Ryder Wade was tragically sent home to Heaven on the morning of Friday, January 15, 2021 doing what he loved best - riding his motorcycle and just leaving water polo practice for Concordia University Irvine.  

Rider was 18 years old and is survived by his parents, Gary and Martha Wade, and his sister, Bailey.  Ryder also is survived by his beloved dogs, Bonzai and Catalina, whom he loved dearly.  

If you knew Ryder, you were considered family!  Ryder lived life by his own rules and was fearless and a great leader.  He loved God and surfing came a close second to that.  Ryder loved his motorcycle, water polo, fishing, and crazy adventures with his friends!

Ryder's passing to Heaven was deeply unexpected and unplanned for.  Therefore, we are asking for donations to help support funeral expenses.  Any remaining funds will be donated to A Quarter Blue, which would have been Ryder's biggest wish since his life goal was to take over running the non-profit A Quarter Blue from his mom, Martha.

Funeral arrangements have not been made yet but will be posted as soon as available.  

In lieu of flowers, Ryder's wish would be for all donations to be sent to A Quarter Blue.

Thank you for your prayers and best wishes to Ryder's family during this difficult time.
