Alvie Lee Cato, Jr., of Kingsport, TN, passed away from pancreatic cancer on February 13, 2010.
He was preceded in death by his parents Alive Sr., and Clara Lee Rushin Cato Lockett of Rogers, Ark. and his grandparents of Texas.
He is survived by Norma Anderson Cato, wife of over 36 years; his son, Gene Cato; sisters, Pamala Johnson and Debra Cato and brother, Freddie Lockett of Arkansas. Two granddaughters, Terin and Carol, and grandson, James. Great-granddaughter, Cheyanne and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews along with special aunt, Frances and cousin DeWayne of Texas.

Bobby, Nancy, Myla and Mattea Anderson, Charles and Linda Rothwell, Carolyn Sakowicz and Stephanie, Leah and Bryson, and Uncle Kyle Anderson (preceding him in death) and Barbara Stapleton. He was also very close to all his wife's uncles and aunts and their families as well as her grandmothers, Myrtle Anderson and Myrtle Collins. But he was most fond of his twin nieces, Myla and Mattea who drew him many get-well cards and gave him many hugs and "I love you's" which brought him much joy in his life.
He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him. He said he was ready to go to be with Jesus and to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord for those who are saved.

Dear Norma, I am so very sorry for your loss. Words could never describe the loss that you are feeling, but God knows and He will make a way for you to heal,to remember with a smile,and to thank Him...for now you know Lee is sitting at the feet of Jesus with a smile on his lips and praise in his heart for all the glories of Heaven. My prayer for you is that God continues to hold you in the palm of His hand, to surround you with His mercy and grace. He never told us their wouldn't be trials in life, such as this, but He did tell us He would always be right beside us, and He knows every tear that falls from our eyes. I love you Norma and you will be continually in my thoughts and my prayers.
Sincerely,
Emily

Norma,
You have been on my mind and in my heart and prayers almost constantly since we talked on the phone. I can't imagine the heartbreak you must be going through. Find comfort in knowing that your love is not gone forever, he's just gone ahead.
Love you

Norma, I love you and will always be there for you. Lee was my pal and best friend. I loved him dearly. I will miss him and the good times we have had. I am so thankful that he was a part of our family. Our family has been blessed by him in so many ways. His thoughtfulness, his love and his compassion has been an example for all of us. I will never forget the wonderful testimony that he left us with when he said he was ready to go and wanted to be with Jesus. We know we will see him again because we have that hope in Christ.
Your Sister
Linda
