He proudly served his county in the US Navy during the time of the Vietnam War, where he served two tours of duty.

He is survived by his loving wife, Joan Annette Wade; his daughter, Stephanie Wade Redondo, and son-in-law, Robert Redondo; his grandsons, Ethan and Gabriel Redondo; his sister-in-law, Brenda Wade; his niece, Wendy Wade Garrett; and his great-nephew, Conor Teeling.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Wendell Wade; and his nephew, Daniel Wade.
A memorial service will be held at MJ Dolly Cooper Veteran's Cemetery, 140 Inway Drive, Anderson, SC on Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 1:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, 301 University Ridge, Suite 5850, Greenville, SC 29601.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff of Richard Campbell Veteran's Nursing Home, who cared for him during his illness; to the Patriot Hospice "Angels", who helped the family during the transition of Leland Dwayne Wade to his Heavenly Home.
"Thanks to all for your words of comfort, kindness, and support."
