Gilbert Pate, Jr., 96, of Shelbyville, Indiana, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 13, 2026. He was born on February 3, 1930 in Shelbyville, Indiana, the oldest child of Gilbert and Odessa Pate.
Gilbert worked as a manager at General Motors for over 30 years before he retired. He was also a barber at Joe’s Barber Shop in Greensburg and proudly kept his barber’s license updated throughout the years.
Gilbert was a simple man who kept to himself and enjoyed the times he was able to gather with family for birthdays and reunions. He enjoyed exercising and riding his bicycle around his neighborhood, watching the news, going to lunch with his daughter and son-in-law, reading the newspaper, and gardening. He especially enjoyed a friendly- or sometimes not-so-friendly- game of golf with his brother, Pete.
