  8. You were more than just a part of my past—you were someone who helped shape my life and the lives of our children. No matter where life took us, that will always mean something.

    It hurts knowing you’re gone, and there are so many things left unsaid. I truly hoped that one day things would be different, that life would give you more time to find your way. Even with everything, I will always remember the moments that mattered and the life we once shared.

    Our children will carry a piece of you with them always. You are their father, and that will never change. I will make sure they know who you were and how much they were loved.

    Rest in peace. You will not be forgotten.

  13. My heart is heavy as I share the passing of my bonus brother. 💔
    You were more than family by title, you were truly loved, deeply appreciated, and will be greatly missed.
    Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the love you gave so freely. Your presence made a difference in our lives, and your absence will be felt forever.
    Praying for strength, comfort, and peace for everyone who loved you. Rest well… until we meet again.

  14. Wade was loved by everyone who had the opportunity to know him. He lit up the room. Always had that ornery laugh and eye roll. He never went out the door without giving a hug and saying how much he loved us. Each of us at HH are left with a huge hole in our hearts. Barbara and family I’m so sorry for your loss. He’s no longer in pain. Jesus took him home and someday we’ll see him again.
