1940 ~ 2012
Bud D. Pate, age 71, passed away January 11, 2012, in Holladay, Utah. He was born May 23, 1940, in French Camp, California, to the late Bud W.Pate and the late Norma Stewart Pate.
He attended American Fork High and University of Utah. He married Joan DePew on June 14, 1975 and sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple in 1976. Our handsome, smart, loving Dad returned unexpectedly to his Heavenly Father and the love of his life, Christopher Bud Pate on January 11, 2012 Tammy Pate. What a Wonderful reunion! it had to have been.
Bud has always been a great athlete, exceptional at every sport. He loved to golf, rain or shine, and was Club Champion at Willowcreek Country Club and Jeremy Ranch.
He was honored with 10 Gold Medals from the Olympics at St. George. He was proud of his Royal Scottish heritage, a dedicated genealogist, and meticulous in everything he did. He was an active member of the LDS Church and served in many callings.
He adored and was so proud of his wife, children, and dog, Cocoa. His family meant everything to him! His claim to fame was that he made beautiful babies.
He was extremely bright, graduating with a Master's degree in Geography and taught at the University of Utah. He was a successful Realtor and Mortgage Banker. He had a zest for living, loving, and laughing. A former Mr. Utah, he always stayed in great shape. He will always be a huge part of our lives until we meet again, one sweet day. "We love you, Dad, give Chris a kiss and hug for us"!
Survived by his beloved wife, Joan; children, Troy (Stephanie), Teresa,(Ronald) Tamara (deceased), Christopher (deceased), Brittany, Alexis and Danielle; siblings, Pat Fox (Bill), Kay Pate (Jane), Sue Durrant (Lynn), Julie Blaney (Mel); eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Bud joined the US Navy on 5/19/58, a week before graduating from American Fork High School. He asked Principal Charlie Walker if he could join the Navy prior to his birthday on 5/23/40, so he could get in on the kiddie cruise (3 yr enlistment). Charlie said he would get his diploma, so Bud joined and off he went to San Diego, CA for bootcamp. Bootcamp is rough on a young boy who had never been away from home, away from mom. Much loneliness and marching out in the hot California sun. His nose would sunburn and peel almost every day. After bootcamp, Bud stayed in San Diego for 3 more months for (ICE) Interior Communications Electrician School. Then he attended (MPO) Motion Picture Operators School, also in San Diego. He then went home to American Fork for Christmas 1959. His first tour of duty was in the Norfolk Group Atlantic Reserve Fleet, Portsmouth, VA. He was there for 1960. NGARF was the mothball fleet of ships the Navy had retired but preserved in case of another war. Bud was next transferred to Charleston, SC to serve aboard the USS Salute MSO-470. Then aboard USS Nimble (MSO-459) an ocean going minesweeper. The smallest ships in the Fleet. The Nimble left for a Carribian cruise in Nov 1960, 3 days after his marriage to Ada Paulette Johnston. While traveling south along the east coast, their sister ship , the USS Exultant, caught on fire and 5 sailors were killed. We towed our sister ship into Jacksonville, FL. President Kennedy sent 100 ships to Cuba to show the Russians that we were not going to tolerate missles on Cuba aimed at America. We went to San Juan, Roosevelt Roads, Viegas Island and Guantanimo Bay, Cuba. While in Gitmo he got to see the Bob Hope Christmas special for service men. Bud served 2 yrs 9 mo 26 days.
