    Wade was a sweet soul that went beyond his past. He truly loved his sister Dawn and his children. Rest in peace Wade!

    Wade was one of our neighbors when we were kids. We all went to church together. I remember we had VBS this one year and we had Roger Kinard as our teacher. At the end of our lesson Roger asked us all to bow our heads and close our eyes. He asked if there were any that didnt know where they would spend eternity, three people that night raised their hand. Roger prayed with those 3 people and each gave their life to the Lord. Wade was one of those three. I am praying for his family during their loss.
