be 6-8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011, at Greenview Funeral Home, Florence. A celebration of Aubrey's life will take place at a memorial service at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011, in the Greenview Chapel. Burial will be in Garden of the Bible at Greenview Memorial Park. Brother Henry Melton and Brother Tommy James will be officiating. His grandsons will serve as pallbearers.
Arrangements by Greenview Funeral Home.
