Wade Towry

Wade Towry, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, mentor, and friend, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2026, at the age of 80. Born on February 16, 1945, in Fayetteville, Tennessee, Wade was the cherished son of Ollie Victoria (nee Williams) and Tillman Towry. From the very beginning, his life was defined by quiet strength, unwavering kindness, and a deep love for those around him.

Wade was the kind of man whose patience never wavered and whose love never faltered. As a husband, he was devoted and steadfast, sharing 43 beautiful years of marriage with the love of his life, Connie Towry. Together, they built a home rooted in faith, loyalty, and unconditional love. As a father, Wade led by example, offering guidance, wisdom, and gentle support. He was a constant source of reassurance, always present, always listening, and always putting his family first.

He was a mentor to many, a trusted friend to all, and a true angel on this earth. Wade’s calm spirit, warm heart, and selfless nature left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His love was steady and sincere, and his life was a testament to compassion, humility, and grace.

Wade was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved granddaughter, Alyssa Ludovice; thirteen cherished siblings; and his son-in-law, Chris Ludovice.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Connie Towry; his loving children, Cherri Ludovice, Richard Wade Towry, Karla (John) Guccione, Abraham Bentancourth, and Danielle (Ociel) Haro; and his treasured grandchildren, Rachel (Winifred) Cooper, Imari Guccione, Giancarlo Guccione, London Haro, and Sebastian Haro. His legacy lives on through them, carried forward in the values he instilled and the love he gave so freely.

Wade’s life was marked by deep devotion to his family and community, and his absence will be profoundly felt. Though his time on this earth has come to an end, the light he shared, the love he gave, and the example he set will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved him. May he rest in eternal peace.
