Michael Anthony Wade

Michael Anthony Wade, was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at the age of 56. Born on November 10, 1969, Mike dedicated his life to his family.

A man of boundless interests and an infectious sense of humor, Mike found joy in the simple things in life. He was an avid fisherman and hunter, forever on the pursuit of adventure and tranquility in nature. Mike was also a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, ever faithful and passionate about his team. His craftsmanship in woodworking was admired by many, and his garden thrived under his attentive care. His love of cooking, grilling and the culinary arts kept everyone's belly full and smiles on their faces. A drive through the country with the windows down and radio blasting was a favorite pastime, a testament to his love for freedom and the open road. 

Mike cherished his family deeply, survived by his devoted wife Susan Wade, and cherished children: Jacob Wade (Samantha), Jennifer Lodata (Nathan), Cynthia Champion, Stephen Martin (Melissa), Krystal Uribe (Yurian), Jonathan Compton, and Rachel Jones (Jason). His legacy continues through his adored grandchildren: Dhamon, Nicholas, Britt~David, Isaiah, Christopher, Harley, Adrianna, Liam, Richard, Ryder, Ethan, and one on the way, Lily Mae.

Mike is also survived by his siblings, James, Annette, and April, numerous other siblings, and his stepmother affectionately known as Mama Glenda. His memory will be cherished by all who were fortunate to know him.

Predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Sharon Wade; son, Michael Anthony Wade Jr., and his beloved little Yorkie, Tink, Mike now rests in peace, reunited with them.
