Wade B. Patterson
 Wade B. Patterson, 58, Lowville, NY,
joined his mom and dad in Heaven on Saturday, September 6, 2025 after a brief hospitalization at Upstate University
in Syracuse, NY.
Wade was born on June 27, 1967
in Lowville, NY, a beloved son to Kent and Carole
Patterson, Glenfield, NY. He was raised on the family
homestead on McConnell Rd. Glenfield and schooled locally. After graduating
from South Lewis CSD in 1987, Wade went to work for Sundt-Parsons Actus as
a laborer, fulfilling government contracts while prepping floors for concrete
pours. He went to work for Barrett Paving Materials out of Syracuse, NY
in 1991 and was employed as a full time laborer
and traffic control specialist until becoming disabled in 2015.
Life was anything
but easy for Wade. Living with diabetes most of his adult life, he was
faced with many adverse health challenges that he bravely overcame with a
grin. However, those challenges didn’t stop him from enjoying and living
his life to the fullest. A diehard Dallas Cowboy fan, he faithfully watched
the games with anyone who wanted to join. To know Wade, was to love him. He
was a larger than life guy who would give you the
shirt off his back. While often found camping on Little Otter Lake or Catspaw Lake, Wade would always have a
fishing pole in hand. He loved all things outdoors; hunting, fishing,
playing horse shoes, sitting around a campfire
listening to his favorite rock band, The Cars, while enjoying a Busch Lite
beer. He enjoyed children and left many lasting memories for each of his
nieces, nephews and his God-Daughter; Mackenzie.
When he wasn’t enjoying outdoor activities, Wade could often be found
playing a game of cards with his parents and siblings.
He married Anne
Jones in April 2001, becoming a proud step-father
to her two children, Casey and Josh. The marriage ended in divorce.
Wade is survived
by his siblings; John (Kerry), Tennessee; Kent, (AKA; Bug) Greig, NY, Jack
(Ginny), Glenfield, NY; Jill (Karl) Lyons Falls, NY; Rob (Kelly) Greig, NY;
Linda (Chris) Florida; Faith, Maryland; and his best friend Cliff Colwell
(Michelle) Port Leyden, NY. He is predeceased by his parents,
sister-in-law, Trish Patterson; and nephew, Doug
Patterson.
Calling hours
will be at the Sundquist Funeral Home on Sunday, September 14, 2025
from noon until 2:00 p.m. followed by a burial at
Brantingham Cemetery. The family would like to
invite anyone who knew and loved Wade, to join us
at the family home on McConnell
Road, Glenfield, immediately after the
funeral. Bring a dish to pass and your favorite beverage to help us
remember and celebrate a man we so dearly loved.
In lieu of
flowers, please consider making a donation to the
Lewis County Humane Society to honor Wade’s love of animals.
