I first met Fate in 1978 when I joined the North Buncombe Optimist Club. He was very active in the club as a charter member of the club formed in 1970 and served as past president of the club as well as secretary-treasurer for many years. Fate and I rode together to our club weekly meetings for several years. We had wonderful times sharing with each other. I realized quickly that Fate was a special person who truly cared about others. He was a committed and dedicated Christian and loved God and his church very much!! Fate was an humble and kind person always respecting others and living out his faith in his daily walk. He was an ambassador for Christ! He also loved Doris and his family deeply and would often talk about them. Fate was a special friend and I have been blessed tremendously by knowing him. I and all of us will miss Fate very much but know that he now is in heaven in the presence of his Lord! I know that he has a special place that Jesus has prepared for him. Thank you Fate for all that you have done and meant to us!!!
