Robert "Bob" Wade

Robert “Bob” Wade of Creighton, Missouri, passed away on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri, at the age of 69. He was born on November 10, 1955, at Wetzel Hospital in Clinton, Missouri, to George and Dona Jo Wade.

On December 31, 1994, Bob was united in marriage to Rosemary Cobbold in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. They found joy in everything they did together, whether hunting for tractor parts throughout Missouri, finding new places to eat or sitting in a field on the tailgate watching fireflies.

A dedicated farmer and lifelong resident of Creighton, Bob graduated from Sherwood School. He found great joy in hunting, fishing, mushroom hunting and exploring nature with his beloved dogs, Duke and Duchess. While he enjoyed most sports, he looked forward to Sundays with his buddies watching Chiefs games. Above all, he cherished his family. Bob always found time for his grandchildren, nieces and nephews, whether they were cooking a meal with random ingredients, fixing something on the farm or finding trouble and trying not to get caught.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Charlie Wade.

He is survived by his loving wife, Rosemary Wade of the home; daughter, April (Andrew) Nourse of Harrisonville; four grandchildren, Annie, Cece, Alex, and Corina, all of Harrisonville; his brother, George (Tina) Wade Jr. of Creighton; sister, Mary (Jerry) Green of Clinton; nieces Melissa, Crystal, Stephanie, Jacqueline, and Carlie Jo; nephews Benjamin and Cody; as well as many extended family members and friends.

Bob will be remembered for his outgoing personality and dedication to family. He never met a stranger and anyone who knew Bob for more than a few minutes walked away with a funny story.
