This is also in 'comments' but thought it just seemed right to put his son's here in "Sharing Wade Stories".

Hello Everyone,

My name is Tabitha Keys and I am the wife of Josh Keys (Wades' Son). We have 2 little girls ages 5 and 7. For the short time that they were able to get to know there Grandfather they will carry great memories of him. Unfortunately, because their time with him was so short, given their ages, they won't carry the full memories that we all hope we get to have of our Grandparents.

As you all know, Wade was such a unique Man. The life that he lead was full of passion, excitement and surprise. My hopes for my children are that they live a life with these same qualities and are able to devote their time with the things that they love, enjoy and have passion for as Wade did.

I am hoping that all of you can help me show my children a little of there Heritage through stories and memories that you share of Wade. I am asking that you share special times with Wade whether it has to do with personal times you have shared or exciting time in the woods hunting or stories that he spoke of from his youth. Whatever it may be that comes to mind, I feel like this can better explain to his Grandchildren what an awesome Man he was and all that he did to make this world a better place. I would like to compile all of these wonderful stories into a book that I can present to Josh and the girls that will be kept in the family for generations to come. In doing this, I feel that a part of Wade will always live on!

If you would like to help me with this please send me an email of your story or drop a letter in the mail. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for taking time to do this for Wades Family I know that they will love and cherish it forever!

Sincerely,

Tabitha Keys

That was Wade... living every minute to the fullest.
