September 9, 1940 — September 24, 2024

Sidney Eugene Pate, 84, of Calera, Alabama got his promotion to his much desired Heavenly home on Tuesday, September 24, 2024.  He was at home surrounded by family and friends.  Sid was a wonderful and committed christian man.  He was a faithful member of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church #1.


He was born to Oscar Lee and Ella Mae Pate on September 9, 1940, in Clanton, Alabama.  He lived a lifetime of service.  Joining the Navy after high school, he proudly served his country and afterward started a career in Law Enforcement.  He retired from Alabaster Police Department after eighteen years of service, where his colleagues affectionately nick named him "Sgt. Pa Pa".  He loved helping people and really loved his family and friends.


Sidney enjoyed camping and the outdoors.  He was the best shot on the Police force and had trophies to prove it.  He loved to ride motorcycles, could drive like a bandit and loved to cut his grass.  He also loved a little dog names Banjo.  Sid had a great sense of humor, an easy smile and enjoyed everyone he met.  He leaves behind a lot of good friends because he was a good friend.


Pa Pa Pate is survived by his Daughter, Lori (Tim) Culver.  Grandchildren, Amber Giles, Shannon (James) Henry, Austin (Jordan) Culver and Emilee Culver.  He had seven great-grand children, Emma, Aubrey, Ezra, Iris, Cami, Ellie and Owen.
