Curtis Gregory Wade, loving father and husband, passed away on Sunday, December 5, 2021, at the age of 66.
Curtis was born in Habersham County, Georgia on September 19, 1955, and spent his early years in Alto. He married Vicki
Hunter of Clarkesville in 1976 and they were blessed to welcome their only child, Talia Wade (Gray) the following year.
An avid sportsman, Curtis enjoyed tennis and track and field as a young man. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing and proudly displayed some of his sporting trophies throughout his Demorest home. Curtis was preceded in death by his father, Vance Greene Wade and his mother, Birdell Blalock Wade.
He was very proud of his family, loving wife, Vicki Hunter Wade of Demorest; daughter & son-in-law, Talia Wade Gray & Eric Gray of Gainesville; siblings, Mahala Wade Moody and her husband, David Moody of Alto; Vancine Wade Chandler and her husband, Charles Chandler of Cornelia; Chris Wade and his wife, Beverly McAllister Wade of Cleveland. Curtis is leaving behind many nieces and nephews as well as their children and grandchildren. He will be missed by all.
Curtis was a musician, adept at the guitar and bass and frequently used his deep baritone voice to sing for the enjoyment of his friends and family. His intelligence, strength and humor will be sorely missed. His reunion with our Heavenly Father is a blessed event, even as his family mourns their loss. In God’s time, we shall all be reunited soon.
