Wade was born February 20, 1955, in Rayville to Thomas Wade, and Frances Goforth Darnell. He was a Tulane graduate and there began his love of the Crescent City.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his little sister, Michele Darnell. 

Survivors include his wife Liza Kidd; his siblings and spouses, Sherry Hutto, Kenny Darnell (Sherry) and Keith Darnell (Darlene); also, numerous beloved nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews; and his cat, Ink Spot.

He had a big heart, big faith, tolerance and love for his fellow people and each of his pets. He loved the 12 steps. He never met a stranger. Wade darling, we will always carry your memory in our hearts.
