He is also survived by his sisters, Edna Ringener, Brenda Duke (Dean), Lana Ledbetter, and Bonnie Bryand; his sisters-in-law, Alice Armstrong, Leticia McKenzie and Jo Roberts; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and special friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Calvin and Ruth McKenzie, and his brothers, Herb Armstrong and Dayle McKenzie.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Fix West Texas or any local dog rescue in his memory.

Our hearts are very saddened to hear of Wade´s passing. With all the evil in the world, Wade was one who counteracted it. Therefore his passing is extra sad. Prayers go forward for you, Diann, girls and all the family. We were neighbors on Kansas Ave for several years. Know that our sweet Lord has you all in the palm of His hand. Be blessed.
