Calvin Underwood Wade
Calvin “Sarge” Underwood Wade, a.k.a Kevin Michael Wade, passed away unexpectedly at his home on February 24, 2022 in Orlando, Florida at the age of 58. Calvin is survived by his parent, Flossie Dee Martin of Erlanger Ky. and seven siblings. Brothers Dale Wade, Marshall Martin and Scott Martin all residents of Northern Ky, Sisters Rhonda Lewis of Roanoke Va. Sandy Sheriff, Debbie Collins and Julia Mcgivern all residents of Northern Ky. Along with many nieces and nephews and close friend Donald Reilly. He is preceded in death by his brother Terry Wade of Roanoke Va., sister Patricia Eccles of Independence Ky., father Albert Wade of Bowling Green Ky. Calvin was born on April 21, 1963 in Dearborn County In. to Flossie Martin and Albert Wade. He graduated from Pike’s Peak College with a degree in business. Calvin joined the U.S Army from September 6, 1990 to May 15, 2003 where he rose to the rank of Sergeant First Class, was a Gulf War Veteran and an Army Recruiter. Calvin spent most of his adult life in the service of the United States Military (Army). Once retired, Calvin simply lived his life to the fullest. Calvin was the “try anything” brother everyone wishes they had. Calvin was a free spirit who never took things seriously. Calvin was a loving son, brother and a giving soul. Calvin will be sorely missed by his family and those he touched. I recall the stories from his youth his siblings would tell of Grandma Soard yelling at our Mom for things he’d get into. So, one last time for my brother…. “TOT… Sarge is on the fence again!” We will always love and miss you brother. Don’t get stuck in any mailboxes. A visitation will be held on Saturday March 12, 2022 from 3pm until 5pm at Linnemann Funeral Home in Erlanger, KY. A funeral service will immediately follow the visitation. Calvin will be laid to rest in Williamstown Ky. with full military honors at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family is asking for donations be made to the Disabled American Veterans Association in his name.
