Wade, a proud Texan, was an avid hunter, a dedicated Longhorn, and Houston Texans fan. Wade took great pleasure in working with his hands. Whether creating an entire feast on the grill or an original piece of fine furniture, he was a master. No matter the activity, all were captivated by his sense of humor and his warmth. The true joy in Wade's life was his family. His love for his wife and children knew no bounds. He cherished each parental moment and left his children with a great example of devotion to family.

This quotation was written by a life-long friend of Wade's. "In the darkest periods of my life, Wade was present both physically and emotionally whether or not I deserved the support – truly the rarest of friends. I have always believed that if I were truly in need, I would look up and see Wade's face." All whose lives Wade touched received a gift from God. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to Cancer Answers. Gifts will be placed in the Andrew Sowell/Wade Huggins Endowed Scholarship Fund benefitting cancer research. Funds may be sent to Cancer Answers, 255 Wiesepape Rd., Brenham, TX, 77833, or through the website, www.canceranswersendowment.org.
