My dear friend, Sandy,
It always was and will always be Sandy and Wade. The bond between you both is unique and rare. Never have I seen such love, joy, laughter, adventures and togetherness as the two of you. How blessed you are to have experinced something that few of us ever will. My special memory was the rose that he gave to you on Valentine's Day, only to ask if he could give it to me when the two of you stopped by to visit me at my home, being all alone on that day. Only the both of you would show such compassion and love towards another. You gave eachother life and it lives on. With each tundra flower, to a caribou running, a boat on the sea, a fish on your line, to your lovely home that the both of you worked so hard on...Wade will be there. You know how God and he together prepared for this parting, and they continue to prepare for you to join them when the timing is right.
Love,
Mark Osredker

Sandy,
Words can't express how deeply saddened I am to hear about Wade. I will miss his humor, his laugh ( and it was a VERY distinctive laugh), and, most importantly, his presence. Men like Wade are rare. Prudhoe just won't be the same without him. I'm glad that the two of you were able to share your lives together.

Dearest Sandy,
I am shocked and deeply saddened for you... You are a wonderful person and from what I knew of Wade and your relationship - This is a terrible, insurmountable time for you... Just know that as the shock and pain wears over time, more pleasant thoughts and memories will work their way back into your heart and mind... Grab these visions and smile, laugh, and occasionally cry... But remember those good times to help you through the bad... Keep your head high, we are all nearby, even if all you need is a smile and a chat... With a heavy heart...

Sandy,
Our hearts go out to you and your family.
We both have known you and Wade for a very long time. We have shared many good times whether it was during SRT training or running into one another in the BOC . . . .
At our weekly SRT meetings, Wade always had the knack of bringing everyone together – usually through a story or two . . . .
Wade truly inspired others to experience new opportunities that came their way. He was always so active and looking forward to the next adventure.
Just remember, you are not saying “goodbye” but instead you are saying “I’ll see you later” and you will see Wade on the other side . . .
We both will truly miss him!!!

Eric and Linda, Sandra, Jake, Matt & Rachel –
Our hearts go out to you and your family. Please know that we are thinking of you. I am still in a state of denial that my dear friend “Wader’s” of 20+ years is gone. It isn’t fair.
I will miss his boundless energy. I will miss his sense of humor followed by his colossal laughter. I will miss his genuine love of his family and friends. I will miss his trips over to my house where he would sit in my drive way and we would shoot the bull for an hour and share a drink over our endless stories of working together on the slope. I loved you my friend. You are truly an original as I am sure the lord now knows. Your passing has clearly left a void in the hearts of your family and endless friends …

Sandy, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember meeting Wade when I first started in Prudhoe, and he was always a welcome sight. With his humorous stories and upbeat attitude he certainly leaves great memories for all those who knew him. My favorite line from him was when asked “What’s going on?” his response was: “Just doing what I can to keep the pump price down.” He will be truly missed!

Sandy and the Johnson Family,
Wade was a good part of my life on the slope for the last 20 years. I don't think I have ever laughed so much as I have at some of his stories and adventures. Wade was an upbeat and joyful man, he touched my heart and will be greatly missed. Sail on Captain Wade, on God's glorious ocean. Sandy know that Wade is now fishing with the Fisher of Men. God Bless

My condolences to you and your family Sandy. Wade was a "real" piece of work and I mean that in the best way, nothing slowed him down. It will be tough for you making only one dinner tray, but I look forward to seeing you in line again. The Arctic Archers will never be the same without Wade. Come on back when you heal-up.
Keep an eye on us from up there Wade!

Sandy,
I had only met Wade on the evening of September 3, 2008 after you and I sat next to one another on the way home from Prudhoe. You and I talked about your love and devotion to Wade. You also spoke of your many years together. Sandy, it was clear to me when we got off the plane that the two of you shared something truly special. I am sure that is a hard adjustment for you right now. If there is anything I can do to help you let me know. I am just a phone call away.
Best wishes,

How are you doing? I'm at a lost for words and I know what you are going through. I lost my wife a while back and it is hard to bounce back. YOU WILL because you are a STRONG person and have lots of freinds and family to support you. You just let me know what ever you need I am here for YOU. Hope to see your smiling face soon on the slope. Take care. If you need to talk my number is 907-360-3633 anytime.

Sandy, it was with sadness and shock that I recieved the news that Wade has passed away. I am sorry. Wade and I have worked together for many years. He was on the crew when I first started working on the project support crew at Santa Fe pad. One of I fondest memories of Wade was when they sent Wade to Barrow to help free the whale from the ice. The stories he came back with... He has been a valued co-worker and friend, a real pleasure to work with.May the Lord comfort you with the assurance that Wade is off to his next big adventure.

Sandy, I just wanted to tell you how much I'll miss Wade. My heart goes out to you and everyone that knew and loved Wade. I will never forget him and the great work he accommplished in Prudhoe Bay. He was always someone I called upon when we had a tough job to do with a crane. I don't know how many times Wade picked up an LDF and put it back on the VSM's for us. He could make the American crane in Prudhoe work like no other.
He was truly a great man! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of great loss.

Wade will be missed by all who new him. My husband and I had the pleasure of being his ETT and EMT Instructors. As with everything he did, he excelled and overcame any obstacle in his path. He was the best kind of first responder, one who really cared about other people. May God bless and keep you forever in his love.

Wade is my cousin and a huge piece of my wonderful days in Alaska. I left Eagle River 20 some years ago, but my heart never has. I was blessed at a very young age with a great family in my Aunt Linda, Uncle Eric and my Cousins. Because of those people I had the opprotunity to experience many things that others dont. The love of nature, the freedoms of flying to a remote destination and just how we are a small part of this great world..and of course the love of family. I will forever remember Wade like the last time I saw him..a smile, a laugh, and a kind word. I will do my best to carry on his great attitude towards others.

Sandy and the Johnson Family,
My husband, Jeff's, and my heart broke to hear about Wade. We didn't know him, however, I knew you from ASCI and my husband got to know you at Stores. I remember Jeff introducing me to you at BOC when I first started working in Prudhoe and saying that you and Wade - like we - were the LUCKY ones! To have the blessing of working on the Slope together and not having to be apart. HOLD ON TO THAT and the memories of the times off together, as well as the times you were able to get together up here. What a wonderful experience! I CANNOT IMAGINE what you are going through. God is with you and your family. Try to remember how absolutely blessed the two of your were and will be again one day.

The minute that Wade was born, he was destined to be that "special" person. How could he not be with the parents hehad. He was a happy go lucky guy like his dad, with just the same amount of devil threw in there, and so handsome which came from his beautiful mother I am sure. We were truly blessed to have him for 48 years, such a short time.... He will always remain such a wonderful memory... one you just can't forget.. Love to all of you

I have known Wade for over 15 years. I can see him today as I see him everyday. Always in a good mood and happy to make someone elses day a little better. He is always quick and would catch me off guard everytime we would have the opportunity to pass in the hall or work together. He is a great man and will remain in our hearts forever!!! He is missed! Our hearts go out to you and the Johnson family....

The memories of your smiles when telling stories of camping with Wade on the boat in Kachemak Bay and
your glow after your wedding told me Wade was good for you.

I arrived back at Prudhoe and in transiting through the BOC SRT training room I glanced at the members of the year board to see Wade listed multiple times. He will be remembered.

We, I, Will all miss him greatly. GOD bless you, and the Johnson family. Our prayers with all who knew him. A Friend jrg

I first met Wade in ETT training when we dressed him up like a woman and he pretended to give birth so we could practice our 'skill sets'. We all laughed so hard we could barely complete the drill. I knew then that this was someone to have fun with. Wade was a valuable and precious part of our Prudhoe Bay family and we'll miss him dearly.

So many things to remember about the "CUZ" and never enough time to talk about it. Even though miles seperated us God always left that part of my heart to conect with his heart. That smile, that laugh, that warm embrace when we did get to be together. Things that will always be in my heart. We were brought into this world to be together to sit under the Christmas tree at Grandma and Grandpa Gearys, to have our time on the dining room table, to have our birthdays together, memories that will never be forgotten. Miles once again seperate us but I know that again we will share those times. He will not have to feel the pains of this earthly life and I know that he is preparing that heavenly spot for our reunion. Aunt Linda and Uncle Eric my heart is with you always. I love you and each time that I hear Uncle Eric laugh and get that hug I will feel the presence of Wade. He may not be with us in the earthly sense but I know that he is right beside me each and everytime I see the sunset, sunrise, or the eagles flying high. Seek comfort in the Lord! He has our Angel Wade and he is being cared for like we could never do. The grave is not the end it is the beginning!
May God hold you in the palm of his hand and give you peace and comfort.
I love you,

"Who Loves You Baby?" (sing song voice softly) "I doooooo....." I can hear Wade saying that everytime he left a message on our machine along with "Hey Unc" when refering to George. Wade was a man of steel and velvet with the gift of laughter, humor and gentleness. The twinkle in his eye and the bear hugs were always the best. Our heart hurts for you Linda and Eric.. words can't even express. It has been an honor to be a part of Wades life. Sandy, Rachel, Jake and Matt we send you our deepest condolences.

To his children and parents, I am so sorry for your great loss.I have never met you Sandy, but you must be something else to have made it to Mrs. Wade Johnson.

Though I have not seen Wade since highschool, I remember his kindness and laughter. To all his family...may God ease the pain and help you through your great loss.
"Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplighting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there, I did not die".

Sandy, My heart is with you and your loving family.
I went thru grade school and Jr/Sr High with Wade and he was always a prankster. But, he would always help you out when ever you needed it. Wade always had a kind heart. I can see him now leaning against the lockers with that devilish smile of his,in the hall, and giving out the BIGGEST chuckel. Wade was always smiling.
Wade you will be truly Missed and Loved and I want to Thank You and Sandra from the bottom of my heart for allowing me (Becky),Scott, and Molly to come into your home. We are all so glad you made it to the class reunion. I LOVE YOU! Sweet dreams.

What can anyone say? Wade will always be a part of my fondest memories of grade school and high school. He was always kind and sweet, and he was always there to help a friend. Though I never got to know his family I am certain they were blessed to have Wade, and my prayers are with them all.

Sandy, mere words can't tell you how sorry i am to have heard about Wade's passing. I will forever remember him as the goof ball on the homer and jackaloff docks. It breaks my heart to know he was taken before any of us were ready to let him go. In time, may your heart heal and the holes be filled again with love and joy.
