Charles Coates Wade Jr

Obituary for Charles Coates Wade Sr. Charlie-Daddy-Grandy Conway, SC Mr. Charles Coates Wade, Sr., 79, husband of Sue Nelle Bryan Wade, passed away Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at Grand Strand Regional Medical Center, entering the Kingdom of Heaven the way he lived, on God's terms, while surrounded by family. Born June 20, 1938 in Florence, SC, Mr. Wade was the son of the late Jesse Linwood Wade, Sr. and the late Ruth Stanley Wade. Charlie spent his life in service to others. He served his community as a friend and as a mentor, always being there for those in need of a helping hand. He served his country as a captain in the U. S. Army during the Vietnam era. He served his church, Westminster Associate Reform Presbyterian Church as an organizing member, deacon, and elder. His greatest service, though, was to his family as a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and uncle. He was employed by Wade-Lott, Inc. as general manager and highly respected estimator who had the uncanny ability, using only pen and paper, to match the results of the best computer programs, inch for inch and dollar for dollar. He was an exceptional athlete, playing football in his youth and as an avid golfer. One of his proudest accomplishments was when he played with Dave Stockton in the Heritage Pro-Am. Mr. Wade was predeceased by his brother, Stanley Eugene Wade and his sister, Betty Wade Brunson. Survivors include his wife of 55 years, Sue Nelle Bryan Wade; his daughter, Betty Lyles Wade and her husband Jared Micah Holz and his son, Charles Coates Wade, Jr. and his wife Zhenya Kazakova Wade; his grandchildren, Charles Coates "Cody" Wade, III and Mary Hannah Wade; his step-grandchildren, Alexander Robert Holz and Elizabeth Mariella Holz; his brother, Jessie Linwood Wade and his wife Catherine; and many nieces and nephews and other extended family. He is greatly missed and will never be forgotten. Those who had the privilege to know him will do as he would wish; Celebrate his long, happy, fruitful life-Remember the wisdom he imparted-Love as he loved-Give of yourself to others less fortunate-and always laugh a little every day. Funeral services will be held at 11:00AM Saturday, July 1, 2017 at Westminster Presbyterian Church, officiated by Rev. Randy Riddle, Rev. Preston Sartelle, and Rev. Marty Taylor.
