    Rea Family,
    I will always remember the fun times that Wade and I had competing against each other in Youth Quarter Horse shows. It may have been a million years ago :), but it seems like yesterday to me. I remember Wade fondly. Wade was always a gentleman and a good hand with horses.
    I’m very sorry for your loss.

    Was so sorry to hear about Wades passing. Got to know him well when I was working at the Lakeside Store. He used to stop by every day and we would have lengthy conversations. He was a very kind person and I hope that he is at peace now. You all are in my thoughts , so very sorry for your loss. Elaine

    Doc, Hester, and family,
    My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Wade and I met “a million years ago” at a 4-H Citizenship Seminar and I was so impressed with his skill, talent, and general love of life.

    Dear Jack, Hester, and Family,
    So sorry to hear about the loss of your son, Wade. I am not sure Jim and I had a chance to meet Wade, but he surely was an amazing person. A friend of mine uses a saying during times of sorrow and loss, and I always believe that it is a comforting prayer, “May you have a gentle journey on your path of grief”. You are in our thoughts. Jim, Amanda, Gaelyn, and Logan Domino

    I met Wade around 1980 when my dads union had an office in the Steamboat Block. Wade really impressed my dad as smart, ambitious and very nice. Wade was quite young at the time and I was surprised at how mature he was for his age while at the same time, he had a great sense of humor. A year or two later I helped remodel the Park Place (?) apartments near the baseball field and got to work with Buck and Teri. All three of the Reas were fun to be with. Sad to read about Teri as I can still remember her talking about growing up in Three Forks, training horses and being a sorority girl. I will tell my dad about Wade next time I call him.

    Dear Jack, Hester, and Buck
    I am so sorry for your loss and heartbroken by the news of Wade’s passing. I’ve thought of him often and especially this past month which lead me to look him up on the internet and just now read his
    obituary. May God be with you during this time of mourning and may Wade rest in peace. Love, Shauna
