In his early years at Middletown High School, Wade was known for his dynamic presence as a Varsity diver, football player and lacrosse player. His competitive spirit and outgoing nature earned him many friends from various walks of life. Wade’s most defining trait was his compassion. He was a staunch champion for the underdog, a protector of the downtrodden, and a loyal friend to all. With a heart as big as his temper, Wade was fiercely protective of those he loved. His kindness, devotion, passion and free-spirited nature were evident in all aspects of his life. Family was HIS everything. The role of being the big brother was a badge of honor for Wade. His extended family of brothers, sisters, cousins and friends where at the center of Wade’s world. Each and everyone of them know how deeply they were loved by him. Wade was also a valued member of the H.O.O.D. Ryderz Motorcycle Club in Port Jervis, NY.
