Kevin Michael Wade

Calvin “Sarge” Underwood Wade, a.k.a Kevin Michael Wade, passed away unexpectedly at his home on February 24, 2022 in Orlando, Florida at the age of 58. Calvin is survived by his parent, Flossie “Dee” Martin of Erlanger, KY; and seven siblings - brothers, Dale Wade, Marshall Martin, and Scott Martin, all residents of Northern, KY; and sisters, Rhonda Lewis of Roanoke, VA, Sandy Sheriff, Debbie Collins, and Julia McGivern, all residents of Northern, KY; along with many nieces and nephews; and close friend, Donald Reilly. He is preceded in death by his brother, Terry Wade of Roanoke VA; sister, Patricia Eccles of Independence, KY; and father, Albert Wade of Bowling Green, KY. Calvin was born on April 21, 1963 in Dearborn County, IN to his parents, Flossie Martin and Albert Wade. He graduated from Pike's Peak College with a degree in business. Calvin joined the U.S. Army from September 6, 1990 to May 15, 2003 where he rose to the rank of Sergeant First Class. Sarge was a Gulf War Veteran and an Army Recruiter. Kevin spent most of his adult life in the service of the United States Military (Army). Once retired, Calvin simply lived his life to the fullest. Calvin was the “try anything” brother everyone wishes they had. Calvin was a free spirit who never took things seriously. Calvin was a loving son, brother, and a giving soul. His family and those he touched will sorely miss Calvin. I recall the stories from his youth, his siblings would tell of Grandma Soard yelling at our Mom for things he would get into. So, one last time for my brother…. “TOT… Sarge is on the fence again!” We will always love and miss you brother. Do not get stuck in any mailboxes. Calvin’s funeral service has not been scheduled yet. He will be laid to rest in Williamstown, KY with full military honors later. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations in his name to the Disabled American Veterans Association.
