Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin on October 15, 1936, Wade attended St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1962. Because of his great love for the outdoors, he moved to Seattle where he could pursue his interests in sailing, hiking, and skiing. He practiced radiology at St. Cabrini Hospital, and later at Minor and James Medical Clinic in Seattle, and retired in 1998. After retirement, he moved to Kitsap County, where he was an active member of the Kitsap Climbers. Wade is remembered for his sense of adventure, enthusiasm for outdoor activities, and appreciation for nature. His kindness, sense of humor, gentle manner, and twinkle in his eye will be missed by all. He is survived by his wife, Jeanne Zilles Brunette, four children, Julie, Kathryn, Michelle, and Steven, and nine grandchildren. A memorial will be held for Wade on November 22 in Hansville, Washington. Donations in memory of Wade may be made to Inyo County Search and Rescue; P.O.

Dear Brunette Family
I am so sorry to hear of your loss... I remember Dr. Brunette at Cabrini Hospital when he hired me as a medical transcriptionist in 1970.... He was a kind and gentle man always with a twinkle in his eye... God grant him peace.

Dear Brunette Family,
So sorry to hear the sad news. I remember racing with your dad on his sailboat. It been years since we all grew up together back in Innis Arden; but wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and your family is in our prayers.
