Wade is preceded in death by his parents, Allen Oncale and Lynda Rose Steen Oncale; grandparents Estus and Mini Ola Steen; his favorite brother-in-law, Leroy Blanchard; best friend, Ronny “Potat” Thibodaux and his beloved dog Paco.

Wade enjoyed car racing, working with his hands, fishing at the camp in Pointe Aux Chene, spending time with his children, playing and drawing with grandchildren, Alabama Football “Roll Tide,” and most of all raising hell wherever he went!


The family would like to thank the caring staff at Ochsner Medical Neuro ICU, especially Sarah Elliot, his ICU nurse who went above and beyond!

In lieu of flowers, the family request that you take a moment to slow down. Spend a day with your loved ones doing what you enjoy. We recommend fishing or going to the racetrack.

Ordoyne Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
