On Tuesday, February 3, 2026, my beloved husband Samuel Wade passed away. Samuel was a loving husband, a devoted father, and a friend to so many. His kindness, laughter, and generosity touched everyone who knew him, and his absence leaves a space in our hearts that can never be filled. Our family is heartbroken as we try to come to terms with this loss and find a way forward without him.

During this incredibly difficult time, we are reaching out for support from our community. The funds donated will help us manage the many expenses that come with saying goodbye to Samuel and will provide some stability as we grieve and adjust to life without his presence. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for our family.

I would like to thank everyone for their outpouring of support. The calls, texts, and visits have truly shown the impact Sam made in people’s lives. Your kindness and generosity mean so much to us, and we are deeply grateful for any help you can offer as we honor Samuel’s memory and support each other through this time.
