He considered himself blessed to have five wonderful children, great friends and a church family. Wade loved his five children and took joy in supporting their passions. He was also a proud grandpa to Emilia Halvorson.

He loved fishing, found peace in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and shared a special bond with his children through their love of Star Wars. Wade’s passion for helping others and his devotion to family, friends and God made him a friend to many and a source of strength to all who knew him.
