Wade Leon Robison was taken home to Heaven on February 16, 2024 at the age of 70 years, 8 months and 3 days. He was born June 13, 1953 in Sayre, Oklahoma to Wilma Lodema and Wade Hubert Robison. In 1955, Wade H and Wilma moved from Oklahoma to block 16 in the Columbia Basin area to start farming. The Tri-Cities/Burbank area has been Wade's home ever since. He grew up in Pasco attending Mark Twain Elementary, Stevens Jr High and Pasco High School graduating in 1971. He discovered his love of throwing Javelin in High School. He continued throwing during his college years at Southwestern State College while studying Industrial Arts.

Wade was an outdoorsman from an early age. He liked to fish and LOVED to HUNT. He took great pride in his marksmanship and received several Sharpshooter awards from the NRA Jr Rifle Club. He was looking forward to joining a friend to hunt early morning on February 17th, 2024. He was blessed in life with many bird dogs and TREASURED that connection.

Wade cared for ANY greenery. Once it started growing, he wanted it to flourish. You name it, both indoor and out.  Anything from Grapes, Roses, Sagebrush, Raspberries, Fruit Trees, Farm Crops, even Juniper Bushes. Lately, especially his garden plants. Even constructing a temporary green house for one last crop of cherry tomatoes.

Wade enjoyed most party crowds and usually found a way to bring a smile to the group with his unique sense of humor or a session of jokes. He liked to hear people laugh and see them smile.

Wade liked to create with his hands. He worked hard during his life and maintained pride once he finished. It was about QUALITY, not particularly quantity. He had a strong work ethic and always strived to do his best at whatever he was doing. From farm hand, carpenter, roofer to concrete finisher. He looked to do something extra that would allow his work to stand out, no matter if he was the low man on the pole, the foreman or business owner. In retirement, he found great pleasure in making stash boxes and most recently uniquely finished canes. He loved bringing wood to life in various ways.

Wade was preceded in death by his fathers (Wade H Robison and Stan Burgess) and mother (Wilma Robison Burgess).

Wade is survived by his sister (Marjzon), Nephew (Derrik), Nieces (Ashley and Alyssa with Josiah and Isabelle), uncles (Don, Freddie and Gary Ellison), cousins and friends. His laidback genuine manner and fun-loving ways will be missed so very much.
