Isabelle Tate, 2002 – 2025

Actress Isabelle “Izzy” Tate, 23, died of Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a neuromuscular disease, on Oct. 19. Tate, who was confined to a wheelchair, appeared in the pilot episode of 9-1-1 Nashville, aired this month. The Nashville native, her family wrote, “was full of fire, a fighter, never once making excuses for the fact that she might have a disability relative to others. She was also quite musically inclined, often spending hours writing and recording songs with friends and even publishing a few. What she loved the most though was spending time with family and friends, always the life of the party.” Tate had acted and modeled as a child, and took time off for college; 9-1-1 Nashville was her first adult role.
