Edward James McDade

Edd is survived by Sue, his high school sweetheart and wife of nearly 62 years. Daughters, Alene McDade, Ann Ryder (Mark), Sons Michael (Lisa), Mark (Teresa), Jim (Cathy) 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by grandsons Kristofer and Anthony McDade.

Edd loved the life that he had made for himself and his family. He lived life by the “Golden Rule”. His generosity of spirit would shine through not only in how he lived his life but also in his love for his profession of Dentistry, which he had the privilege to practice for nearly 43 years in Kenmore, Washington. He was passionate in his pursuit to continue his education in dentistry, to share his new found knowledge with his patients by providing them exceptional dental care with a compassionate and gentle touch. Each visit to the office came a few “Dr. EDD” stories!!

Edd was so much more than a dentist. He was a wonderful and loving husband, father, grandpa, uncle, friend, mentor and teacher. He will be greatly missed by those whose lives he touched.

A “Celebration” of Edd’s life will be held at 10:00 am on May 17th, 2014 at Acacia Memorial Park – 14951 Bothell Way N.E. Seattle, Washington. There will be a gathering at the family home following the service. In lieu of flowers, please contribute to Evergreen Hospice or a charity of your choice.

Arrangements under the direction of Acacia Memorial Park & Funeral Home, Seattle, Washington.
