We are so sorry to hear of Mac's passing and our heartfelt empathy is with you in the loss of your brother. We hadn't seen or heard of Mac for a long time but remember the many times he came to our house as a friend to our sons. Losing someone so young is not easy but God can give you strength and comfort. Remembering the good times and the funny times will help. Our prayers are with you all.

I remember Mac as being cute, shy, a little goofy, and always really nice. I could always joke around with him, and he always seemed pretty happy. I'm glad I got to know him for the short time that I did. So sorry the Tate family has lost a good brother and friend.

I am so sad to hear about Mac. He had a big heart and was always good to me and Lyndsey. Always smiling and kidding around. My condolences to Roger, Bill, John and Cheech. Rest in Peace, Mac.
