Larry Dean Tate, 72, of Des Arc passed peacefully in his home early Sunday morning on August 28th surrounded by his family ready to go home to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Larry was preceded in death by his parents Alice and Wayne Tate of Des Arc, his baby sister Peggie and two brothers Jimmy and Jackie Tate.

Larry is survived by his children, Dena (Phillip) Hamilton and Vince (Ariel) Tate. He also has three grandchildren: Lauren and Tate (Dena's Children) and Addison (Vince's Daughter)

Larry is a retired farmer who enjoyed nothing more than to ride the farm roads watching his son farm while his heavily creamed coffee sloshed all over the dash and down the windshield. He spent his days contemplating how to better the farm and spent his afternoons enjoying the company of his dog, Bella, who is his dear companion. Larry always had sound fatherly advice and was a great friend to have. Larry enjoyed the change of season on the farm. He couldn't wait until Winter to discuss next year's plans for improvement. Larry's last year has been filled with laughter, entertainment and keeping his family and caregivers on their toes. He will be dearly missed by all.
