Jeffery "Jeff" R. Wade, aged 39, passed away at his home on February 13, 2025. Born on September 5, 1985, in Elkhart, Indiana, Jeff was the cherished son of Glenn and Melody (Willis) Wade. His warm presence and keen intellect will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Jeff grew up in a loving family alongside his devoted parents and was blessed with the affection of his grandparents, as well as his many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He shared a special bond with his grandmother Bonnie Willis and his aunts and uncles, Bob (Sonja) Willis, Mike (Kaaren) Willis, Bill (Cheryl) Willis, Tony (Ann) Willis, Randy (Gloria) Willis, Jodie Wade, Debora Wade, Ron Wade and Jerry & Shirley Wade, Ed Johnston. Jeff's life was enriched by the laughter and love of numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Ervin Willis, James and Shirley Manley, and his aunts and uncles Gary Wade, Phil Wade, Bill and Julie Knight, Linda Johnston, and Jackie Moody, Reagen Wheeler.
Jeff was a proud graduate of Harrison High School's Class of 2004, where he was known for his intelligence and analytical mind. His passion for learning and his pursuit of excellence continued throughout his life. Jeff's career was a reflection of his diverse interests and talents. He began his professional journey at Soring Eagle Casino, Mt. Pleasant, where he honed his skills and made lasting connections. Later, he brought his expertise to Morley marketing, Saginaw, where his colleagues valued his dedication and innovative spirit.
Outside of work, Jeff was an avid video gamer, a hobby that showcased his strategic thinking and quick reflexes. He also had a keen interest in conservative political ideals, often engaging in thoughtful discussions and debates. Jeff's analytical mind found a new passion in the cryptocurrency market, where he navigated the complexities with enthusiasm and insight.
Funeral services will be held Friday February 21, 2025 at 11 am from Lee-Ramsay Funeral Home-Gladwin with Jeff's uncle Pastor Michael Willis presiding with burial in Sherman Township Cemetery. Family will receive friends and family at the funeral home on Thursday from 3 to 8 pm and Friday from 10 am until time of services.

I'll always remember Jeff because of the love he had for his dad he stuck by him and put his dad's needs above his own I could never figure out how he could remember what to do on some of the video games he played I've sat and watched him play for hours he was so damn good at them I think I annoyed him because I'd ask him questions while he played but at the same time I could tell that he liked to answer my questions no matter how dumb they were he knew his stuff when it came to gaming that's for sure you will truly be missed but I know you're up there with the rest of your family that passed away so young in life miss you bro give em hell in the big ol video game heaven
