    My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I know that it is painful to lose a son, but you must always keep the pleasant memories of them close and this will help to ease your pain. Wade was a good hearted person due to the house he grew up in and the wonderful family he loved so much. I will miss him but will see him again someday I am sure.

    My Dear cousin Sharon and Family of Wade,
    I am so sad for this. God be with you all. I sure wish I got to meet Wade, I waited too long to come down. It rips my heart out for all of you.
    I missed out on a great addition to the family.
    My heart goes out to all of you with the deepest part of my heart and soul.
    Sharon I have no words to express what I feel in my heart towards you. I only know to say that you were blessed by being married to a fantastic guy that was good to you and he’ll be with you ALWAYS.
    I love you Sharon.
    I’m sorry I can’t be there with you.
    Love your cousin, sister, and friend Rhonda

    Being neighbors with Wade meant that many of my childhood memories have Wade in them. We rode bikes, picked weeds, threw rocks, went trail riding, swimming, laughed, and cried together. I’m sad to hear this news. Mr.&Ms. Carpenter, Kim, and Sharon, please know the Morgan family sends our love. Wade, damn; you were like a brother to me.

    I have known Wade Nicholas
    Carpenter since the day he was born. I remember what a joyful day it was for his parents. “That little guy was
    so cute” I am still stunned by the news of his passing.
    Words fall short of expressing
    my sorrow and no words will
    ever do justice to the impact his passing has left on his
    family and friends. He may
    be gone from our sight but his legacy is eternal. He will live
    on in our hearts and our memories of him will carry on forever.
    Sharon, may you find comfort and peace in time, knowing
    his spirit will be with you always.
    Linda & Elliott,
    You were wonderful parents and Wade was so blessed.
    I know your family will
    forever remain strong together and will share in the
    journey to finding peace
    after this difficult loss.
    May the precious memories
    of Wade and the love of family and friends surround you and give you strength.
    May you find comfort in knowing you are not alone,
    you are surrounded by those
    who care for you.
    God Bless you and the family.

    So sorry to hear of the passing of Wade. I went through school with Wade and always considered him a good friend. After School we were in the fire department together for a few years. I still remember riding around in his red ford ranger that he got for graduation. RIP Wade, you will be missed!
