In loving memory of Wade - Help us bring him home

Wade Paul Dupey

06.01.1964 - 10.08.22

I am creating this page on my family's behalf in hopes of gaining some financial support for our unexpected loss. Last Saturday, we learned the unfortunate news that our loved one, Wade, had passed away. While this is never easy news to digest, it has been made even more difficult that he was out of the country at the time of his passing.

Wade has always jumped at the opportunity to help others. He continued to show his kindness by offering much support to his wife's family. He has helped support them financially for years, but this time he extended his hand to have them come live with them to escape their country during this troubling time. They had taken in her 18-year-old nephew just weeks prior.

Wade had gone to Poland to meet his wife's mother and sister to bring them back to Minnesota. While they could have traveled on their own, Wade wanted to make sure they felt as comfortable as possible, so he thought it was best he escorted them on their journey here. We admire Wade's kind heart in doing so.

With great sadness, we share the news that he passed away before he could connect with our Ukrainian family. The information has been devastating to our family and still feels very unreal at times.

Thankfully, Olga's family was still able to make it to Minnesota with the help of her son and a friend of the family. While we regret that Wade didn't make it back with them, we are happy they can offer emotional support to Olga as she navigates this huge life change.

We kindly ask for donations to help cover the cost of bringing my father's ashes and personal belongings back to Minnesota from Poland. We would also like to put some money towards a celebration of life so we can say our goodbye's as a family.

Lastly, we would like donations for the family's living expenses. Wade had been the primary provider for the family, and we would like to make sure Olga, her mother, sister, nephew and 9-year-old son are taken care of.

Thank you for reading this and considering donating to my family's cause. We greatly appreciate any help that you can offer.

Wade leaves behind his beloved wife (Olga), five children (Andrey, Daniil, Micah, Molli, and Wade Michael), and many brothers and sisters.
