🌟 Remembering Dave Wade 🌟
Yesterday, we gathered to celebrate the life of a remarkable man who tragically died far too soon.
Dave had so much to look forward to in his life —his loving marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Nat, who spoke so beautifully in tribute to her husband, and his pride in being a dedicated father to two wonderful daughters.
He was an also a son and brother, cherished by his family, and found his true calling at The Harbour psychiatric hospital, where he touched countless lives with his kindness and compassion.
Tragically, all of this changed in an instant after a devastating accident cut his life short at just 36.
The emotions were overwhelming at his funeral in Carleton yesterday with C. T. Hull Funeral Service, as we reflected on the joy he brought to so many lives.
The music chosen was perfect - in closing ‘Fallen Angel’ and ‘Lifetime’ by Three Days Grace and ‘Sound of Sipence’ by Disturbed.
This photo, taken earlier this year, captures a proud moment when Dave finally passed his driving test.
In a selfless act, he signed his organ donor card, allowing six of his vital organs to help others live on.
Dave’s legacy of love, laughter, and generosity will forever remain in our hearts. 💙✨
