L. Wade Hunton, 56, died Thursday, July 22, 2021. The only child of Lane Hubbard Hunton and Loren Samuel Hunton, Wade was a Marietta native, a graduate of Sprayberry High, and his professional life was multifaceted. Wade continued to work in the family business at Antiques & Collectables by Sampson & Delilah throughout his adult life. With a focus on accounting and merchandising, Wade was well known as an antiques expert and vendor. His passion for antiquities, music, and restoration merged into the realm of Phonograph restoration, repair, and sales, which led him to create his own business Phonologic.
Wade adored his dogs Brando, Parker, Pickle, and Bella. He was a true audiophile, and his collection of antiques and rare phonograph and victrola records rivals that of any museum in the world. He was a classic and modern cinema enthusiast. An Opera, Jazz, and Classical Music aficionado, a tennis pro, a gardener, and always the entertainer. He was a Godfather, Mother, Brother, Confidant, and so much more to so many people.
Wade was one of those, "Never met a stranger", people that greeted everyone with a big smile and had friends everywhere. He never forgot a face and always found something nice to say about them. He may have appeared to wear rose-colored glasses, but He found the beauty in everything and never let reality get in the way of a good story.
Wade, A.K.A. "Mother" to some, passed into the light surrounded by Love and his Chosen Family after losing his fight against aggressive necrotic cancer. Thank you to the amazing people that stepped in to help care for him during his short and difficult illness. It should be known that he fought bravely and went peacefully.
