Our brother, Del Wade Rider, along with his many friends, unexpectedly passed away yesterday morning in Miami, Florida. Our family is heartbroken and trying to navigate this difficult time. Wade was the most positive person most people ever knew, and he touched the lives of so many with his kindness and uplifting spirit. The outpouring of love and support from everyone who knew him has meant the world to us.

We are now faced with the challenge of bringing Wade back home to Oklahoma so we can say our goodbyes and celebrate his life with all who loved him. The funds raised will help cover the costs of his cremation, transporting him home, and holding a Celebration of Life in his honor. If there is anything left after these expenses, it will be given to his only son, to help support him during this difficult time.

With all the love so many people have shown us concerning Wade, this was so unexpected, and we’re asking family and friends if they can help bring him home. Any support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, would mean so much to our family. Thank you for keeping Wade and our family in your thoughts.
