Jeffrey Wayne Wade

“I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies.” John 11: 25

Jeffrey Wayne Wade, a resident of Zachary, Louisiana was called home to heaven by his Savior, Jesus Christ on Tuesday, March 10, 2026. Jeff served in the U.S. Navy on the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier for three years. After his Navy service, he began a career as Land Surveyor working for several survey contractors in Louisiana and Florida. For the past fifteen years he worked doing HVAC maintenance, house painting, and lawn care services for numerous Sr. adults and widows in the Zachary community. It is no secret that Jeff struggled for much of his adult life with substance abuse. But, it is also no secret that Jeff was a kind-hearted, loving, gentle soul who loved people and was well-loved in return by people. Even in the midst of his struggles, Jeff never lost his love for Jesus, his family, or his church family. Jeff will be greatly missed by his family and friends. A few of the things we will miss the most is Jeff’s sweet spirit, his beautiful smile that would light up a room, and his great big bear hugs.

He is survived by two sisters: Penny Fletcher and husband, Andy; Janet Blount and husband, Craig; a brother, Bobby Wade and wife, Jo Leah; many nieces and nephews. Jeff was preceded in death by his loving parents, Robert and Carol Wade. We are forever grateful to our Wonderful, Merciful, Savior who held Jeff fast throughout his 67 years, and has now welcomed him to his eternal home in heaven, never to struggle again.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jeff’s memory to First Baptist Church Les Colvin Mission Fund, 4200 Main St. Zachary, LA 70791 or to Home of Grace Addiction Recovery, P.O. Box 5009 Van Cleave, MS 39565.

Service will be Saturday, March 14, 2026 at First Baptist Church, Zachary LA. Visitation will begin at 9:00 am with service at 11:00 am

“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8: 38 & 39
