 Mr. Bural Thomas Wade Jr. was born on May 7, 1953 in Sumter County GA, the fifth of ten children born to the union of the late B T Wade and the late Lizzie Pearl Wade.  At an early age he joined the Mountain Creek AME Church.  He was educated in the Sumter County School System.

During the early spring morning of Monday, May 19, 2013, the Heavenly Father made a visit to the bedside of Brother Bural Thomas Wade Jr. and said Boy Wade, my good and faithful servant, let’s take a ride. You have fought a good fight.  You kept the faith. Now let’s go home and rest.  

Bural was someone you loved to be around and he enjoyed life.  He was a stranger to no one. Boy had a big heart and had a big smile.  He was a very special brother, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. Bural was a man of profound strength and courage.  He was kind, gentle and had a sweet and pleasing personality. He was kind and compassionate. He was affectionately known by his family, as Boy Wade. He loved his family and his family loved him.  He was not only loved by his family but also by his friends.  The children loved him and wanted to be in his company.  He also wanted a hug and kiss. He also had a rare sense of humor.
