He was preceded in death by his son, Race Schulze.
In addition to his parents he is survived by his daughter, Justine Sullivan. Yesterday's obituary neglected to mention his beloved brothers, Jeffrey and Todd Schulze the family is deeply sorry.

As this world is crazy right now (which I'm sure we would of been on the phone for hours) I cleaned my closet out. I found all our pics to which my sister asked me if I was sad but I was happy to treasure them. My memories come rushing back...going to the opening of The Patriot, swimming in Lake, your beautiful backyard, cooking deer steaks in your garage. I miss you everyday & regret with all my heart I didn't answer the#864-5135 that last time...forever in my heart...miss my Rob Lowe look alike♡♡♡♡

My Dearest Wade,
I am so deeply hurt by the loss of you. I just found out last night. You were my "guru", my best friend, my confidante, my hero. I loved you without measure. You and your "Kingdom" have changed me forever. Your kingdom is you and your spirit. Mackheart you will be so missed by many. So tragic. I feel so lost. I always thought you would be there. And, now you are in my heart as you always have been since I met you. You taught me so many things about life. You were needed somewhere other than here. You were too beautiful to live here any longer. Now you are with your son. May your family and other friends be consoled from above. Love forever, Kim

My Dearest Wade, I loved you so much! You were my guru, my mentor, my hero, my best friend! You were too beautiful to live here in this life and now you are with Race. I loved your metaphorical storytelling, your blue eyes, your strong hands and your kingdom as you called your backyard. It was so beautiful there! I miss you so much. The last words you spoke to me were "I Love You." Three days before you were called to be with Race once again. I just found out last night. It was normal for us to not talk for a week or two. But when it got into almost three I knew something was not right. You are where you are needed so much more than here! You are forever in my thoughts and heart my Mackheart! May your family and friends be consoled during this time. You were a one of a kind.
Love Always Kim

Wade, my childhood sweetheart. One of the kindest people I have ever known. My heart aches at this tragedy. I will forever miss our hours on the telephone solving all the Worlds problems. The World is a smaller place without you in it. I will always hold a place in my heart for you. Love and prayers to your family.

Clayton and Patti, I am so so sorry for your loss. It has been years since I have seen Wade but he was always good to me when I lived in McKean. He always looked out for me, on the many bad winter days he would plow my driveway twice a day if it was needed. I always knew that if I needed help I could always count on him to come to my rescue. He will be missed by many. RIP my friend

Such a heartbreak and loss of a one of a kind man I had the pleasure of knowing for a very long time..always an adventure on the various projects he conquered at the house there was always a reason why he did everything he did..he was a thinker way more than the average..wade always explained what it was too..his conversations were never boring always enlighten..some off the wall but hey that was wade..he said how he felt and what he believed in...I myself will miss him terribly..my heart goes out to Jess..your such a strong young lady..your dad was so proud and loved you and race with everything he had..r.i.p. wade your forever in my heart..

Wade was my husbands "you get one in a lifetime" friend. They would have done anything for each other. They didn't see each other often because they were both busy with their lives but they were as close in spirit as any two friends could be. Recently my husband had back surgery and Wade was in constant contact with us from January 19 up until this past week. Wade was one of a kind. He was the genuine article. There is so much about Wade that we will miss. His smile, his humor, his conspiracy theories....how are we going to know what videos are a "must watch" without Wade! He became friends with Mark in kindergarten after noticing how well Mark could draw a dinosaur. Over the course of a lifetime of friendship he never let Mark forget that. "The best drawer of dinosaurs". We will miss you Wade Schulze. You are united with your son, Race, now for eternity. We love you, our friend.

Wade was such a great guy. He worked with my fiancée a few years ago at McShane Welding. When we moved to Waterford, he came out and helped us light our pilot light. It was very much appreciated and we were saddened to hear about his passing. He won't be forgotten.
