Mitchell “Mitch” Ross Wade, 73, of Weirton, West Virginia, passed away on November 1, 2026, at PAM Health.
He was born on October 23, 1953, to the late Donald Delvry Wade and Gertrude Dean Swiger.
Mitch attended Brooke High School before proudly serving his country in the United States Army.
Mitch was a hardworking man who always put his family first. There was never a moment when he wasn’t willing to lend a helping hand to someone he loved. Whether it was helping with a project or finding a way to fix something around the house, Mitch was quite the handyman, often turning to Google or YouTube to learn whatever he needed to get the job done.
Mitch enjoyed playing softball, shooting pool with his brothers and son, and playing euchre. He also loved spending time with his family, watching his favorite television shows, including Yellowstone, Landman, and Tulsa King. However, his favorite channel was undoubtedly The Weather Channel. A diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Mitch could always be found cheering on his team, no matter the outcome.
On August 16, 2010, Mitch married the love of his life Kellie Ann Wade. Their marriage was filled with laughter, unconditional love, and a bond that was truly special. They cherished every day they spent together, even keeping track of each one. By May 28, 2026, at the time of Kellie’s passing, they had shared 5,764 days together. Some of their happiest memories were made boating at Salt Fork State Park.
Above all, Mitch was devoted to his family. He was an incredible father and an even more amazing grandfather. His grandson, Connor, was truly his world. Mitch never missed an opportunity to be there for him, whether attending piano lessons, school activities, or any other special event.
He will be lovingly remembered by his son, Nicholas Patrick (Nicole Marie) Wade; his grandson, Connor David Wade; his brothers, Robert Wade and his fiancée, Sam Webster, and Donald (Kathy) Wade; and his sisters, Carla Long and her companion, Nick Greiner, and Marie (Donald) Grindstaff.
Mitch will be remembered as the best dad, a devoted grandfather, a loving brother, and a man whose greatest accomplishment was always being there for the people he loved.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 12:00 PM until 2:00 PM at Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home.
In accordance with Mitch’s wishes, he will be cremated at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home Crematory, Weirton, WV.
