Randy Holom says
Wade was someone that you had to know to appreciate. On the surface he may not have impressed but when you saw how much he cared for people and helped people in need you saw the true and good person that he was. My wife appreciated his sincere sympathy for the loss of her mother and her sister and his sincere care for the medical issues she is dealing with. She has said more than once that he gave great hugs. Both our experiences with Wade gave us insight into how truly human Wade was. He was the epitome of the definition of a diamond in the rough! Our sympathies go out to his wife Marissa and his entire family. You are all in our prayers.
Jill says
So sorry to hear this Dot and Wes our prayers for peace and comfort to you all.
