“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” ~Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭13-14

Jude David Tates, who would of been three months old in April, died peacefully on Friday, March 28, 2025, surrounded by his dedicated mother, father, siblings, and entire family at the NICU at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick, NJ.

Born on January 10, 2025, in Somerville, NJ, Jude was the cherished son of Mariajose Ulloa-Aniceto and Richard Tates, and was loved immensely by his two brothers and his sister, as well as by his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and so many who were touched by his presence. Though his physical time on earth was short, Jude’s spirit will remain and inspire goodness and hope in generations to come.

A special thanks to the loving team at the NICU who took such tender care of Jude and his entire family. Endless gratitude especially to Nina, one of Jude’s nurses, for making Jude feel so loved in the NICU. Your kindness, patience, and warmth have made a difference in his journey. It means the world to know he was in the hands of someone who treated him like family. We are forever grateful!
