Wade was my beloved Uncle and my mother was Wade's oldest sister, Phyllis Jean Meyer. I could'nt reach out to him since 2019. After looking On his FBK page I found out why I wasn't able to text or call him. I was greatly sadden after speaking with Wade only a few months in 2019, Dec. In 2020 April, I was calling him because it was Wade's younger sister's birthdate coming up. In memory of "Donna Meyer"' we would chat about her, GrandMa & GrandPA, and my mother. Wade would always answer if he could. He was my only connection to the only maternal side, a life- line to the maternal family side with my Mother's memories because I was the only daughter of his oldest sister. I will miss talking with him about our shared memories. My UNCLE Wade was always a great Uncle and he made math fun, as a math tutor for me in my worse school subject of math!
Wade had a knack for always teaching. Life was about learning as I remember as a young child, even now as a Grandmother myself. When I was a student in-need of an excellent tutor one summer because I had to catchup on my learning math skills for passing grades because I had a head injury in the 3rd grade at Paradise Elementary School due to this accident on the playground during the Bell ringing at Recess while dangling on those dangerous monkeybars!
I remember mother ask Uncle Wade to help me re-learn and understanding putting on the "thinking cap" of using my mind to be in-sync thinking on math problems which seemed so difficult at first then it was simple like handwriting. He was encouraging with his words of wisdom and kindness. I miss his converations of helpfulness through the passing of our family loved ones. AlSo I will miss you Wade in loving rememberance with all our preceeding family especially which was helpful to release the grief of loosing my Aunt Donna early in my life because we were both like sisters due to the close age 9 mns apart. After I was older I was told that "hurricane Donna" hit Key West, Fl *( when I was barley 9 months old*) back in the year for her birth. Although I have learned to adjust now without the gift of his presence there is a great part of my heart missing without UNCLE Wade's encouraging words of strength in my life , but I feel his memory of as in the sight of a Blue Bird. That was Wade's favorite type of bird to watch its beauty. I know we will ALL meet again in the end. I send loving prayers to uncle WADE'S children Mathew, and his daughters Kaley and Lisa..I remember Lisa and Mathew I met when they were very young, when Mathew was a newborn and Lisa and her mother and I have a picture of that day to remember. May God Bless Us with extra strength as in these days ith shifting times. Now, when ever I see a Blue Bird I think of Wade because during the month of April 2020 there was always a beautiful Blue Bird tapping on my window pane, and some how I remembered that was Wade's favorite bird that came to visit me. I think he sent me a picture of the Blue Bird too once in backyard with snow.

Life sometimes gives us gifts late, ... almost too late. For Wade and I, who found out we were cousins, it was only just in time. We never met. Indeed, we never spoke, but we wrote to one another to share our family connections. He was an inquisitive and loving person, who loved his Dad. He was a learner, and open to knowing truths as a scholar, a scientist and a fine mind and teacher, from what I read. Most of all he told me how much he loved his family. I am blessed that I at least had a chance to read his words, and will be patient until I can shake his hand and give him the hug he deserves. To his family, I grieve the loss of this fine man too early. I am blessed to have discovered he and I were related.

Well Wade it's been over a year now, so hard to believe that you have crossed over..... Still seems like I could pick up the phone and hear your voice and start laughing together about some silly thing that happened.... Sure miss the crazy times you and I had together over 60 years of a friendship..... I have to say it's really hard losing your best friend, I was concerned when you didn't answer my message a few days before you passed.... Of course you didn't always get back to me right away LOL, but something about that just didn't seem right...... To Lisa, Matt and Kayle always know that your dad touched many lives......, He was smart, a ton of fun, positive about life and all of us that have known him we're blessed to have him be a part of our life.... See you again somewhere down the road and you never said bye you always said.... "so long" .... So I leave you with that my friend, God Bless ..... so long.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear this. Wade and I dated awhile back in 2005. We remained friends and would meet from time to time. Not knowing, I tried to call him tonite and found the number disconnected. Did a little research, and found out. I had talked to him mid April, and it looks like he passed the next week. He was an awesome man, so very funny and smart. Loved his family so much. My condolences to his family.

Wade and I were cousins. Last year he reached out to me, to help him research those links through his father's line. It was my greatest honor to share with him what I knew, and to share with him the means to research those connections even farther. His enthusiasm and love for his parents and his own family shone through in remarkable ways as we exchanged ideas and information. I will miss him, though we never met, for his love of life, and loyalty to those he shared his life with. To his children and his siblings, I thank you for sharing him with me, and send my deepest condolences and sorrow at Wade's passing. I count him among the blessings of my family.

I met Wade at book events. We both wrote humor so we immediately became friends. He was a great guy and I will miss him.

I worked with Wade when he was the Math Consultant at the Summit County Educational Service Center. Wade was always quick to elicit a laugh with his excellent humor. He was always quick to elicit respect from educators with his profound mathematical knowledge and his ability to advise and help them impart that knowledge to students.Wade is now missed and will continue to be so.Live on in our hearts, my friend.

I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. We were both math teachers back in the day and I got him into "Teachers Teaching with Technology". We had many great times professionally and talking old cars. He was a great guy and a good friend.
He will be missed...

It was just a year ago that Wade and Kaley came to Arizona and attended an Indians spring training game with me and my wife. It was awesome catching up on each other's life. Afterwards we treated them to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant and had a great time. I remember in high school Wade was always nice to everyone, whether it was one of his teammates or any other his other nerdy classmates. The world needs more people like him and I am deeply sadden by his passing. May his family always remember what a great man he was with a great sense of humor. Bless all of you!

I will always think of Wade on my Sheila who passed also on August 8. They both shared the same birthday! We both always acknowledged it through a text! That was a great day to be born! See you someday in Heaven, until then you will reside in my heart ❤ as a sweet face that I looked forward to seeing at all the get togethers that I was able to attend! Rest peacefully until we all meet again!
