Donald WADE Obituary

WADE, Donald Arthur Jr. Our loving son passed away May 14, 2018 at home. He was loved by everyone that met him. He was God's Child. He was born in Middleboro, Mass., at St. Luke's Hospital. He went to school in Bridgewater in special needs classes. Donald was the first child in 1989 to walk with other high school graduation students to receive a diploma at Middleboro High School. He made it possible for all future children with special needs to graduate. They gave Donald a standing ovation at graduation. Donald loved to listen to music (Kenny Rogers) and watch movies. He received four Gold Medals and a Silver from Special Olympics. His natural father, Donald Wade, Sr. passed away. So now he's in his father's hands, may God bless them both. He is survived by his mother, Bernadette and James Parmenter; three brothers, John Wade, Bernard Wade, Daniel Wade and David Yesenko who is sorely missed, passed away in 2012, much too early. Donald will be missed so very much. Service will be held at 12:00 p.m., Saturday, June 16, 2018 at Our Lady of Fatima Parish, 1950 W. Irvington Plaza.
