I am so sorry for your loss…I will pray that your family finds the strenght you need to keep his memory alive and to make it day by day. I just read the story and watched the video with my 10 yr old daughter and 9 yr old niece because they will be driving in the years to come and maybe they will keep this story and video of a saddened father in the back of their mind when the times come for them to drive. I also think this video should be shown in DMV’s across the U.S. before a permit and driver’s license is obtained therfore teenager’s can see first hand of the consequence of texting while driving.. Once again I am very sorry for your loss and maybe this have just saved someone’s life…

Ken, thank you so much for sharing Wade’s story. With all my losses, nothing compares to the loss of your son. I Needed to hear this, for me. You were right when you said… so many do it, but ashamed to admit it. God be with you. I know it must be hard, but thru Wade’s story-he is continuing to save lives. God bless y’all and again , Thank You.

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our son to a man who ran a red light. He was 17 when he passed. The accident was about five miles from our house as well and as we drove to the hospital to see my husband who was also injured I prayed my son was all right. As soon as I saw the vehicle I knew he was not. I knew it because my husband is a body tech and I knew how bad this accident really was by looking at the car. Your story is heartbreaking. I wish you healing and peace in dealing with the weeks and months ahead of you.

We know your hurt and pain Connie & Ken and yes, you are right… This is a bad dream that we can’t wake up from.
Gods strength as you go through these days, months and years without Wade. I know for a fact that you will continue to love and miss him and you will tell him out loud every day just how much you miss and love him dearly and how much you do want him back here.
All I can say is “Safe in His Arms”,
Sincere Blessings to you both,
Jeannie

Thank you Ken, for sharing Wade’s story with the public. God will sustain your family in this tragic loss and other parents may not have to face the same thing because of your sharing. We remember Wade at 5 or 6 at the restaurant in Davisville. He was so friendly, going from table to table talking to everyone. He was a very special little person . God’s blessings to all the family.

This story is so near to my heart! I lost my 23 year old niece in a car accident nearly three years ago! Because of a woman who was distracted by her cell phone! This woman was 52 years old, so you see it happens to everyone! Please everyone including myself, there is no message or phone call that can’t wait until you are stopped to answer! Our lifes were forever shattered that morning, please please dont text and drive or talk on your cell while driving!
