Mark was the son of Joseph and Barbara (Brown) Wade and brother to Brian Wade and Scott Wade and his wife, Katie, and uncle to Nicholas and Brooks. He was also a much-loved member of Carrie's family: her parents, Tim and Danna McDonald; her sister, Michele Sweet and husband, Ron, and their children, Brady, Brynn and Brock; and her brother, Scott McDonald and wife, Alice, and their sons, Kyle and Shane. He was a beloved nephew and cousin and, of course, the best dog dad to Boo and Scout.
Anyone who knew Mark would probably say the same thing: he was simply one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
Mark was steady, funny, loyal and someone you could always count on. He was the guy who showed up, quietly putting the people he loved before himself.
He loved being outside fishing, golfing, working in the yard or sitting at the picnic table messing with his fishing lures. More than anything, Mark loved his people, and they loved him right back.
He was a devoted husband and father, a loving son and brother, a loyal friend and just a genuinely good man. The lives of those who knew and loved Mark are better because he was part of them.
