A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, fisherman, and hunter. He was also a beloved uncle and friend to many. A faithful member of Amazing Grace Baptist Church, he dedicated his heart and life to serving the Lord and his church. Throughout the years, Wade faithfully served in many roles, including choir director, deacon, and Sunday school teacher, always striving to make sure God’s light shone through him in all that he did. His unwavering faith, servant’s heart, and genuine love for others made a lasting impact on countless lives throughout his lifetime. Though he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, there is comfort in knowing that he has finally been united with his two greatest loves: his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and his loving wife, Kay.

Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his loving wife, Nancy “Kay” Bruner Galyean; and sisters, Betty Rae Galyean, Linda Galyean Davis, and Peggy Galyean Thornton.
