Because Wade's death was sudden, his wife Kindra has not yet decided exactly how she wants to honor his memory. She wants to support organizations working on causes he championed: protecting the environment, supporting first-generation students, expanding women's rights, and teaching people of all ages how to use commas. Wade single-handedly provided so much service with such frenetic energy that it will take the efforts of multiple organizations to backfill him during his absence.

And as you all know, Wade loved “projects,” so we think we also need a physical memorial built with some combination of his favorite things: junk metal, wood, and the manual labor of his daughters.

Please share your stories, photos, and memories of Wade on his Facebook page, so that we have them all in one place: https://www.facebook.com/wade…
