911 Nashville honors Izzy Tate in on-air memorial

The ABC drama 911 Nashville closed its Thursday, October 30 episode with an on‑air memorial honoring actress Isabelle Tate, who died on October 19 at age 23. The brief title card read "In loving memory. Izzy Tate 2002–2025" and paid tribute to the actor who appeared in the series pilot earlier this month.

Tate, credited as Izzy Tate, had a small but memorable role in the show’s premiere, playing Julie, a woman in a wheelchair who attends a club where one of the series’ central characters, Blue Bennings, is working. The pilot, filmed in June, was Tate’s first series booking, her talent agency said. The agency also confirmed she died peacefully and asked for privacy for her family.

The McCray Agency and Tate’s obituary said she had a rare form of Charcot‑Marie‑Tooth disease, a progressive neuromuscular disorder that can cause muscle weakness, sensory loss and other complications. The Charcot‑Marie‑Tooth Association describes the condition as multisystem and progressive, and medical sources note it can affect muscles used for breathing in advanced cases. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested memorial contributions to the Charcot‑Marie‑Tooth Association.
