Randy George Wade, 65, died on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

Funeral services will be held on Sunday, August 10, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. at Grace Chapel, ten miles south of Bagley, Minnesota with a visitation one hour prior. The Cease Family Funeral Home of Bagley assisted the family with arrangements.

Randy was born on February 12, 1960 in Fargo, North Dakota to Wyman and Ann Marie (Sandberg) Wade. He graduated from West Fargo High School. He was an amazing and undefeated wrestler, obtaining a full ride to Wahpeton College. However, college life wasn't for him and he chose to join the pipeline crew instead, working in the oil fields for several years. He later became a carpet layer after the family moved to Bagley, MN.

Randy was the best uncle, always up for having fun with his nieces, whether it was going sledding or to the lake. He attended as many of their sports games as he possibly could. He was an avid softball player, and a huge Steelers and Lakers fan. He loved watching racing, especially NASCAR or his dad when he was younger. Randy had a deep love for his dogs, and had several black labs over the years that were dear to him. He always seemed to have a dog by his side. You could often find Randy on the lake, where he would spend hours fishing with his mom. He also loved hunting and going to the movies. Randy loved the Lord and sharing the Good Word with those he cared about. Despite having many health issues throughout his life, he was a fighter and lived to the fullest. He had a big heart and looked after those he loved. Randy was loved by many and was often called "Randolph the Great" by those close to him.

Randy is survived by his mother, Ann Marie Wade; his siblings, Valorie Ladwig, Vikki (DeVere) Schultz, Claude (Michelle) Wade, and Scott Wade; his nieces and nephews, Jodi (Jason) Snell, Heather (Mike) Gunter, Kristi Okeson, Kelly (Brandon) Nelson, Kati (Brandon) Martin, Kelsi (Zach) Walton, Chelsie Wade and Cody Wade; and many other loved cousins, family, and friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Wyman Wade; and many beloved black labs including, Kujo, Duke, Abbey, and Tigger.
