Wade grew up in Depoe Bay on Oregon’s Pacific Coast.

As an avid sportsman and outdoor enthusiast, he traveled throughout the western United States, and adventured to Spain, Andorra and New Zealand.
Wade’s musings have been illustrated and compiled into a “Stepping Stones” memorial album, to which each family who visits Wade’s House will be encouraged to contribute a photo and remembrance of their own child, and a comment about their visit.
