Wade was born February 15, 1958, the son of Wayne and Arta Hoherz. He was raised in Bentley and educated in Mott, graduating in 1976. He attended Bismarck Junior College, graduating in 1978. He then returned to Bentley to farm with his family. Wade truly loved and valued his family. He was excited when he started his own family on July 6, 1979 when he married the love of his life, and high school sweetheart, Wanda (Miller). They welcomed two children, Amy Jo Hoherz on January 13, 1983 and Casey Lee Hoherz on October 29, 1985. They were blessed with a grandson Declyn on November 1, 2017. He was the apple of Grandpa's eye. They were blessed with a second daughter, when Casey married Stacey Finneman in 2023. They also gained two more grandchildren, Jaynie and Joey.
Wade lost his Dad early in his life and continued to farm until 2003. He then worked as a crop insurance adjuster until stage 4 colon cancer ended his career in 2022. He fought a hard battle and showed no signs of colon cancer in late 2025. However just days after the good news he was again struck with Cancer (Glioblastoma) of which he could not overcome. Wade suffered horribly through this disease losing the ability to walk, to carry on conversation, and to do any of the things he loved including singing, playing his guitar, and listening to his stereo.
Wade was a gentle giant, and had a soft spot for dogs, kids and even "some adults". His pets gave him much joy. He was also a man of the Lord. He never wanted to miss Church. He was a big supporter of his nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews, traveling many miles to support them. If he could not be there, he watched them as often as he could. He was greeted in heaven by his Mom and Dad, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, cousins and friends that went before him. He will also be greeted with the wagging tails of many of his German Shepherds that went before him.
Wade served on Cannonball Township Board for Hettinger County and was the best caretaker the Bentley Cemetery ever had. He took great pride in the mowing and upkeep of the Cemetery. Wade was a talented musician. He had the most beautiful voice and played his guitar and sang for many weddings, celebrations, and funerals.
The Bentley Cemetery, the place he cherished so much, will be his final resting place where he will be laid along side his parents and Grandparents.
Gone too soon, and forever in our hearts he leaves behind Wanda, his wife of 47 years, Amy Jo and son Declyn, Casey and Stacey, and their children Jaynie (Lane Shields), and Joey Douglas. He also leaves behind his brothers: Chad (Bentley), Kevin and Mary (Bismarck), and David and Tammy (Falcon MO) and numerous nieces and nephews who cherish him.
Memorials will be established to the organizations closest to Wade's heart: Animal shelter, Mott Country Club, and Mott-Regent High School Scholarship Fund.
