Brian "Bo-Cat" Keith Tate, 52, entered into eternal peace on Saturday, February 
20, 2016, at his home in Four Corners, LA.

Brian was born on July 14, 1963, the son of the late Martha Joyce Coleman and 
Albert Tate. He was primarily raised by his loving great-grandparents, the late 
Frank and Easter Coleman and also by Malcolm and Lois Charles of Four Corners, 
LA. 
Brian had a natural talent for entrepreneurship and was the proud business 
owner of the VIP Car Care Center for over 20 years in Franklin, LA. 
He was a well-known, dedicated businessman and highly regarded by many 
community members for his meticulous work, genuine care for others, and warm 
smile. He was a gentle soul with a generous heart...a loving father, 
grandfather, son, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend.

Brian is survived by his son, Brydrick Tate, Broussard, LA, one grandson, Mason 
Tate of Broussard, LA, younger brother, Shannon Stephon (Michelle Renea) 
Thomas, Houston, TX, baby sister, Dr. Sherree Lynette Thomas-Coleman (Patrick), 
Portland OR, and his companion JoAnn McCoy of Franklin, LA

He leaves his loving memories to be cherished by his devoted extended family 
and great friends who cared for him when he needed it most, his great-
aunt/adopted mom, Lois Ann Charles, great uncle, Malcolm Charles, Sr., close 
cousins, Hope Denise Charles, Don Phillips, Malcolm Charles, Jr. and close 
friend Lee Clark

Brian will also be deeply missed by many loved ones, relative, friends, and 
acquaintances to include his three nieces, four nephews, great nieces, great-
nephews, and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins

MK DIXON Funeral Home, 337-940-9253, 211 Main Street, Baldwin, LA is in charge 
of final arrangements.
