We give our deepest sympathies for your loss. My kids went to Coronado with Wade. My daughter was in his graduating class and my son used to be in a class Wade visited constantly. They both tell me he was a great kid with a great heart. Just know that he never really left us because he lives on in our hearts always and you will most certainly see him again. Our prayers are with all your family.

It is hard to think that Wade is gone. Wade was a great person. He grew up to become a good person. I will really miss seeing him. He used to pop into the daycare and put smiles on anyone that saw him. I'll miss that. I wish his family all the support they can get. If there is anything any one of the Lehman family needs, please don't think twice about asking.

Lori, Kurt and Brandon, As you know, I was able to see Wade every single day of his high school career. Wade was a very special student, athlete and friend. There are just some students that teachers really connect with and Wade was really a that one for me. I feel honored to have taught, mentored and coached Wade. Wade was always in my classroom... and for more than just the typical education stuff. I learned so much from Wade about being a kid and about what practice and competition ment in sport. During his senior year I was able to really see the teacher in Wade emerging. I was so very proud. Now Wade has his wings and looks on us to guide us in our endeauvors. I will so miss Wade. Thank you for such a great kid!!! In loving memory of Wade, Coach Schleiker

I'm sorry to hear about losing Wade. He always made me laugh, it made work go by easier during the summers. And though it's been a few years since last I saw him because I moved, he will always be remembered a good friend to my daughter and myself. I'm glad I had the privilege to have known him.

I didn't know Wade, I only attended several wrestling matches at Coronado and seen him wrestle. He gave my grandson, Cory, pointers on how to improve his game. I don't remember any of the other kids but I do remember Wade and was very sad to hear about the accident. He really stood out in a crowd. He was such a nice young man. My heart goes out to you.

I wasn't exceptionally close with Wade, but I knew him well enough to know that he was a wonderful human being. He always had a positive attitude and took life head on. His kindness was well known, and I admire him for his lust for life and the contributions he made to the Westside and Coronado community. Wade, you will be missed.

My family is so sorry for your loss. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Wade well, but knowing your family as i do, he was a wonderful, caring person. Sending you loving thoughts and prayers in lieu of making an appearance at the memorial. Love and miss you all.

I drove by the accident about five minutes after it happened. I didn't think much of it because you never want to think that it can be someone you know. Wade and I graduated together, wrestled together, and were partners in Auto Shop. Me and Wade and some other of our friends went 4-wheeling together countless times and went to numerous wrestling tournaments. Gonna miss you man. R.I.P.

We are so very sorry for the loss of Wade. He was a good young man and a joy to be around. We have known Wade since he and our son Garrett wrestled together at the Falcon Wrestling club. Wade always sought us out at wrestling tournaments providing hugs and smiles, and his attitude was always wonderful. We loved him dearly.

We are so sorry to hear about Wade. Our son Ryan remembers Wade looking out for him while he was a new wrestler in the Falcon Wrestling Club, and for coming to his birthday party when Ryan was turning 7. Wade was funny and always made us laugh. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all, may GOD give you strength.
