Joe Pate Taylor, age 71, of Rye, went to be with his Lord and Savior Wednesday, May 6, at Baptist Hospital in Little Rock. He was born on March 7. 1955, to Travis and Flossie Gertrude Taylor.
He was a lifelong member of Harmony Freewill Baptist Church in Rye.
Joe retired from Potlatch and then enjoyed many years of bow hunting and fishing. He also loved to tell stories, listen to music and go out to eat. He is now getting to enjoy all of those things with the ones who have gone on before him. Just imagine all the storytelling going on with his Mama, Daddy, sisters Pat and Glenda, and brother Ed, along with other family and friends.
He is survived by wife, Martie Taylor; daughter, Candace Barnard (Joseph) of Rye; grandchildren, Taylor and Callie Jo Barnard; and brothers, Tim Taylor (Teresa) and Bob Taylor, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.
His ashes have been scattered in some of his favorite hunting spots.
