Wade Douglas Webster

Wade Webster was a man whose life was defined by faith, compassion, and words. An author and vlogger, Wade had a gift for communicating truth with sincerity and heart. Whether through the written word or spoken reflection, he used his voice to encourage others, point people toward God, and remind them they were never alone.

Wade loved the Lord deeply and lived his life in service to that love. He was devoted to his church, passionate about helping others, and especially tenderhearted toward children. His faith was not something he kept to himself-it was something he practiced daily through prayer, kindness, and unwavering encouragement for those who were struggling.

Wade graduated from White Cloud High School in 1979. He graduated with an associate's degree in accounting from Muskegon Business College and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Grace Bible College in Wyoming, Michigan. Wade went on to drive truck in Michigan and eventually from Texas. While driving truck he wrote books and songs. He wrote novels such as 100 Prayers of a Writer, Prayers of a Writer: Spiritual Armor, Prayers of a Writer 7: Times and Seasons, Eek's Gifts, and The Extra Ordinary Christmas. He enjoyed the solitude and adventure in truck driving. It's where he felt closest to God.

Family meant everything to Wade. He was one of seven siblings and shared close bonds with his brothers and sisters: Greg Webster; Debbie Hart and her husband Mike Hart; Patty Force and her husband Terry Force; Mike Webster and his wife Sheryl Webster; Lora and her husband Gary Pedersen; and Richard Webster. Wade was deeply loved by his family and leaves behind many nieces and nephews who will carry his legacy of faith, wisdom, and love.

Wade was preceded in death by his parents, Marvin and Joan Webster, whom he loved dearly.

Those who knew Wade will remember his gentle spirit, his steady prayers, his honest guidance, and his ability to make others feel seen and valued. His life was a testimony to God's faithfulness, and his influence will continue to live on through the people he encouraged, the words he shared, and the faith he so faithfully modeled.

While his absence leaves a deep ache, his family and friends find peace in knowing that Wade is now home-resting in the presence of the Lord he loved and served so well.

A celebration of life will take place in Wade's honor on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at 2:00 pm at First Baptist Church of Newaygo with Pastor Tim Shaw presiding. There will be an hour visitation held prior to the service at the same location. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Community Initiative for Self-Reliance, a cause close to Wade's heart.
