Tributes
Leave a tributeRest in peace Wade. We got ya covered. Justice will be served. I have to believe it. Love MOM and Grammer Joanne, who at 91 will be thrilled to meet you again soon.
You showed me to do the things that men do. I'll forever lean to the side when i roll just like you. You loved ava, your tattoos, your cologne, your car, 49ers, your work, your little things you kept around, you loved lights, but you loved your family more. On July 3rd you told me that our new life in Colorado was gonna be the best for all of us and we will strive there. We were only a few days away. On July 3rd I gave you a huge hug and told you how much I loved you and how good of a father you are, you said how much you loved me too and how proud you were of me and nico. It brought us both to tears. although all I'm left with is memories, you will never be forgotten for the amazing man and father you are. I miss you dad. And I love you forever. - your son Mateo.
And forever watch over those who you touched deeply and loved dearly.
I know one thing wade loved the most was his boys. And definitely his music...I don't recall a time running into him and he didn't have his music jamming. One of his favorites was "back from the dead" by Skylar grey. I hope all of his friends here in roswell will stand for the man wade was. ..He was ready to obviously start a new journey in life with his 2 sons in Denver co...now we can only pray for the answers that his loved one so deserve.. God has a plan for everyone and sometimes we don't understand it..gob bless his family ..His 2 sons and all.of those who share a moment in their life with this man..wade loved his sons very very very much....I remember one time some friends and myself went out to the lake, And wade had a eye on his boys like a hawk on prey.!!!
May your soul rest in peace wade and justice be served.!!

Wade may you finally rest in peace your work here on earth is done you may lay and rest and be with your wife, you will be so missed!!!!!
As I have grown older, and the significance of our age gap narrowed, I imagined us someday introducing our families to each other, attending reunions and graduations, and sharing our life experiences with one another as friends. We'll never get that chance now, which is a great loss.
I still hope to have equivalent experiences with his children. I offer them my condolences and an open ear/ door whenever they want to spend time with or learn more about their family on their father's side.
I'll miss you. You're the best father I could ask for. Love you forever dad.
I am not sure there are enough words in the English dictionary top describe you & me. Or the journeys & adventures you, me, teo, Nico, & Jazzy had together.. from the first time we met 4 years ago, to all the craziness that came from that, to our second time around & living together, you were definitely the cleanest man I knew.. the memory that sticks the most is me taking care of you every minute of the day last Sept.seeing you tear down every wall & being vulnerable with me & you coming out of surgery in Lubbock smiling ear to ear telling me that you were so glad I was there & you were scared I wasn't gonna be there when you woke up.. it's not fair, it's not right. You weren't suppose to leave the boys like this. I'm sorry I didn't help you get away from her my dear, I heard your cries, I did, but I didn't know how to help I guess.. you were my best friend, my lover, my heart for a long time wade. We both showed each other things that were unexplainable and beyond measure, & I'll miss you. I will continue to be in contact with the boys as long as they will have me.. I'd give anything to hear your voice one more time to hug you one more time..
So much for the big finale we always talked about..
Hasta que yo soy Negro y Azul.
The first time we met, I took you flying. Now in the same spirit, I’d ask that you open your wings and fly like an eagle, soar above the clouds and continue your journey.
Some will say that you are gone but the twinkle in your eyes will forever remain in my heart.

Wade played basketball with us, took us to high school parties and was a genuine friend. Although I am certain I didn't spend as much time with him as most of his friends, for a few months during the most difficult part of high school the popular guy wanted by all the girls took us under his wing. Yea that's me the fat freshman cruising MV in a car with one of the coolest guys in the area. My heartfelt prayers to his family and especially his kids. Rest in Peace Wade.

His "grammer" on his mom's side
Even through all the years since I was still happy to call him a friend and wish him well. I watched him turn from a boy to a man, husband and father. I honestly can't believe he is gone and taken in such a tragic and senseless way. My prayers are with his three children, his family and all those who loved him.
There are constant reminders that life is short and fragile. I am grateful for the time and life lessons we shared and the friendships our relationship helped create that I still have today.
You will be missed friend <3
