Wade's obituary

Mr. Wade Alvin Wilmot Jr. , of El Cajon, California went to be with the lord on Friday, August 31, 2018 at Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa, California at the young age of 60. His passing came after a previously undetected and sudden discovery of a Glioblastoma brain tumor. His passing was peaceful and he was surrounded with the love of family and friends in his final hours.

Wade was born in Nashua, New Hampshire on Saturday June 7, 1958 where his father Wade Sr. raised him into a fine young man. He attended Plattsburgh High School in upstate New York. At the young age of 16 he was emancipated and chose a future in the U.S. Army serving stateside at Fort Lewis Army Base Southwest of Tacoma, Washington as an Infantryman .

He met the love of his life Audrey Eileen on his 16th birthday swimming in the river that ran between their home property lines in upstate New York. Wade faithfully and lovingly supported his family through a life of hard and dedicated work in the landscaping field where he eventually came to be known as one of the best and most respected Certified Arborists in San Diego, as well as the State of California working for the last 19 years for New Way Landscaping in San Diego. His love for fishing with his coveted mini pink fishing pole often during round breaks while golfing brought joy to himself and others. Wade enjoyed the great outdoors fishing, shooting, sight seeing since childhood much like his father did, and he passed this legacy onto his children and grandchildren every chance he got relishing in camping trips, fishing adventures, and days on the range together.

Wade is survived by his loving wife of 42 years Audrey Wilmot, his son Jon Wilmot, his daughter Jennifer Miles, and his son in law James Miles, as well as his three cherished and ever-so loved grandchildren Julian Wilmot, Steven Phillips, and Emily Miles, and countless friends and beloved co-workers. He is preceded in death by his father, Wade Wilmot Sr.

The cremation will take place prior to a private celebration of life to be held on Sunday September 16, 2018 in Fletcher Hills, California. Wade will be interned at the Cave Creek National Cemetery outside of Phoenix, Arizona at a future date to be announced. The family is grateful for the condolences, and kind wishes.
