Mr. Michael Andrew "Andy" Wade

Mr. Michael Andrew "Andy" Wade, age 65, of Rome, Georgia, passed away on Friday, May 15, 2026, at his home surrounded by his loving family. 

Mr. Wade was born on May 15, 1961, in Knoxville, Tennessee, to the late Michael Amos Wade and Judith Ann Holt Wade. While born in Tennessee, Andy grew up in Rome, Georgia after his family's move to the area. He was hardworking and studious throughout his school years and was a proud member of the Coosa High School class of 1979 and was a member of the high school marching band. He went on to earn his Bachelor's Degree from Kennesaw State University and then his Master's Degree from Shorter University. Andy was an avid sports fan and basketball was his favorite by far! Before his accident, you'd find him running the court officiating basketball games.  After his accident, Andy didn't let his love of the game fall to the wayside, he became the record keeper. It was his devotion and love of the game that earned him a place in the Hall of Fame at Shorter University for keeping the basketball books for 30 years. Andy attended and was a member at Northside Church where he was loved by everyone he encountered. He will be greatly missed by all those who were lucky enough to know him.

Mr. Wade is survived by his loving mother, Judi Holt Wade; two devoted brothers, Phil (Keli) Wade and Danny (Beth) Wade; several nieces and nephews and great nieces and great nephews; along with a host of friends. 

The family would like to express a huge thank you to Andy's caregivers: Tina Johnson, Lori Lemming, Morgan Jones, Tahyna Jones, and Dixie Camp for the exceptional care that was given to Andy.
