Kirkland, WA—The community of Kirkland is deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of Wade Minor on August 6th. Wade was a cherished father, a dedicated softball coach, and a beloved school bus driver who touched many lives with his kindness and enthusiasm.
Wade’s sudden departure has left a profound void in the lives of his family, particularly his daughter, Christina Minor, and her mother. Christina, who is preparing to leave for college in a few weeks, shared the devastating news that her father passed away in his sleep, leaving her and her mother to navigate the overwhelming responsibilities that come with such a loss.
Wade was known for his unwavering support of his daughter’s activities, particularly her involvement in softball. He often surprised her by showing up at her games in his school bus, bringing joy and pride to her and her teammates. His dedication extended beyond his family, as he was actively involved in Little League and Lake Washington Softball, always ready to lend a hand or offer words of encouragement.
The community has rallied around Wade’s family during this difficult time. A fundraiser organized by Sheepa Bansal on behalf of Christina Minor has raised $18,070 of the $20,000 goal to help cover funeral expenses and other costs. Among the contributors are Joe Reynolds, who made the top donation of $5,000, and Anna Disney, who recently donated $50.
The outpouring of support on social media has been heartwarming. Brandi Comstock expressed her sorrow, stating, "This is so sad. Wade was an amazing human and a genuinely good guy." Annemarie Smith shared a fond memory, recalling how Wade would watch his daughter play softball on his phone while waiting for students on school field trips. She remarked, "This is heartbreaking, Sheepa."
Wade’s impact on those around him was profound, and his legacy will be carried forward by the many lives he touched. The community’s love and support are a testament to the person he was and the difference he made.
We extend our deepest condolences to Christina and her mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
