Adam was born on December 31, 1974, in St. Albens, VT the son of Francis Joseph and Nancy Ann (Dragoon) Wade III. At an early age the family moved to California and then Washington where Adam grew up and attended schools. In 2004, Adam moved to Rangely, CO where he attended the Law Enforcement Academy at CNCC. After graduation in 2005, Adam started out as a jailer at the Rio Blanco Sheriff’s Office. He worked his way up to Patrol, then Traffic officer. He later became a Sargent on the RBSO. On June 3, 2009, Adam married Cindy Lou Blankenship in Las Vegas, NV. In 2013, they moved to Culbertson, MT where he was a Scale Officer. Later, Adam became a Patrol Motor Carrie Officer for the Department of Transportation. Adam took a medical retirement in 2018 with the rank of Corporal.
Adam loved planning surprise road trips for him and Cindy Lou, favorite destinations were Vegas, Cripple Creek, and Deadwood, as was going to rodeos. Adam was a very loving and giving husband. He loved his dogs and cats.
He is gone but not forgotten. Adam often put others first, strong believer in paying it forward. He beat the cancer and donated his corneas to help two people receive the wonderful gift of sight and his body donated to MSU in Bozeman to help medical students learn more. Always thinking of and giving to others even in death. His memory will live on; he’s with the Angels now. RIP, your watch is ended and we have it from here my darling HERO husband.
