Wade and his beloved wife, Mary raised a wonderful family with two sons, four grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and one great, great grandchild. As lifelong church members, they both were active with various roles and support programs prior to declining health. For over 65 years, Wade planted and harvested vegetables from his large garden. He always shared the large quantities from the garden with extended family, friends, and neighbors.
Wade is preceded in death by his parents and his wife, Mary K. Stout. He is survived by his children, Phil Stout (June) of Pittsboro, Doug Stout of Siler City; his grandchildren, Chris Stout, Nichole (Jake) Barlow, Patrick (Leah Catherine) Stout, and Andrew Stout; his great grandchildren, Renay, Jason, Isaac, William, Virginia, and Catherine; and his great great grandchild, Matthew.
