Mr. Larry H Wade

On July 26th, Larry H. Wade went to be with the only one he loved more than his family, Jesus. He indeed as 2nd Timothy says, fought the good fight, finished the race, remained faithful, and received his heavenly prize. He is now completely and fully whole and waiting for us all in Heaven. He is preceded in death by his parents, L.H. Wade and Ella B. Wade. He is survived by his wife of over 50 years, Kathie Wade; sister, Dean Ford; devoted children, Christy Wade, Stacy Wade and Jon Wade; treasured granddaughter, Ella Wade. Larry’s life was made full with a host of other family members and friends. He was a faithful member of The Tabernacle Church. Larry lived his life devoted to God and his family. He married the love of his life Kathie in March of 1967 and together they created a wonderful life. Larry was called and ordained as a minister of The Gospel. He served as pastor of several area churches for many years. Later in life, Larry started his career at Anniston Army Depot in civilian services until his retirement. If ever there was a person who was a representative of Jesus and love it was Larry. He loved the Lord with all his soul, mind, and strength. Larry could be found many mornings at the breakfast table reading The Word that he cherished. He was always full of faith and never wavered in his belief in a God who si always working for his children for their good. Larry has now moved to his permanent home and is celebrating with Christ our Savior in Heaven. And we are certain that God has said, “Well Done.” Funeral will be held at 1 PM, Monday, July 29, 2019, at The Tabernacle Church, for Larry H. Wade, 73, Southside. Reverends Tommy Marshall, Larry Perkins and J.L. Knight will officiate. Burial will follow at Crestwood Cemetery. Village Chapel Funeral Home and Crematory is in charge of arrangements.

Larry served many hours working for several years behind the scenes in their Kid’s Blast. We know it would bless his heart to see God’s Kingdom being further built.
