Bart was a proud business owner of Bart’s Portable Building Movers and spent 27 years driving trucks. He owned and operated Trails End Trailer Park in Maurice LA for 20 years. He loved to work and devoted his time working on his tractors and developing his property.
He had many hobbies, he loved driving his kart through the property and camping with his family. He’d spend time with family listening to music and swimming and bbqing. He loved practicing target shooting with his son BJ and son in laws in the back yard. He had just purchased a truck for his son and was so happy to be able to buy his first vehicle. He would talk politics with his youngest daughter Beth and always offered to build anything needed for his grand pups. He spent weekends with his wife trying new recipes and watching movies together. They always sat together to end the day watching a favorite tv show. He enjoyed flying his drone and was an avid collector of coins, records, and guns and knives.
Bart passed on his love of classic country music and Cajun two stepping to his eldest daughter Kandace and loved spending time with his grandchildren. Whether it was talking to his granddaughter about school, or watching his grandson play tee-ball. He would do anything to make them happy and they will miss him deeply.
Most of all he loved his family and wanted to provide for his family no matter what. He held so much pride in his family name and always told each of us how proud he was of us.
He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Sandra Garett Choate; only son, Barton Dale Choate the 2nd; two daughters, Kandace C. Klorer and her husband Anthony Klorer, and Beth E. Choate and her husband, Damon John Migues Jr.; two grandchildren, a granddaughter and grandson; father, Kenneth G. Choate and his wife, Marilyn; mother, Linda Miller Stewart and her husband, Charles; and two sisters, Nadine C. Davis and her husband, Ken, and Shannon C. Lee.
