A quote Wade loved to leave his children and loved ones:
“I love you more than all the trees in the mountains,
I love you more than all the water in every river and ocean,
I love you more than every grain of sand on the beach,
I love you more than the hairs on every animals back,
I love you more than all the stars in the sky and the whole entire universe.“

The family would like to send a sincere heartfelt thank you to family, friends and members of the Calgary Police Service that worked tirelessly to help find Wade. An extra thank you goes to organizations such as the Free Bird Project and various news outlets that also helped get the story out.

Wade will be dearly missed, but we know he is with his loved ones on the other side.
Wade is now free, flying with the eagles …
