Eulogy of Wade Lurk 

After seeing so many people pour into this church yesterday and today, I realized that in five minutes I can’t do justice to the life of such a very special person. 

Last night as people came through the line to express their sympathies, I heard many of them ask the question, why did it have to take so long to find him? I too felt that way. For a moment, I even felt bitter, asking God, why did you make us suffer so long? I prayed for an answer. 

It finally hit me. All the time that the hundreds of you helped searched for Wade, he was actually finding each of us. Just like he touched so many in his life, Wade continued to touch even more of us in his death. 

By the time Wade was found, he quite possible touched the lives of millions through his attention in the media and the chains of e-mail transferring from well-wisher to well- wisher across the world. What a blessing for someone so young. 

Over the past few weeks, I have come to know Wade even better then I could imagine. So many people have told us stories about him. What a wonderful kid he was to have been so young yet have touched the hearts of so many. 

Tina and Mike, your strength and faith in God and the Blessed Mother has been an inspiration to us all. 

Jordon and Brook it is going to be hard for a while. Please try to be strong. Your mom and dad will need you to be there for them now more then ever. 

Mom, dad, Jim, and Rosalee, remain strong in your faith. Do not give in to your grief over the loss of Wade. The rest of your grandkids still look to you for inspiration and strength. 

To all of Wade’s friends and family, especially you still in the prime of your life, please help us add meaning our loss. Remember Wade often. Think about those you love and let them know it every day. As Wade wrote in his high school year-book, “You only get one chance to live your life.” How painfully true that is. Please do not let Wade’s life have been for nothing. “Live [your life] the way you want to, enjoying every second.” 

But please don’t go down the same path that led us here today. 

Thank you all for such tremendous support over these past days and weeks. Our families are truly grateful. 

I love you Wade.

Wade, 

It's been 1 year and it still doesn't seem real. We love you and miss you. You can be so proud of your Mom, Dad, Brooke and Jordan. Because of you, we've found out just how wonderful and kind people can be. You really are our special angel. 

Love,

I just wanted to let everyone know that the support all are showing on this site, other sites, during the search effort, visiting, etc, has made it so much easier on Tina, Jordan, Brooke and myself. It is just amazing to us to see how the Ste. Genevieve community has come together. Our thanks also go out to all those outside the community that have offered their prayers, helped to spread the word, and even travelled to assist in the search. It really makes us count our blessings. We are all hopeful for Wade's safe return. Keep up the prayers. 

Mike

As I was typing the lyrics of this song for a close friend of mine who's family also suffered a tragic loss this weekend, I couldn't get your family out of my mind and decided to also share the words with you. I don't know why tragic things have to happen, but I do know that as long as we put our faith in God he will comfort us and give us peace beyond anything we could ever imagine. 


Praise You In This Storm 

I was sure by now, 
God, You would have reached down 
And wiped our tears away, 
Stepped in and saved the day. 
But once again I say, "Amen," 
And it's still raining. 
But as the thunder rolls, 
I barely hear You whisper through the rain, 
"I'm with you." 
And as Your mercy falls, 
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives 
And takes away. 
And I'll praise You in this storm, 
And I will lift my hands, 
For You are who You are, 
No matter where I am. 
And every tear I've cried 
You hold in Your hand. 
You never left my side. 
And though my heart is torn, 
I will praise You in this storm. 

I remember when 
I stumbled in the wind. 
You heard my cry to You, 
And raised me up again. 
But my strength is almost gone. 
How can I carry on 
If I can't find You? 
But as the thunder rolls, 
I barely hear You whisper 
Through the rain, 
"I'm with you." 
And as Your mercy falls, 
I raise my hands 
And praise the God who gives 
And takes away. 
And I'll praise You in this storm, 
And I will lift my hands, 
For You are who You are, 
No matter where I am. 
And every tear I've cried, 
You hold in Your hand. 
You never left my side. 
And though my heart is torn, 
I will praise You in this storm. 

I lift my eyes unto the hills. 
Where does my help come from? 
My help comes from the Lord, 
The Maker of Heaven and Earth. 
I lift my eyes unto the hills. 
Where does my help come from? 
My help comes from the Lord, 
The Maker of Heaven and Earth. 

And I will praise You in this storm, 
And I will lift my hands, 
For You are who You are, 
No matter where I am. 
And every tear I've cried 
You hold in Your hand. 
You never left my side. 
And though my heart is torn, 
I will praise You in this storm. 
And though my heart is torn, 
I praise You in this storm. 

-Casting Crowns 


I pray that He gives you peace beyond all measure.

As the friend of a family friend (Sheri Abell), and the mother of a 17 year old girl and 16 year old boy, I keep Wade's memory close to my heart. I continue to remind my children to be safe and to watch out for their friends. I'm sure Wade is watching out too ... I hope and pray that his family and friends are finding joy in their lives.

Hello. I am a mother of three, one about to turn 18 in 13 days. I really don't recall how I came up on Wade's home page but I just wanted to say my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you continue the day-to-day struggle of living your life "without" Wade. With my daughter about to turn 18, I have come to the realization she is almost full-grown and as a human being I have taken for granite soooo much where she and my other children are considered. As I read about Wade's story, I have made a solumn vow to get it right.. "that I only have this one chance" with my kids...

It doesn't matter what happens during the course of the day something always brings me back to the thought of you. You're so important in so many peoples' lives. Please take care of those people. Please take of me. I love you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm 60 years old and when I was young and in school we did not have things like this to turn to, or did we even think of such ways to do these things. I hope this opens a lot of eyes for others and new and more ideas will lead us all to be safer in our one time world we get to live in.

Dear Family Members and Friends, 
I'm so sorry for all....your agony defies words...I know because I lost my son from a devasting illness that took his life inch by inch. I'm not comparing grief or suffering or circumstances....I'm talking about the unspeakable horror of putting your own child in the ground before yourself.... 
For me, thinking I would never recover....could never recover, by putting one foot in front of the other each day .....doing whatever I was able to do each day, helped me to rejoin the life around me and suddenly, I was able to smile, get involved in things and had interests. That hollow pain never goes away, never leaves me....but I'm functioning and I'm able to have good times and most importantly, I can give and receive love from others around me. 
I know and pray that you can heal enough to look around and find all the things you have that are worth living for. 
God Bless!

It been almost 15 months since someone bought Wade the alchol which eventually let to his death,I realize that only he himself decided to drink,but who ever you are i hope it bothers you till the day you are no longer on this earth.You would think that parents would have learned their lesson in this small town but it still is going on parents are still letting their kids drink just because you take their keys away doesn,t make it right. In closing look at you childs picture ,close your eyes and pretend that you are never going to see them again, no more weekley visits, no more phone calls, no more smiling faces and no more laughter, nothing but tears think about it real hard and maybe you will wake up. We have to do this every day for the rest of our lives for real. Hope you all can sleep good because we no longer can. Grand-Pa Jim Wilder

Wade (where ever you are), 
IT's been a year and everyone is still thinking about you. WE know that your in heaven and looking down on us.. We will always remember you as the guy that could make us smile any time we needed it. So I wrote a poem for you... 

WADE... 

You're a miracle from above 
You're soul was like a dove 
It was free 
and did what it would please 
Even though your gone 
We still long 
for you to come back 

I've only known you a small time 
But your still with me 
This is such a horrible crime 
I can't stand to see 
Everyone in this pain 
They all cry 
even when people can see 
They sit there and ask why 

When they find out the story 
they sit and wonder why 
this happened 
to such a great guy 

Wade I love you with all my heart. Watch over me.

Wade, 
It took me long enough to write something in here. I know i did a while back but i cant find it. anyways, me and laura always reminsce about the times at the bowling alley and the very first time me and laura both met you and she gave you her number. There was no way either of us thought that you would call her. Thats the night we were at Elizabeths and me and you started singing the Mac N Cheese song, those were some GREAT times, that was when i went to crystal and then you started making fun of me for moving to Farmington. you'll always be the greatest "gangster" at least you thought you were more gangster than me. but ill post something in here later. the bell is gettin ready to ring. 

With much love

Still praying for your family and to Wade almost every day. His life has made such a huge impact on the world and, in my case, the way i view the importance of life. His quote lives throughout so many people and has become the prayer before high school classes begin, the motto many of us strive to live by, and the little reminder in the back of our heads of why God has put us on Earth. Your family and Wade will be in my heart forever.

To Wade's Family: I'm not exactly sure how I came across the homepage for Wade......but I've read the accounting of what happened to him. I have 2 older sons in their 20's...I don't know how they survived their teen years, honestly. I have one left at home who is almost 16 -- incredible young man. He also is an athlete and Christian. I have printed your Buddy Cards and I know, without a doubt, that my son will be proud to slip one into his wallet and pass them out to his friends. I will tell him the story of Wade's life and how the Buddy Card has came about. Wade will live on in taking care of other young men. May God Bless all of you!

I came across your sons website and my heart just went out to you and your whole community, wade sounds like he was just a great kid. I have an 18 year old daughter fixing to graduate from high school and I worry about her every time she walks out the front door, she also just lost a friend of hers friday due to a car accident, he to was a great kid with his whole life ahead of him, and it just makes me more thankful everyday that I still have her with me, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I just wanted to extend my deepest sympathies to Wade's family. What happened to him was such a tragedy. As the mother of two teenagers, Wade's death deeply affected me and I think of him often. It is heartbreaking to me that he didn't even have the chance to attend his prom or graduate from high school. His was a promising life that ended much too soon. I am so, so sorry for the loss of your precious son.

I didn't know Wade, but my heart goes out to his family and friends for their terrible loss. 

I lost my best friend 11 years ago due to an accident where the person driving the vehicle he was in was intoxicated and passed a car on a hill, only to hit a van head on. I was supposed to be with them that night but changed my mind because I had a bad feeling. There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't go over the "What ifs" in my head. There isn't a day where I don't miss him terribly. 

Stay strong, remember Wade, and love him as he still loves you.

I was so terrified for Ben but then when they found both of them it was such a relief. It made me think of you and I though maybe you had watched over them two and prayed for them. But anyways I miss ya a lot and watch over all of us!!!!

I am with a non-profit organization, founded in memory of my late husband, Mark Munsell. One of our goals is helping area youth athletics. I believe quite a few Lurks attended our New Year's Eve party--was hoping to meet them, but we had over 1000 guests! The Mark Munsell Memorial Foundation is looking for groups to donate sporting equipment to (we received several soccer balls & much more) and possibly monetary contributions as well. I know Wade's soccer club was mentioned months ago & we would like to help in some way! 
Also sending peace & blessings to the family.

I was really devastated when I heard that Wade was missing, I hung up flyers all over cape and jackson area. Wade was a magnificant person. He is very much so missed. I didn't know Wade all that much, I talked to him at all of our family gatherings, but that was about it. I love you guys very much and don't hestitate to ask me if you guys need anything at all. You guys, your family, and Wade are all in my prayers. Good Luck and Best Wishes. Your faith in God is really amazing and I'm glad to see you all holding up. God Bless You! Take care and be careful.

I was watching the news the other day and saw "The Buddy List". I got on this web site and printed off the cards. I gave them to the principal at Fredericktown High School and plan to give them to the all students. I will go to Farmington and Park Hills and do the same thing. You have inspired me and I feel that this will help kids. 
thank you.

Hey im so sorry about wade! He was an awsome kid and i him very much. He was good at everything and he tried very hard to accomplish his goal and he does most of them. But since he's gone alot of people have been missing him and crying because he's gone and we just wish that he'd come back to us just for one more minute to finally say good-bye. Wade was a cool sweet laid-back kind of guy!

Mike and Tina, 
"With tragedy comes good." 
I don't know who said that, but in this case they were right. The report on TV 12 was wonderful and hopefully will do a lot of good. The buddy card system WILL help someone in the future and hopefully will save a life. 
Also I want to say thank you both for passing on the love to the kids at Valle and for inspiring others to step forward in wanting to do good. God's loving hand is at work and you can be so proud. I know that your pain runs deeper than I can imagine. All we can hope is that with tragedy comes good and it is happening all over. 
Peace be with you. 
Your cousin

Wade touched the hearts of our family when he was missing. We read about him in the paper and then he was talked about at school (St. Charles, MO.) 
I am also a mother of 3, the oldest is a son who will get his license in Jan. I have printed off the budy cards and hope to share them w my son and his friends. What a wonderful idea you have come up with that could save others. For you to want to be involved in making other teens lives better, we parents commend you. Together with Wade, you are making a difference. I am glad to have his name printed on these buddy cards to remember him. May you find peace especially during these holidays.

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SON. I AM 25 AND HAVE A 6YR OLD DAUGHTER AND I CAN NOT IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT HER. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO IMAGINE HOW HARD IT IS FOR A PARENT TO LOSE A CHILD, ESPECIALLY AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE AND SO UNEXPECTEDLY. IT BRINGS ME TO TEARS TO WATCH THE "BUDDY CARD" SEGMENT ON KFVS12.COM, AND TO I READ ALL OF THE HEART FELT LETTERS ON THIS WEBSITE. IM SURE WADES DEATH AND THE THINGS DONE IN HIS HONOR HAVE TAUGHT A LESSON TO ALOT OF PEOPLE,POSSIBLY EVEN SAVED SOME LIVES AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AND I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS. AND TO WADE, I DID NOT KNOW YOU, BUT FROM WHAT I GATHER YOU WERE AN AWESOME PERSON AND HAVE MANY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WHO LOVE YOU ALOT. IM SORRY SUCH A THING HAS HAPPENED TO YOU. YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS.

Hello - You do not know me, but do to this so unfortunate accident, I do know about you and your son Wade. 

I have a 10 year old son and when I read about your son first missing, my heart skipped a beat. I prayed he would be found save and unharmed. 

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I can not imagine what you have been through nor what you are continuing to go through. I have a 10 year old son & I can not begin to imagine life without him. 

By the smile in the pictures of your son, it was obvious he was very much loved. That is the greatest gift any parent can give a child & it is very obvious that you all were able to supply that to him. 

Again, please accept my condolences. 

Peace to your family.

Lurk family, 
You may not know me, but you may know my brother Ben Rosen. Wade and Ben were good friends and Ben misses him very much. I never had the chance to meet Wade, but I wish I had because of all that is said about him he must of been the greatest person in the world. Even though I never met him I was still scared to death because anyone of Ben's friends is a brother to me. Everyone misses him very much and everyone loved him. He'll always be in our hearts and our minds. He is Ste.Genevieve's gaurdian angel. I'm keeping you guys in my prayers.

Thank you for keeping my Katie close to you. Being close to you keeps her close to Wade. There is not a day that does not go by that we don't think of him. I cry every time his name is mentioned. I 
don't think anything has ever touched our family so much as this has. Keep God in your hearts, never give up on faith and know that he was loved by everyone.

Im not 2 sure who reads these but its late, and I found my way to this site somehow so I guess I'll put a lil somethin. I never met Wade, Im pretty sure he played football, so we might have went up against each other at one point. Im a junior at Park Hills Central. Up untill I met Kelci Meyer{the greatest girl I think I'll ever meet}all I knew about Valle was that they won like a thousand state championships. Kelci really made me understand some of the impact that it had on his friends and family. I just can't imagine what everyone went through the days Wade was missing. I gotta lotta respect for everyone who still goes on after something like this happened. Cuz I know it would be hard for me to carry on with my life after a tradegy like this. Well this msg is gettin kinda long so I guess I'll end it. I know Brooke knows who I am,because of Kelci but Im guessing everyone else reading this doesn't. But tomorrows Thanksgiving,and I hope your guys' first one without Wade goes good. I never really sit down and think about stuff Im thankful for but after hearing Wade's story, I definitly will. I really do see things differently now-I can never go to or pass Goose Creek without thinking about what happened to Wade Lurk.

My Son would have been 18 years old on January 6, 2005, but passed away at the trnder young age of 17, J.P. would 
have graduated from East Prairie High School on May 26th, 2005. 
He was planning on attending college in Columbia MO. and majored 
in History and minored in Music. 
James Paul Bramlett only lived 9547 days of his short life. 
He lived 17 years, 8 month's and 24 days. 
But his precious memories will always live on for me. 
JP left this earth to be with our Savior and God in Heaven 
on September 30, 2004 due to a car accident. 
Rest In Peace JP, You are so very much missed by so many. 
Youngest son of only two children, 
There was no drinking nor drugs involved, just inexperience in driving on the part of the driver who was driving the car. Which was the drummer of his band, Idol Smile,my son was lead guitarist of the band. 
I sympathize with ANY parent who has lost a loved one at such a young age. 
Visit my son, J.P. Bramlett's website for more. Videos, music, pictures, a forum, and much more at:

Your courage was a blessing to me. I can't talk about my parents without breaking down. Please say a prayer for me, as I will you. I pray daily for strength.

I am thankful to the Lord that you are able to bring something positive out of Wade's death. I saw the buddy card on t.v. this morning and thought "what a wonderful memorial to Wade". I am the youth counselor at our church, Immanuel Lutheran in Altenburg. I would love to get buddy cards and hand them out to the teenagers in our group. My 16 yr. old daughter Kasey is in the group and I esp. want her to have one. Thanks for your strong and wonderful witness for our Lord, Jesus. I will continue to pray for strength for your family. God bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving. PS. Don't ever stop putting Wade's ornaments on the Christmas tree-what a great way to honor his memory each and every year. 

Sincerely, 
Kay

I also have a 17 year old son, this morinig I recorded the news and I'm now going to make buddy cards and have my son and his friends come to my house, watch the tape and give them a card. Thank you so much for that, and now I will always think about what you said about the last morning you saw Wade. I went to sleep last night with you and your family on my mind. And as the song says "I can only imagine"

I am sorry for your loss and believe me we understand your hurt. We lost our Son Chris on Oct 2 this year to a tragic car accident. Chris was much like your son fun loving and out going would never hurt anyone, but was always there to help. We will miss him for the Holidays as i know you will miss your son.Christopher's favorite song was Live Like You Are dying. That is what he would tell us. we are trying to make it the best way we can one day at a time.God,s speed and Peace Be With You and your family.

on march 7,2005 my brother, dewayne montgomery, was killed in a car accident. the thing about your story that really stuck with me is that my brothers birthday is 6-3-88, three days before wade's. we have done some of the same things that your family has in trying to keep his memory, his name alive. we have started a scholarship in his memory, and held benifits and other things to keep him alive. i'm not going to lie it hurt and it still hurts everytime we hear certain songs, read certain books, and drive by where it happened. had it not been for the support from all of his friends and our family we would have went nuts. after the accident happened we celebrated his 17th birthday and 3 days before the birthday party there was a white dove that was hanging around the house. any time my mother would come outside it would walk up to her and stay by her side. during the party that same white dove sat on top of the house watching and making sure that everything was going like it was supossed to. the day after the party the white dove left. we as a family like to believe that was dewayne. really the whole point of this is to tell you that you are not alone. if you would like you can e-mail me and i can give you the name of a group that really helped us out when we went through it. also i would like to give you my mothers e-mail address so that maybe she could maybe share how she has been able to get through the days without my brother. even if you chose not to respond thats ok but know that the offer is always open and if you ever need a friend to borrow a shoulder from let me know; i am the oldest of 12 with a lot of family and thats alot of shoulders. after this all happened someone told me "i cant tell you it gets better because it doesnt really, but with help from others its not so hard." i hope to hear from you, when something like this happens you need someone who actually knows what you are going through.

I don't even know how to express how I'm feeling about this tragedy. I find myself thinking about Wade and the whole incident every single day. It seems like no matter what I am doing at some point or another he crosses my mind. So many things left unsaid and so much confusion about what happened. Your family AMAZES me because I know that I am not that strong. Your family has to come together on this one and I see that you have. Seeing Jordan is almost like looking at Wade, hopefully he will grow to be just as successful. I love you Wade, please watch over me and be with me. Please watch over your own family and help them to see that you are still here and always will be.

I am so sorry for everyone's loss. I live in the southern part of Missouri and hadn't heard about this tragedy until today when I came up on it on amw.com. I just lost a little brother (15) in July and I know how much it means to me to receive a card or email from someone. I look forward to it and dread when the cards and calls stop coming. I just want to let the family know that Wade is still living on through everyone's memories and that he is still touching the hearts of people who never had the priveledge of meeting him.

To the Lurk family may God be with you. I met Wade a couple times and just in those few times i found out how amazing he was. He met me for the first time and just gave me a hug and started talking to me! He was and is an amazing person and is missed dearly. But you guys know all this. I just wanted you to know that i pray to him all the time to watch down on you guys and keep you safe. So may he always be with you in spirit! 
*To Wade i only met you a couple times but u r awesome. I wish that we could have spent more time together! Make sure that you are watching over your family they need you now more than ever!

I didn't know Wade or your family, but just as a mother to a mother I felt an ounce of your pain. I know I can't really know the pain you have been through but you guys were on my mind and my family's mind. We were concerned, and just know that there are still people out there to think about you!!! We will keep praying for peace to your family!!!!! God will keep giving your family strength.

You had the best sense of humor and i miss you so much.

Hi. I'm Jason Viox and I am a sportswriter for the Daily Journal newspaper in Park Hills. I was a friend of Wade. I know that it's somewhat old, but I wrote Valle's district game against Kelly and mentioned Wade in the story. I copied and pasted the web site address so you can check the story out if you like. I hope you enjoy it.

Just remembering... 



Dear Mike and Tina, 
It should be easy to write and say that your family is in my prayers often... and that if, I a stranger think and pray about you often then rest assured the people who love you most are doing it constantly... even though in time, you may not always know it or feel it. They are... we are keeping you close. And so there, I've said it... and it only took 3 months. 

I smile when I think of Wade... a young man I never met, because all the notes on this sight happily leave me with no other choice. What a superior young man... funny, giving, caring, a great big brother, a solid, loyal friend to many, a respectful grandson, a loving son with a great smile... a great laugh... who gave great hugs... crafted from loving, caring, giving parents. 

I think of Wade often. I pray for your family often... that you may find strength in keeping Wade close in your heart and knowing that he is keeping you even closer in his.

I cannot imagine the pain that resides in all of your hearts, and always will. All I can say is, know that you have people here in New York that pray your pain gets easier to bear. You're in our prayers and in our hearts. God Bless.

Well its going on 3 months since we lost Wade and it does not get easier. I sure miss his big smile and his big bear hugs. Wade was such a happy kid loving life. Wade we celebrated your 18th birthday 6-6-06 the day you looked so forward to, who would ever have thought you would not have been there. I know you are with us all the tme keeping a close eye on us, just wish you could be with us in person. I guess some day we will understand why.I know you are in a beautiful place where there are no worries. I am sure you have met up with your grandparents and a few cousins. Bet you have even played some poker by now. Well watch over all of us and give us the strength to go on when times are tough. Life is not easy. Help guide your friends in the right direction. Well until we meet again some day I LOVE and MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!Thank you to all of Wades friends for still keeping in touch. That really means alot to all of us. You are a great group of friends. Always keep Wade on your Mind and in your Heart. Love, Mom

I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am. I stumbled upon this story by accident and it breaks my heart. I too have a 19 year old son who I fear each time he leaves the house I will receive a phone call of terrible news. I'm praying for your pain. Time does ease some...but I know it never goes away.

Wade, 
It was your 18th birthday yesterday! We had a party with all your favorite food and we wanted to be happy, but it still didn't bring you back. I MISS YOU SO MUCH! Sometimes I think that I don't feel sad and I think I'm healing but it still hurts. It's always going to hurt. There will never be a day that I won't think of you. There will never be a day that I won't want to hug you. When you were missing, I was sure you'd be back. I couldn't wait to hear the stories you were going to tell us. I stared at your seat in Chemistry and waited for you to play footsies with me again, but it never happened. Sometimes the situation still hits me and I get shocked over and over. I can't believe you're gone. Of course you are in a better place now. This sounds horrible, but I know am not that scared to die because if I did I'd get to hang out with you. Remember when we had long talks on your hammock or in your room and we'd tell each other everything. . .actually you told me everything and I listened. . .remember how we always said we'd spend the night in the club house. . .well I finally did last night, with regan , allie, emily, katie, and brooke. WE got scared of the bugs, but we had fun. It would have been more fun with you there. I miss your corny comments and your giggle. I miss your advice and interesting thoughts. I missed you at school and I now I miss your weekly visits to my pool after you mowed lawns.It's interesting how everyone deals with your loss. Some people freak out when they're around anything of yours. Some get angry. Some hide their emotions when they are around me. I like it best when we remember happy moments of you. I like to look at pictures of you when you are the happiest. Wade, you were an amazing person on earth and your spirit is still amazing. You have touched so many people including myself. I admired your openness to be yourself and not give in to peer pressure. You wouldn't do something if you didn't want to. You set a great example. You lived your life so full. You were always doing something and you were always excited to do it which made other people excited for you. I feel blessed to have known you for 17 years. I couldn't have asked God for a better best friend. I truly cared about you and I feel a loss because you're not here. I miss you and you will always be remembered. I know I will see you again. Please wait for me.(cuz i'm begging you to be my escape) I love you so much Wade!

Tina, Mike, and Family, 

I have prayed every morning for you that God will give you strength today and everyday. 

Today I lit a candle as a reminder to keep you in my prayers all day, today, Wade's birthday. 

I pray you are feeling Wade's strength coming back to you. Our son, Eddie, lost a child 4 years ago. His name, Jeremiah Scout. I hope that he has connected with Wade. Maybe Wade can tell Scout about Valle Football and St. Genevieve. 

God Bless!

We were on a family vacation in St. Louis in April and visited St. Genevieve where we learned of Wade's disappearance. I was so very saddened to learn what had happened and Uncle Jim's words brought me to complete tears just now. As a Chistian mother of three adopted children, I have learned that our kids are not ours really. They are but on loan to us from our Heavenly Father for whatever days He has directed. To be sure, there is purpose in the gift of parenting our children and even greater purpose in their lives here on earth. I'm so very sorry you did not have more time with your son here on earth and I pray God will strengthen and uphold you each day as your hearts grieve and as you wait to see him again.

My son came to me a couple of weeks ago and asked if he could have a tattoo. I paused for a moment and asked him what he wanted to get but I was not prepared for his answer. He said that he wanted a cross on his shoulder with the letters SMBJR going down and WML going across using the same M on it. I asked him what did the WML stand for and he said Wade Michael Lurk. He told me that him and Wade were very close and this way Wade would always have his back. What could I say or do but help him draw it out without the puddles in my eyes smudging up the paper. I can't imagine what you all went through and I pray to God that I never have to find out, but I am thankful to know that Wade will always have Stephen's back.

I'm a mother of 3 young men. Two are grown, have graduated college and are now married. The oldest has a baby boy of his own. The youngest is 17 and a junior in high school soon to be a senior. The 17 year old plays soccer and that is how I came to know about Wade. I received an e-mail asking for people to be on the look out for Wade. So I forwarded it to as many people as I could including our oldest son who is a police officer in Austin, Texas. My sister-in-law works for a telephone company in the central Florida and she sent it to all who work with her! We had so many prayers out there for Wade and that he would be found safe and back home with his loving family. The news of his accident is so tragic, even for those of us who did not have the pleasure of knowing him personally. I just wanted to let the Wade's family know how truly saddened I am as well as so many others around the world!

I'm Very sorry that you could not spend more time with your son. The times that you did share are the most precious now.The morning i saw his face on the news i thought of my own son. I followed wades story and pryed to God every night to keep him safe. And when i heard they found his body I prayed again to bring your family peace and comfort and love. When you lose a child it is the worst feeling in the world,my son was killed,and although they have never caught who killed him i am glad that you were able to bring peace to your family knowing that hes not somewhere else. when i learned about this sight i thought i would let you know that you are not without wade because he will forever be with you in memories. Even though im sure you didnt need to have me tell you. Just remember to pray

Our hearts and prayers are with you. We know this is not the closure u wanted to have but WADE is in a better place now. And someday you guys will all see him again. And he will be the same person he always was. We didnt know him that well but everytime we did see him he always had a big smile on his face. He treated everyone with the respect they diserved. You guys have one more Guardian Angel up there in heaven in Wade, that is guideing you in the right direction. Graduation for the senior will not be the same without him but he is watching over them. Also he will be watching over them at prom and helping them make right decisions. He was deepley loved by all the people in the community and nobody could believe what happened. We all know he is in a better place now. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, 
Sincerely, Kellen Bader and Brett Shuh

To the Lurk Family, 
I send you my thoughts and prayers. I watched the news every day when I heard that Wade was missing. I go to school in Kentucky, but I graduated from Ste. Gen. last year. I could not believe it when my mom told me about Wade being missing. I called her every day for updates and prayed and hoped that he would be found. I was so sad when I learened the news of his death. I did not know Wade, but I have friends that are good friends with him. I am hoping to put together some t-shirts in memory of Wade to keep him alive in everyone's hearts. He will be truly missed by everyone.

Dear Wade, 

I hope you can see this in heaven because I really wanted to tell you how much everyone still misses you. We all think about you everyday, but we know that our chance to see you again is only just a matter of time away. Life is too short so we will savor the time we did get to spend with you and know that more chances will come in the afterlife. 

Tina, Mike, Brooke, and Jordan, 

I know this is a really hard time for all of you, but I want you to know that your family is in my prayers. We'll never forget Wade and the lives he touched. I just wish I could have gotten to know him better, but I'll always remember the times that I did get to spend with him. They were limited, but every second was worth my time. May God bless your family and help you through these tough and challenging times.

Family of Wade Lurk, 
I am so sorry to hear about your loss but he is in a better place. I may not have known you or Wade but I still feel really sad everytime I think about him. Before you found out about the accident I prayed every night for someone to find him. After we all new about the accident I paryed that he would come back. One of my friends who went to school with Wade and she said that the school is nothing like it use to be. He seemed like a nice kid by everything he wrote on his myspace page. 

Love Always,

I was touched by your son's story as I have a son the same age. My sister-in-law lost her brother to a tragic accident several years ago and I awoke the day of his funeral with this in my mind. I thought it appropriate to share it with you during your time of loss. May God keep you close. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. 

~ God Sent Us Down An Angel ~ 

God sent us down an angel 
But he could only stay a while 
Just long enough to touch our hearts 
With his laughter and his smile 
God sent us down an angel 
He knew he could not stay 
So he filled our minds with precious memories 
Which will never go away 
God sent us down an angel 
And although he’s gone back up above 
We will be forever thankful 
That he touched us with God’s love 
God sent us down an angel 
Do not weep because he’s gone 
For he’s back in the house of the Lord 
His life it does go on 
God sent us down an angel 
And we’ll meet again someday 
But it will be up in heaven 
Our angel’s gone ahead to light the way!

Mike,Tina,Brooke and Jordan 
Where can I begin to put in writing the feelings and words that I'd like to say? First of all, coming from myself and my family who are best friends with Tina and Mike, we are so blessed and we are so proud to be a part of this community. What a wonderful effort from this whole community!Whether it was help with the many search efforts, phone calls, cards, kind words and most of all YOUR MANY PRAYERS! I am very proud to say that we are from Ste Genevieve. 

To the Wilder family and the Lurk family-you began your children's faith as small children and you instilled the utmost importance of GOD and the faith you need to always have and that has been so obvious throughout this ordeal. Tina and Mike, as well as your other children, turned to their faith and our GOD and the Blessed Mary for strenght, love , guidance and support. So many would have turned against all of this with anger and because of their faith, this did not and will not happen.You deserve a huge acknowledgement for that!They are so lucky to have you as parents!Without their strong faith, this story would not be the same. 
Tina and Mike, 
I never in a million years would have thought we'd be where we are today with you. We have discussed lately the ups and downs at our age that we are probably going to go thru together and how we are so not looking forward to those times. This is not something we ever even discussed - who would have ever thought any of us would have to deal with the loss of a child. I want you to know that we are here for you any time of any day for whatever you may need. Our sadness for you and your family will never be gone. Our support and love for your family will never be gone. Our respect and love for Wade(he was like our own)will never be gone. He has, in his short stay with us, touched so many lives, young and old. Those younger looked up to him, those his age loved and respected him, those older adored him. On the saddest day of your life almost has to be one of the proudest moments. The people that waited 1-2 hours in line at church to pay their respects and ones who came to the funeral-it was a truly amazing sight and it makes you realize the love that Wade has spread around and all the good things he did. I think that he has done so many great things-more than many adults have. He will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will always love him. May God and Mary continue to give you the strength to carry on your lives. Your lives will NEVER be the same and neither will many others. We love you! 
(Your strength is inspirational to so many) 

Brooke and Jordan, 
Our hearts go out to you each and every day-we love you like our own so if there's anything we can do to help out-just let us know. Let your very own guardian angel guide you to do whats right and let him lead you down the right path-he will always be there for you.We love you! 

Wade's friends: 
You have been through a very tramatic time in your lives-PLEASE learn from this and make the right choices-PARENTS-PLEASE pay attention to your children-don't let them grow up too fast!Mike and Tina knew where Wade was at all times.Can you honestly say that about your children? BE THE ADULT-give a curfew and STICK to it.Mike and Tina did! May we all learn from this horrible experience as parents, friends, and kids. Wade was an extraordinary kid that loved life everyday and fullfilled himself with that life everyday. Who else can say that? Much love and continued support from our family to yours-LOVE YOU ALL

I also know hat it feels like to loose someone so close to you. My Mother died when I was seven I had to look at it as she was looking out for me, like she was my gardian angle even though she was there for me then now she is with me every where 
Wade is doing the same for you. He will never leave you he is always ther in your hearts, I know you have probablly heard this many times by now but it is very true. 

God bless all of you. 

P.S. 
It is great to see you at school again Jordan and Brooke

Please give us all the strength to get through this. Please help Taylor to get his life in place and to have what he wants, I know you know what's going on. So, only you and God can help us now. I miss you so much and I think about you everyday. I still call your phone daily, I guess I just don't get it. But, I love you so much, and I hope you get through to all those boys. Please help us down here. I love you and I miss you like you wouldn't believe. I LOVE YOU!!!

This poem came to me in an email and I thought I would just share it. My thoughts and prayers are with the Lurk Family. 


"If tomorrow starts without me, 
and I'm not there to see, 
if the sun should rise and find your eyes 
all filled with tears for me; 

I wish so much you wouldn't cry 
the way you did today, 
while thinking of the many things, 
we didn't get to say. 

I know how much you love me, 
as much as I love you, 
and each time that you think of me, 
I know you'll miss me too. 

But when tomorrow starts without me, 
please try to understand, 
that an angel came and called my name, 
and took me by the hand, 

And said my place was ready, 
in heaven far above, 
and that I'd have to leave behind 
all those I dearly love. 

But as I turned to walk away, 
a tear fell from my eye, 
for all my life, I'd always thought, 
I didn't want to die. 

I had so much to live for, 
so much left yet to do, 
it seemed almost impossible, 
that I was leaving you. 

I thought of all the yesterdays, 
the good ones and the bad; 
I thought of all that we shared, 
and all the fun we had. 

If I could relive yesterday, 
just even for a while, 
I'd say goodbye and kiss you 
and maybe see you smile. 

But then I fully realized, 
that this could never be, 
for emptiness and memories, 
would take the place of me. 

And when I thought of worldly things, 
I might miss come tomorrow, 
I thought of you, and when I did, 
my heart was filled with sorrow. 

But when I walked through heaven's gates, 
I felt so much at home, 
when God looked down and smiled at me, 
from His great golden throne, 

He said, "This is eternity, 
and all I've promised you." 
Today your life on earth is past, 
but here life starts anew. 

I promise no tomorrow, 
but today will always last, 
and since each day is the same way, 
there's no longing for the past. 

You have been so faithful, 
so trusting and so true, 
though there were times you did some things, 
you knew you shouldn't do. 

But you have been forgiven, 
and now at last you're free. 
So won't you come and take my hand, 
and share my life with me? 

So when tomorrow starts without me, 
don't think we're far apart, 
for every time you think of me, 
I'm right here, in your heart " 

May God watch over you and your family now and always. 
There is no right time to do the wrong thing. 
There is no wrong time to tell someone you care.

I a very sorry for your loss. It was very tagic ending to a very intense few weeks. I want to tell Tina that after seeing you interview countless times with multiple newscasters it never ceased to amaze me how much composure and true to the issue at hand you were. You are a true inspiration to all mothers who suffer any kind of loss of any child. I know I hug my baby just a little tighter each night knowing how quickly he could be taken from me. May god keep filling your heart with peace.

I've spent the past several minutes reading many of the notes from various people across the country. I'm so touched. It's obvious to me that Wade was an Angel here on Earth long before he was called to Heaven. 

May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you, and give you peace. 

God Bless,

I look at your picture and your myspace account Wade, and I think about my high school days in Ste. Gen. I think about all the drunken party's and all the times i drove home drunk. 

I think about all the awesome wonderful people that slipped away around me, my family and my loved ones...Carl, Steve, Sara... and it makes me realize everyday that saying I love you is the most important thing in this world. 

"I love you" 

So simple to say but goes so far.

We can't begin to thank enough our family, friends and even complete strangers who have shown us so much love and support these past few weeks. Wade's wake and funeral were absolutely beautiful. Even though we'll miss him terribly, I think his death has brought out so much good. Wade touched more lives in 17 years than most people do in 70 years. 

It's difficult to describe the sadness that we feel, but at the same time we are comforted by knowing that we have a special angel in Heaven looking out for us. 

I am so proud of Tina and Mike. My most fervent prayer was for God to give them the strengh they needed. Their faith and courage were an inspiration for us all. I can truly accept that there is a reason for Wade's death that we can't understand. But that doesn't take away the pain. 

Brooke and Jordan, know that we are here for you with all our love. 

Again, thank you so much for your kindness.

Dearest Lurk family, 
We have followed this tragic story from the beginning and I have prayed and prayed for Wade and your family. We are so very sorry for you loss and we will continue to pray for peace and strength for your family. Wade will not be forgotten. From everything I have read or heard about him, I have heard nothing negative. Wow, what an extraordinary person he was and what an extraordinary legacy he has left. I never met Wade but my husband and I both work and McDonald's and my husband waited on him a time or two and said that he was a very quiet and polite kid. My husband and I have one son who is 18 months old and we both were blessed to find each other but we never anticipated the most awesome love that we would feel when our son was born. It is a love that will take your breath away. I cannot imagine how it feels to lose a child but I want you to know that you're family is loved and that i know that Wade will always be with you all. My husband and I were talking about Wade yesterday and he told me about a childhood friend of Wade's and how Wade affected him. He said that when he moved to this town that Wade went to his mother and told her that "If your son needs a friend or someone to play with then you call me, oh and I also have a bike that he can ride." How powerful that story was to me. What a caring, giving, loving person he was. Not the typical teenager. I know that I don't know you or your family but I just had to share my feelings with you. I wish you comfort and many many blessings.

I never met Wade, but I have met many great high school kids who are outstanding indivduals with bright futures who do make mistakes, which doesn't make them any less of an individual it only makes them human. It makes me think of the song from the Dukes of Hazard "Were just good ole' boys, never meaning no harm........." It truly is a horrific tragedy. Oh, what a tear jerking, goose-bump giving terrible sad story. I am so sorry for the family, I know that the pain is uncompairable to anything else in this world. It is almost like you have no emotion until you have children. I know that After giving birth 3 months ago. I hope that everyone will learn something from this. and instead of thinking of the would of beens and moments missed out on remember all those great days you had wade in your life. How lucky everyone was to know such an amazing spirit

To Wade and your family. I write to you Wade because although you are not here physically I'm sure you are here. To your family I write this note to let you know that I too lost a brother, under different circumstances 14 years ago. I also lost a brother several years before the last one. I can tell you this, from my experience the pain does not go away, although with time it seems to lessen "a bit at a time". 

Time does not heal all wounds, it is what you do in the time that heals the wounds. In my experience with the loss of my brothers, each years apart I can tell you that I have had to go thru the Seasons of life as it were. It took me thru the first year of the loss, every season, every holiday, birthday, special days and Christmas. It can be difficult. It can also be reflective. I call it 'anticipatory greiving' meaning I anticipated and grieved the loss of not only what was, but what would never be. This can be very difficult, the tears will fall, and that's okay. You will cry for what appears to be no reason at all, when in fact it may have been a song you heard that made you think of Wade, or a child you see laughing on the street, like he did when he was younger, or even a grown up young man maybe just a little older, that you wish he would have been able to make it to that age. 

I believe that when our work is done here our soul leaves, no matter how or when. It can be difficult because we think that his work was not done here, no one but God and Wade know for sure. 

A friend of mine says that everyone in our live, and anyone who touches it falls into one of three catagories. They are here for a reason, a season or a lifetime. 

Wade was here for a reason for many of you in this family. He was hear for a season for others, as I read some of the notes I see he was here to make others happy, even being Santa at Christmas. What a great memory for those he did that for to have and cherish! 

Most of all he is here for a lifetime for his family and friends, because it was his lifetime, no matter the years, and he will always be here in your hearts and minds and that will keep him here for the lifetime, his and yours. 

God bless all of you in this difficult time. You will not get 'over this' you will get through it with the help of God, your friends and Wade's spirit that will always be with you. Trust me when I say that there are times when I feel the presence of that gentle spirit of my brothers and it is a comfort to me that cannot be described, and it will be for you also. 

Thoughts and prayers, 
Kerry Aldridge

May God bless and keep you in this time of need. We know Wade is looking down on you from above and will help see you through. 

God bless you all.

Dearest Tina 

You don't know me. I saw your web site and had to write to you. I know what you are going through and my heart and soul goes out to you! I wanted to let you know (as a mom) I understand your pain and I wish I could give you a big hug right now and take that horriable sorrow away! 
My son was stabbed to death 3 days before Christmas. So I know what you are going through! The shock and disbelief at this time is beyond any words!!!. It is such a dark and lonely place you are in now. 
But Please know Wade would not want you to be sad. Let his sprit go to the light so he will be at peace.Tell him to Go to God! Once Wade has reached the other side, talk to him! You will recieve validation that he is fine and in a better place waiting for you to greet him some happy day! 
I talk to my son daily and I feel his love around me always!! That is one thing that can never be taken from us ever!!! 
Please take care of your self at this time and know some day we will be reunited with our beloved sons forever! 
God Bless you and your family!

As a parent, I can't imagine the pain you are feeling now. I've been following Wade's story from the beginning and have prayed continously for his return. Your son has touched so many people in so many different ways. I purchased the Relient K cd because of Wade, what a powerful message this music holds. I can't imagine how powerful Wade was and how his life touched so many. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. May God wrap his arms around you and hold you tight.

If you're lonely 
And need a friend 
And troubles seem like 
They never end 
Just to remember to keep the faith 
And love will be there to light the way 

Anytime you need a friend 
he will be here 
You'll never be alone again 
So don't you fear 
Even if you're miles away 
he's by your side 
So don't you ever be lonely 
Love will make it alright 

When the shadows are closing in 
And your spirit diminishing 
Just remember you're not alone 
And love will be there 
To guide you home 

Anytime you need a friend 
he will be here 
You'll never be alone again 
So don't you fear 
Even if you're miles away 
he's by your side 
So don't you ever be lonely 
Love will make it alright 

If you just believe in him 
he will love you endlessly 
Take his hand 
Take him into your heart 
he'll be there forever 
he won't let go 
he'll never let go 

Anytime you need a friend 
he will be here 
You'll never be alone again 
So don't you fear 
Even if you're miles away 
he's by your side 
So you will never be lonely 
he's alright

Dear hole family, (please read this) 

oh dear this did not end the way i thought it would, but you know what? It ended the way jesus wanted it to. Whitch that is the way you always go. Jesus probeley saw how good of a person he is and said "dang we get him now, he can cheer me up with that shining smile and his personality that just jumps out and grabs you! He can make each one of my days better!" I am almost positive that that is what he said. You guys know that he is still here no matter what happens. He is reading all of these wonderfull messages that everyone is typing for him and he is just smileing to all of these wonderfull people! You guys know that and even i know that. So i would say to you sorry for your lost, but why? When HE IS STILL HERE!I know you guys will make it through this cause you are the strongest family i have ever seen in my whole life. Just know that you all are still in me and moms heart everyday, no matter what. 

Love ya, Natalie Lalumandier

We are so very sorry for your loss. We don't know you, but we know your son was very loved. He will always be your Guardian Angel, his spirit will always be with you, and hopefully he will watch over his friends and family so that noone else will make the same mistake.

I very deeply sorry for your loss... I too have lost my son Dustin Husch in January 2005... 
He had been drinking, that night he and his friend apparently were driving very fast... he drove straight into a tree, killing him. 

He was my only son, I miss him terribly, and feel for you.. Someday, I would like to meet with you, and try to mend our hearts. 

dustin too had hundreds of friends and so many happy stories were told by his friends. 

Thank you, thinking of you... Valerie Voney

To the Lurk Family: I am so sorry for the nightmare you have gone through, I too have teenagers and have the constant worry when they are not home on time. Wade's loss makes me, and I'm sure thousands of other parents hug and hold their kids a little longer when they go out. I live in California and recieved an email from Wade's uncle ( the soccer one) I'm sorry, I don't have his name anymore, but his email did get passed around so much that even out here in L.A., we were thinking about Wade. tonight I will share his story with my own family and keep his memory alive out here. I would have really enjoyed meeting him, he sounds like he was a real great guy.

This must be the hardest time of all your lifes. Wade was a great guy and had a bright smile that could make you laugh when you didnt even want to smile. He's in a better place now and is watcghing over us all. I feel numerous sympathy for your family and I havent stopped praying. Wade wouldn't want us to dwell over him, so we have to go on and lead our lifes. But wade would want to be remembered. And he will be. He's forever in our hearts and prayers. I hoped he would have been brought back safe but now you don't have to worry anymore beacause he is with the greatest person on earth, God. Just remember that Wade has company up in heaven. Him and Dylan will make some good things happen. Don't think of this as an ending...but a new beginning of life Wade's life with Jesus. May God bless you in your time of need. Forever you'll be in my prayers. And remember, we WILL see him again someday. Keep strong, don't give up, and be true to yourself. Forever in my prayers.....

Dear Lurk family, 

Thank you so much for sharing Wade's life with our youth ministry programs, especially the weekend before his accident. I am so honored that Wade considered me one of his friends. The reason he stands out for so many was so clear to me. He was an individual and at the same time took into consideration and believed things that others told him that were good. That is why he was on the misson weekend with us, because you encouraged his faith and service and he trusted you, through your love for him, that these events would be good for him. 

Wade shared with us his favorite time of the weekend - Reconciliation and Adoration. He was open to joining others in praising God. He wrote that weekend: "Everybody looks the same on the outside, but their hearts are different." Wade knew he was in charge of his heart and he took care to know that it was something that would make both his heavenly and earthly parents proud. 

Personally, my heart breaks for the loss of him on our earth . . . and it sings for him living forever in a better place. 

Our continued prayers as we learn to live a new way, 
Shirley

Mike & Tina, Brooke & Jordan, 
We may have said our farewell to Wade's physical presence on Earth with us yesterday, but not his spirit. That part of him will remain in everyone's hearts that know you & Wade, and apparently in a lot of people that don't. If there is ANY good in such a tragedy, it is an awareness for other kids that bad things can and do happen -- to watch out for each other, because as much as we'd like to, we parents can't protect you 24-7. Our kids were definitely affected, and I pray that they remember as they get older. 

Please know that every person in that church was wishing they could've taken just a piece of the pain away from you. Our love, friendship & prayers are all we can offer. 

Stay strong!

Dear Lurk Family, 

I never met your son, but I feel I know him from all the loving messages I have seen about him. He was obviously a great young man. I have worried about him and cried for him and your family many times. I have been visiting Ste. Genevieve for many years and have extended roots in the area. I love the people in Ste Genevieve even more now for the support they have given your family. 

I am the father of two teenagers and a Boy Scout leader so I am always around youth. The other evening after seeing the sad news and hearing the sheriff's report, I had a very good discussion about drinking with my teens. And I will work that discussion into one of the meetings with the scouts. Through Wade's terrible death, he is helping others learn about the effects of underage drinking and through this; he will certainly save other lives. 

My family's thoughts and prayers are with you. 

God Bless you all. Rest in Peace, Wade.

There are no words to discribe how we feel about this devistating event. There are no words that can be said that has not been said by others. My family is very close and feel each others pain when a bump in the road hits us. The prayer of god has helped us through many obsticles (including a grandaughter that was given a 10% Chance of living). She is fine now. 

To try to help the only way we know how is through prayer. I am going to put you, Tina, Jordan, and Brook on a prayer list through my sisters church in Festus. I am not the most religous man in the world but my belief in God is strong. At times I still say my prayers at night and tonight is one of those nights.

I am a colleague and close friend of your cousin, Tracy Rowe. I just wanted you all to know that a number of teachers here at Sollars Elem. in Misawa, Japan meet daily before school in prayer and that you are number one in our prayers during this difficult time. We are so sorry for the loss of your wonderful son, Wade. From everything that Tracy has told me and from what I've read, he was a bright light in this world. I pray that God sends an army of His guardian angels to surround you and lift you up in this dark hour. Please know that you are prayed for at this very moment. 
God bless you today and always,

I graudated from St. Vincent's in Perryville in 2004 and am now attending Missouri State University. Just like Wade, I went to Steubenville conferences throughout high school and help out with the VMY when I'm home for breaks. Although I never met Wade, I've been praying for him and for your family. What happened to him could have happened to me or any of my friends in high school and I hate that your family must go through this. I will continue to pray for all of you. Wade would have loved it here at Missouri State, and I'm sorry that this University will never get a chance to benefit from his presence. May St. Joseph, patron of the Christian family, watch over you, protect you, and guide you. 
In Christ,

You must be so very proud of Wade. He has touched so many lives in such a powerful way. We will all miss him very much. 

Today, we were all trying to pick out our favorite memories of Wade. I know now that it is not possible to pick just one. Every memory of Wade has become my favorite. Please know that you and Wade will always be in my prayers and that Wade will never be forgotten by those blessed with the chance to know your wonderful son and brother.

Our sincerest sympathy to Wade's family and friends. "The ones we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories do not fade because a loved one's gone.The ones we love can never be more than a thought apart, and as long as there is memory they will live on in the heart."

I'm honor to be able to say that I knew Wade Michael Lurk. Let me just say how much I already miss him, from his silly little voicemail's he would leave me to his goofy little things he would say to me. But I know for sure that he love his family very much. He sure did make the city pool fun. Great lifeguard! I'll miss seeing that huge smile at the community center. But stay strong brooke, jordan, mike, tina & anyone else who knew wade. He would want us to move on. I never seen a whole town and even other community's so upset over someone, wade touched all of us he is the greatest person, sweetest, anything good you can say about someone is what i think about when you say wade lurk, nothing bad only good. I'm just upset he couldnt graduate with his class i know he was looking forward to it and also college. I know he really just wanted to grow up and go to college get married have a family of his own. He is just so amazing. I just can't get over this whole thing, i know for sure i will always think twice before anything i ever do anything i will never want my family and friends to go threw what you all are going through..I will never forget wade lurk!

I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to Wade's family and friends. Losing someone is never easy and the circumstances of Wade's death were so tragic. I'm glad that some closure was achieved for his family by finding him and knowing he's with God in Heaven. I prayed throughout the search and I will continue to pray. I know his death has made a great impact on his community and it has touched many other communities such as mine. I don't think you had to know Wade personally to be able to tell he was a kind and energetic soul. That was apparent by looking at a picture of him, reading his myspace page, or seeing how many people wanted to lend their help and time to find him. May God along with all of these wonderful messages offer you comfort in the coming days. I hope we can all live by Wade's words, "You only get one chance to live your life, so live it the way you want to. Enjoy every second of it and never look back about past mistakes but only thinking ahead to waking up to a new and better tomorrow."

TO EVERYONE 



I hope and pray that the people who found Wade’s car is satisfied with knowing they helped the whole community by keeping a look out for Wade’s car while fishing. I personally think that the men who found the car should not take the “REWARD” money. The family has been through enough, this “REWARD” money is coming from their pockets I’m sure. Let the family endure no more worries. If the money is taken the community should come together once again for the family.

I just wanted to tell you that I love you and that I am so sorry for your loss. Today Wade showed you and all of us just how much he impacted this town by being the caring, generous, and outgoing man that he was. Wade has single-handedly brought this town together to help us remember how important family and friends are. Your son is someone truly to be proud of both then and now. I can speak for my entire family in saying that we love you and your family and want to express our deepest sympathies for the loss of your truly wonderful son, Wade.

Mr. and Mrs. Lurk 
You two have to be the strongest people I know. Dealing with this in the way that you have by sticking to your faith has shown me to never give up and always see the bright side. I dont know what it would be like to loose a son but when I think of my two brothers and my little sister I don't know what I would do if something would happen to them. I know your family is strong and I wish you all my luck and prayers. 

Wade was one of the sweetest/nicest guys I know. I went to Steubenville with him the two years that we went and he was so much fun to be with. (He attracted all the ladies ) When we were able to just hang out he would always pull out his guitar and play for everyone. He was always neat to talk to, but I think what was so unique about him was his brightining smile and his faith. When Wade smiled he lit up the room. Every time I would walk up those community center stairs he would always say hello and smile! You both did a wonderful job at raising him. 

I know that Wade is with our Lord in Heaven watching over all of us with Dylan at his side. And one day we will all be with him again to see that beautiful smile. 

Keep strong... we are all here for you. 

Sincerely, 
Katelin Drury

This was such a tragic thing to happen to any family. I lost a brother to an automobile accident when I was 14 and he was 16. His car was hit by someone who failed to yield and my brother lived for about 9 hours after the accident. Somehow my parents, myself and my siblings got over the shock but the pain never goes away. My prayers will be with your family and for Wade. I didn't know Wade but I understand he was a very special person.

You will be in my prayers, especially when the line of people has dwindled and you need a hug.

To the family of Wade Lurk, 

I did not know Wade, I just heard about the story on the news and just wanted to send my deepest sympathy for the family and friends at this time. I was one of those people hoping and praying for a good outcome to the story, and was heartbroken at the result. I would just like to offer a few words, stay strong and call the name of Jesus. Just call his name. I know it seems cliche' and its hard for you to take heed to the common words of common people, but i myself had to endure a similar tragedy in 2004 and hes the only one who can and will see you through. God has a reason for everything and you may not understand that reason right now, but Wade is not gone in vain. Please stay strong, please seek the word of God to help you through. If you read his book He has an answer for every issue we go through in life, including death. I know youre still in the stage of shock, but still, Seek him and he shall keep you through. God Bless..

I looked at Wade's myspace today and I cried for a wonderful boy. I have an 18 year old daughter and I couldn't even imagine what pain you may be going through right now. You are all so blessed to have had such a wonderful son and blessed to have wonderful memories. Those memories will get you through this and you will begin to smile when you think of them. I feel I know him from his myspace sight and I would love to have known him in person. When asked who said they loved him last, you will always remember that he said you and that is something to treasure. He was awesome!

When I heard the news I was very heart broken. I am so sorry that this didn't have a better ending. As difficult as it is I am glad that you have closure and no longer have to wonder. 

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lurk Family, 
A couple of my friends knew Wade, and they have had only amazing things to say about him. I wish I could have met him because he most definitely and obviously made such a profound impact on so many lives it is truly incredible. I know that God knows how much better Wade has made heaven, no doubt about it. He is so blessed to have such an amazing angel watching out for your family and the rest of the world. I will continue to pray that with Wade and all of the other angels in heaven by His side, God will help you through this time. Your family is forever in my heart through many thoughts and prayers. 

Love,

I know that anything said can't ease the pain or bring Wade back, but it can assure you that your family is extremely loved by everyone in this town and across the country. I know that while Wade was on this earth, he served God to the fullest and he is now getting his reward in Heaven. I hope the teenagers in this community use Wade as an example and start loving and caring about people as much as he did.

As locals here we have followed this very closely with prayers every night. I was so shocked coming home to hear the breaking news. I am so sorry for your lost. I have been there with a grand daughter and know the lost and empty feeling. But Wade will always be with you in your hearts and the tons of wonderful memories you have to share with everyone. 

Bless you all, keep you safe and help you all get thru this time.

To all the dear people who loved Wade, especially his caring family - 

We grieve with you at the loss of Wade's precious life on earth, but rejoice in his eternal life with Christ. Imagine how many lives were changed as they fell to their knees in prayer for Wade, perhaps even giving their life to Christ. Your faith and witness has been an inspiration to all. May you find peace and strength in Jesus as you take it one day at a time. God bless and love you.

I'm so sorry about what happened. I heard about it from a friend and looked at the web site. He sounds like he was a really nice person. It's always sad when these things happen. God will help you through.

To all of Wade's family, 

Wade will forever be in our hearts and memories. From the kindness that he shown to Ryan through football seasons past and to the current baseball season. Wade was very kind and giving of both his time and his friendship. He gave Ryan coutless rides to and from the field as some of the upperclassmen would do. However Wade never harrassed them about it. 

Gary will remember his conversations with Wade fondly about how to play Santa. The what to do's and not to do's. He lloked so cute at Breakfast with Santa. 

And me, I will remember him as the boy who made everyone laugh. He showed kindness to my family when it wasn't necessary. And Tried something out side the box, which makes he stand out from the crowd. 

Your family will be in your thoughts and prayers. And please know that we will always be available to you for whatever the need. 

Gary, Sara, Ryan, Chelsea 
and Owen Roth

Dear Mike, Tina, Brooke and Jordan 
Amelia was very saddended by Wade's disappearance and much more so by the tragic ending. Wade has been thought of often since he went missing, now we know he was never missing at all, just followed the angels home to his Father in Heaven. Though his time on this earth was cut short, he seems to have left a lasting impression in the hearts of many and will be missed for a long time to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you begin this new step in your journey and say goodbye to your son and brother. May he rest in peace.

As parents ourselves, we just wanted to extend our heartfelt sadness and condolences for the Lurk family. We do not know you or your son, but heard of this through our soccer team. We are so, so, sorry to hear of this tragic outcome for your son. What a handsome boy - what promise and potential. We pray that the Lord will sustain you through this incredibly difficult time. Please remember that all things work for the good for them who love God and are the called according to His purpose. Something wonderful will emerge from this pain and sorrow. I have no idea what it could be, but it will nonetheless.

Our most heartfelt prayers and sympathy are with the family of Wade. I knew him just a little from working at Eric Scott, and he was the type of kid that every parent would want: outgoing, personable, responsible, and cute as could be. Mike & Tina, you should be proud to be the parents of such a fine young man. May God hold you in the palm of His Hand during this most difficult time. You will continue to be in our prayers.

Dear Mike and Tina and Family 
My husband Carl and I and Tonya and her husband are so very sorry to hear about Wade. Tonya said that Wade was her "adopted little brother" at Valle when he started kindergarten. She remembers it well. He was so sweet. I know that he was a great kid, because my brother Paul, and Trish talked highly of him and of you. Our prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time. Remember, God does not put any more on you than you can handle.

Do not stand at my grave and weep. 
I am not there. I do not sleep. 
I am a thousand winds that blow. 
I am the diamond glints on snow. 
I am the sunlight on ripened grain. 
I am the gentle autumn rain. 
When you awaken in the morning’s hush, 
I am the swift uplifting rush 
Of quiet birds in circling flight. 
I am the soft star that shines at night. 
Do not stand at my grave and weep. 
I am not there. I do not sleep. 

Your family is in my prayers. May God ease your pain and let Wade continue to be a guiding light in your life. The Lord bless you and keep you in this difficult time.

To the Lurk family: 
I do not know you or Wade but I have a 17 year old son who I thought of while watching the news the last few weeks. I also lost a 16 year old brother 17 years ago who drowned at the Off Sets. I can feel your pain and your loss and though it will lessen, it never truly goes away. Just remember to cherish every moment that you did have with Wade and think of him everyday. He is truly in a better place now.

Mike and Tina- 
I have watched this terrible ordeal play out through the eyes for Wade's good friend and classmate. I sat for hours while Regan kept asking me "Mom, where is he?" and all i could say it that I didn't know but to keep praying that all would work out. Regan called Wade everyday on his cell so that when he returned he would know that she never gave up the hope of his safe return. Regan loved Wade and she and the rest of our family will miss him terribly. He was a great kid and will truly be missed. We have your family in our prayers.

Wade was so lucky to have such great parents and such a wonderful family. Wade was one of a kind.......he had a smile for everybody and that smile will always be embedded in the hearts of many. It's hard to understand why bad things happen to good people....we have to trust in God on that one! Your family, friends, and faith will get you through this ....I will continue to keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lurk Family, 

My heart breaks for you and for your loss. Wade was such a sweet guy. He was very friendly to me for the two days I was near him. It's really hard for me to believe that he's gone. 

I realize that you don't know me, but I attended Sophomore Pilgrimage with Wade. I'll always remember him as a sweetheart. 

I wish that I could attend his funeral tomorrow, but Ste. Genevieve is quite far away from Malden. I guess I'll just have to be content with a prayer for God to give you that "peace that passeth all understanding." God bless you.

Mother of 2 in Scottsdale,AZ 



As a child I used to love going to Ste. Genevieve with my family. Something about this small town and the people who live there... just warms your heart. Both sides of my family were born and raised there (the Winters' and the Hucks') My aunt Carol, my moms only sister, died in a tragic car accident when she was very young...way before her time. I remember, although i was quite small , all the people that called and wrote and came to see our family...the outpouring of love and prayers and support from the community was incredible. It truely helped our family through what could only be described as the lowest point in our lives. It's incredible to see this support system again for Wade and his family from the people of Ste. Gen and surrounding communities . Although I live further away now, I return every year with my children to show them what in my mind, is a little slice of heaven here on earth..the town and the peaople of Ste. Genevieve. 

I did not know you Wade. However, I've sat here for hours and read and cried for you and your family. we all know you are in a safe place but my heart still breaks for you and the people who are going to miss seeing you grow into the the person we all know you would have become. be well and know you'll be missed by many. 
To the Lurk Family ...I have no way to put into words what i'm feeling for you now....You will be in my thoughts and prayers always.

Lurk Family, 
I just wanted to express my hurt for your family. I have been praying for your family since I heard, and will continue to pray for God's healing of your pain. Though I do not know your family, I feel close to you. I too am Catholic and have many times been down to St. Genevieve to stay at the Drury's lake (friends of the family). Your loss has really hit me hard and I can't imagine the pain you're going through. I'm so sorry you have to feel the pain with Our Mother Mary of losing a son. You're family will continue to be in my prayers. 

May God Bless you and the Blessed Mother help you through this pain.

From one parent who has suffered the loss of a child to another I know there are no words to truly comfort, no words to ease the pain. Hearing "he is in a better place" or "It was God's will" is not what brings you peace. We know that they are in the Lords presence but we selfishly wish them here, we ask for one more moment with them that would never be enough. The journey you are going to travel now is a difficult road, at times you take a few steps forward and several more back but know that you are not alone and with the love and support of your family, friends and faith in God you will awaken to a brighter day with happy thoughts of Wade. God bless you and your family in your time of need.

A small boy looked at the star and began to weep. 
The star said, "boy, why are you weeping?" 
And the boy said, "you are so far away, I will never be able to touch you." 
And the star answered, "boy, if I were not already in your heart, you would not be able to see me." 

The memories you have of Wade will forever be in your hearts and he will live on through you and everyone that he has touched.

Wade, buddy, see you at the crossroads, the pool wont be the same without you, but know that i will still use the lifeguard tubes as a guitar, and hopefully you will get to see me play "Sugar, We're Going Down", like we used to. Thanks for all the good times man.

Hi. I am just writing because of all the heartache and pain I have felt for your family in the past 2 weeks. Along with my own. You see I lost my cousin in the same manner as you lost your son. I wanted so badly to call and tell them to search that lake more. The accident with RJ my cousin happened in the same way.......he was partying with his friends at a lake that was the last he was seen....he was missing for 2 days and someone had spotted the antenae of his truck sticking out of the water. Rj was was young 21. I hurt for him still everyday. I hope that your family is able to come to peace with the situation. 
Your family is in my prayers.....With deepest Sympathy......Nikki Moore

In just these 2 weeks, I have become attached to this "Case" after reading Wade's myspace, which showed what a wonderful young man he was. When I first read that they found him and saw the pictures of his car, my heart dropped to my feet. I dont even know him,yet I wish I could revive him because he did not deserve to die..but he is with God and at least he can rest in peace now. Even now, just looking at his pictures and all the news articles, I ask myself why this had to happen. Especially to an individual like Wade. Your family is in my prayers. RIP Wade Lurk

I am very sorry to hear about Wade. I didn't really know him personally, but he's a person who many did know. I have seen just a handful of the lives that his has touched in the last couple of weeks. It's amazing how much one life means to so many others. It's that way for all of us really. Wade's life was precious and meaningful in more ways than we may ever know. I just pray that God's peace and comfort would rest down on everyone who's missing a piece of them at this time. My prayers are for you guys. Wade had a great family and friends. Keep doing what you do and that's simply show love.

Dear Lurk Family, 
I can’t imagine what you’ve been through these last couple of weeks, and I can’t imagine what it feels like to lose such a truly special son, but I think I speak for the mass majority of our town when I say that you are in our prayers. I can’t say that I was BEST friends with Wade, but I know him well enough to know just how amazing he was. I’ll never forget Wades “award-winning” smile, or his funny sense of humor! Wade has left countless cherished memories with many people here in Ste. Gen, may it be with friends or family. I’m glad that Wade was found so that your family, and this small town can have some sense of closure. I can’t describe the sadness that I’ve witnessed since Wades been missing, but I think our town has made it very evident that Wade is a very outstanding person, and will be greatly missed! Stay Strong!

We can't begin to imagine how you must feel. We are terribly sorry for your lose. We feel your pain. You have a very strong family with great faith that will guide you through this horrible tragedy. 

Through the week's we've followed Wade's story close and feel like we've really gotten to know him. He was an amazing kid. He has touched the life's of so many people. My dad said he saw Wade at the community center alot and Wade never failed to go out of his way to say hi. He was a very special young man. His memory will live on forever. 

Wade is with Dillon now....they are both smiling down on you all. I pray God will give you peace knowing this was all just part of God's plan. We will continue to pray for your entire family as the struggles continue for months to come. 

Love and God Bless you all!

I can only imagine your pain, but I'm sure it is the worst you've ever suffered. We love our children, try our best to protect them, and yet sometimes despite everything we've taught them they make the wrong decision. Cling to each other now and try to take some small comfort from your memories of Wade. Continue to speak his name to keep some part of him alive. It is a tragedy and I grieve for your family even though we never met. I followed the story and hoped desperately for a different outcome. I'm so sorry.

Its such a tragic loss for this family. I may have only met Wade a few times but I certainly remembered him.He impacted me and many others with his amazing personality.Just know that he is above us right now watching us. He is having a good time walking right next to the lord. We will all meet again soon. Celebrate the times and memories we all have with him and know that he was a great person. To all the friends and family, you were all lucky people to know and love Wade Micheal. Pray for this family and allow them to be able to be at ease finally. Its hard to lose a loved one, but you have to remember its not forever goodbye, just until we meet again. Lacey Moore

There are no words from me at this time that could take away the pain and loss you have endured, just know that as I have followed Wade's story I have seen an amazing family with a faith and love that will keep you strong now. I only remembered Wade's pictures from the mirror at your shop Tina when he was just a little guy....WOW what a handsome young man, and from what I hear, he was as sweet and good as he was handsome...I'm so sorry he's gone from your life, but I know he wil live forever in the hearts of those who loved him, and I know that his engaging smile will be forever in your eyes....My deepest sympathy and most heartfelt prayers are with you at this time.

But we do have to have faith in god. Wade is greatly missed by so many people. HE LOVED HIS FAMILY VERY MUCH. I hope they know that, but I'm guessing they do. All my prayers are with you. I'll miss you Wade !

To the Lurk Family 
I live in Ste Gen and when i found out about this I was shocked. I have a son, and I don't know what I would do if I lost him. Came kinda close when he was a year and a half. He stopped breathing for a short bit. It was the scarriest thing ever. He ended up getting flown to STL that day too. Anyhow, I did go out with some friends to look for Wade on Y hwy. I am really sorry no one found him alive. You are in my prayers and my family's. Just look at it this way, now you will always have Wade as a guardian angel to watch over you at all times. 

May God bless you and be with you now and forever

Wade's family, 
I am shocked about the news. But Wade has never gotten himself in trouble. Never joined a gang. The car may be a loss, but he is in the grandest place. The Kingdom of God! The mud is now gone. Wade really hasn't gone away. Not for those who loved him. He will always be out on the field playing his favorite sports. This should be a lesson to us all. Parents should teach thier kids how to call a cab when they party. When our children are at least 10 years old, THAT'S the time to teach them the wonders of public transportation. We need to all teach our children that it's okay to say no to gangs and alcoholic activities. I have you in my thoughts and prayers.

This leaves me speachless. I have 2 teenagers and this is a parents worst nightmare. I understand that some parents that believe that if we dont allow our kids to drink in a safe place that they are going to go do it anyways. Well now I hope they thank twice. I USED to allow some of my kids friends to come here while they are on a night out. But then I recieved a ticket for contribiting to minors. I didnt buy them any. I just stoped them from gettin back in their car and leaving. I am so sorry about our loss. And Im not saying that you were aware of your son drinking that night. I just wanted to get that off my chest. Again, I am so ssorry about your loss. If you need to talk, or anything just e-mail me.

A poem straight from my heart in Memory of Wade 
"Smiling Angel" 
The times that i felt alone 
I remember you said you'ld never leave me behind 
Struggling through the highs and the lows 
You'ld struggle by my side 
Remembering your laugh and sarcastic touch 
There was never too much 
The last thing you said I remember it well 
"When I get my wings, I'll never let you fall" 
Now your gone, and I never could say 
Your smile made my day 

I love you WADE

Man, i remember when i first met ya, i was to play your team in baseball the next day, but we both were going to miss that game cuz we were loading the bus for sohpomore pilgrimage, we had a great time, stayin up all night with those girls juss laughing and talking, i don't remember who they were but man i remember u being one of the coolest dudes i ever met, i met a lot of awesome people those two days but u were the only one i stayed in touch with, we ran into each other and hung out a few times since then, i juss remember you for what you were, a really true genuine great guy, a bright future ahead no doubt, we hadn't talked for awhile when i was at Boy's state one evening and i see Wade Lurk on the big screen as a Boy's state newscaster, i was like wow Wade is here i gotta find him and hang out with him again, it wasn't long till i saw ya and we hung out there. We some good times together,prolly not as many as with your closer friends with your lively personality, but still i was fortunate to call you my friend, when i heard the news i refused to believe it, it couldn't be by the name i kept hearing but i saw the picture and sure enough it was you, pretty crazy how things are sometimes man, our run in high school was close to an end, i heard that u were headed to MSU, u woulda been great, i know u can hear me now and u r happy where u r, it juss seemed to soon for anyone i know for this to happen, anyway, man u were/are awesome, my best wishes extends to the Lurk family, i will miss ya man, until we meet again,

I am very saddened to hear the news. But we know that teenagers are teenagers. It is a shame that teenagers don't take advice from parents. There are some parents that need to pay more closer to thier kids and know when they are about to pull something as stupid as drinking and driving. We need to tell out children that our proms are just as fun without acohol compaired to other proms. Here in St. Louis, we have a service called Call-a-Ride and just a call to them can get them door-to-door service. Each van holds up to ten people. 
Wade really hasn't gone away. Not for those who loved him.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. My heart is heavy with the loss of your son & brother, but you now know that he is in heaven with God. The search is over and those nights of wondering have come to and end. Our thoughts and prayers have been with all of you from day one. My son and I drove down to Bloomsdale both weekends to look for Wade. I do not know you personally, but I feel like I do. I guess it is just the association of the Lurk name, it is a strong family name for me, it was my mother's maiden last name. Wade is watching over all of you now, you have a personal angel in heaven. May God be with you. Lynne, Lisa & Tommy

I just wanted everyone who knew Wade to hear how sorry i am for your loss. I didnt know Wade at all but im sure he was a very awesome person. My sister and I searched for him every weekend we were off work. We used lots of money in gas looking for Wade. I realize that no one asked us to do this either and this just goes to show what kind of community we have here in Ste. Genevieve. Everyone who knew or didnt know Wade helped to look for him. This accident has taught me a very valuable lesson. I pray for Wade's family, again i am very sorry for your loss.(If anyone needs anyone to talk to, just someone to vent to u can email me anytime i will be glad to listen.)

Mike and Tina, 

My thoughts and prayers are with you and they have been since since this terrible ordeal began. Please find peace in knowing that Wade is in a better place -- his faith will be your rock to hold onto. 

Wade was a very giving person -- I worked next to him at Santa's Bash for the Chamber -- he delighted in painting those faces on the children and they all enjoyed him!! 

He has left many good menories for us to hold onto. 

God Bless!!

Dear Lurk Family, 
I am so sorry for your lost.You probaly don't know me but I was one of the teens that went to the VMY Retreat #3.Wade was so nice to everyone hr meets.He was friends with everbody he met.Wade was nice to me and he was the one that taught me how to play pitch the card game that weekend.I never knew how to play pitch before but he was the one that showed me his cards and explained how to play the game. He was very patient in explaining the game to me and never go mad at me if I did not understand something about the game.I will never forget that weekend I had fun playing the card game pitch.And I will never forget that he is the one that taught me how to play Pitch.We all had fun playing pool,Pitch,and Pin Pong ball with Wade.He was also in my group when we did the activitie with the beattitudes.It was his creativity and his idea to make a peace sign out of sticks for one of the beattitudes.Wade was a very nice and friendly person no matter who he is with.Wade is a good friend to everbody.Even though I known him just that week I was saddened when I heard that he had gone missing.I was in so many tears when I heard that they found him dead.I prayed and prayed that we would find him alive.I am still crying in my heart over his death.Even if you met Wade for just one second you would be crying now.Wade was a great friend to all.We will all miss him.And will never forget how Wade lighted up our life with his friendlieness.I am very very sorry for your lost and wish that only good luck will come your way and to the rest of your family.I will never forget how great of a friend Wade was and still will be in his grave.All of us will miss Wade a whole lot and will never forget how Wade touched our life with friend ship.

Your wonderful family is truly a blessing in our community. 
Our love and prayers, The Papins 

To friends of Wade, 
In whatever way this exceptional young man has touched all of our lives let us honor Wade by passing it on to others. Let us be more kind, helpful and compassionate towards one another and let's pass Wade's smile around the world. We will always remember.

Wade seems like such an awesome person. It's good now that we have some closure and do not have to worry about him. We know he is safe with God in heaven and is watching over all of us right now. I don't think he knew SO many people would dedicate their time to looking for him. It makes you think about every moment of your life and the things that might change in the blink of an eye. Rest In Peace Wade. God needed you to fulfill some purpose and we know you will do a good job with that.

Hello God, 
I called tonight 
To talk a little while 
I need a friend who'll listen 
To my anxiety and trial. 
You see, I can't quite make it 
Through a day just on my own... 
I need your love to guide me, 
So I'll never feel alone. 
I want to ask you please to keep 
My family safe and sound. 
Come and fill their lives with confidence 
For whatever fate they're bound. 
Give me faith, Dear God, to face 
Each hour throughout the day, 
And not to worry over things 
I can't change in any way. 
I thank you God for being home 
And listening to my call, 
For giving me such good advice 
When I stumble and fall. 
Your number, God, is the only one 
That answers every time. 
I never get a busy signal, 
Never had to pay a dime. 
So thank you, God, for listening 
To my troubles and my sorrow. 
Good night, God, I love You too, 
And I'll call again tomorrow! 
God Bless you with his Peace and Mercies.

Dearest Lurk family, 
What a beautiful life you created in Wade! How precious a man he became. 
He has left on the ultimate journey Home now, and I can guarantee, he took all of you with him in his heart. 
I don't know any of you personally, only through Wade's story that a fellow chatter led me to. 
I prayed for his safe return back to your welcoming arms, and if that couldn't happen for reasons unknown to us, then I prayed that you would at least find out where he was and bring him back that way. 
As much as you, I wanted him to come home to you safely, and I'm so very sorry that it didn't turn out that way. 
Please, remember to not only let him live on in you, but you all live on in his beautiful, immaculate spirit. 
He is being refined in the purest of ways, by the almighty creator now, and how wonderful is it that God lent him to you for the time he was here. 
God entrusted him to your family, to shape and mold him into a spiritual, faithful young man, and as others have stated, you did such a wonderful job. 
I know you're hurting, my family knows a lot of the same pain that you're going through right now, so if you take away nothing else you read from this post, please, take this away...Where there's praise, there's healing, and there's no void left. 
What I mean to say, is that if you can praise God for every tiny thing you did, all the memories you had with Wade, then you'll begin to heal all the faster, and that empty hole will fill up with a presence that cannot be taken away from you. 
You're all in my prayers.

We did not know Wade, nor did our daughter who is a senior at Central High School this year, but we watched in agony as your family endured this horrific nightmare and thought it could have been us or any other parent of a teen that we know. Our hearts break for you and for your loss. I know that this will stay with many, many young people, especially locally, and hopefully, will make them think more about their decision to drink and drive. Maybe, that is what was supposed to come from this tragedy and maybe there is something even bigger. Our sympathy and our prayers are with you and your family and all of Wade's friends.

Mike and Tina, our heartfelt sympathy goes to your family in this time of sorrow. We will all miss Wade so much. Though you can now rest knowing where he is, this is not the ending we all wanted. Wade is a wonderful young man whom God simply has bigger plans for now. Friends of mine who never new him at all could tell by his pictures and from reading about him that he was a good person and a wonderful young man. One friend of mine wrote me the following. I hope this can help you as much as it did me. Take care and know you have many friends who's hearts are going out to all of you right now. 

This is from a co-working: 
Please accept my condolences on your loss. From all the news stories and flyers, it sounds like Wade was an intelligent, caring young man with bright future. While it may be painful to accept that he is gone from this earth, I sincerely believe that God has a higher calling for Wade to fulfill. As humans, it is difficult to accept that God’s plan doesn’t always go hand-in-hand with our wishes, desires, and dreams. Our human minds want to rationalize what happened, but, faith, by its nature, can not be rationalized; it can only be accepted. Remember and honor Wade, and, keep the faith that you will be reunited with him in the kingdom of heaven at the time of God’s plan.

I too have a senior in high school (the same age as Wade) and I can not begin to tell you how devistating it would be to deal with everything you have. I am glad to know that you have faith and supporters although support can help ease the some of the pain I'm sure it will never remove the tremendous loss you feel. May God Bless you and your family. I believe God has brought him safely home to Heaven.

"Life ain’t always beautiful 
Sometimes it’s just plain hard 
Life can knock you down,it can break your heart 
Life ain’t always beautiful 
You think you’re on your way 
And it’s just a dead end road at the end of the day 
But the struggles make you stronger 
And the changes make you wise 
And happiness has it’s own way of taking it’s sweet time 
No life ain’t always beautiful 
Tears will fall sometimes 
Life ain’t always beautiful 
But it’s a beautiful ride" 



May God grant you the strength and courage to get you through this tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Wade was an exceptional young man. I work at McDonalds in town, and everytime he came in he would have a huge smile on his face and order his "McWade" sandwhich. Wade will forever be in my prayers. God Bless Wade and your family.

Offering you our deepest sympathy for the loss of your son Wade. We did not know him personally, but have heard many great things about him from his friends. Everyone has been praying for answers or a sign of some kind to find Wade and I guess God finally gave that to us. Unfortunately, it was not how everyone had hoped it would turn out. Maybe you will find peace in knowing that he is in a much better place now. We will continue to keep you in our prayers.

The Lurk family, 
When I heard the news about Wade yesterday, my heart dropped. I was really confident that there was going to be a better outcome, but I was wrong. You just have to think that he is happy with God in heaven. Wade will be missed by many people everywhere. Stay strong. During difficult times when you need help, just say, "Wade, I really need you right now," and he will hopefully help you. All of you will always remain in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

I don't know Wade, but this has struck me in a way that I havn't been struck in a long time. I have lost Family, and I have lost friends. I am 24 yrs old, and live in Washington State. I have been following Wade's disapearance since the day it popped into the news, all the way until the minute I walked into my office this morning to see the news that they found him. Over the past three weeks I have been telling the kids in my circle of friends about this story. We are all VERY VERY sorry for all of Wade's family and friends. I have visited his Myspace account and have seen first hand the outpoor from the folks who knew him and loved him, and it makes me sad to see such a bright kid gone FAR too soon. I may not have known Wade personally, but I feel touched by his love for life and the folks around him. Some of us will have hard times making it through the next few days undistracted... Everyone please understand, Wade has a family (and from what I understand a younger brother and sister) who will be impacted by this for the rest of their lives. My thoughts are with them. 

To his father (I hope you read this): I lost my dad when I was 15 years old. It was a tragic accident in which he was killed in a Motorcycle accident. It hit me harder than anything anyone can imagine. In one way or another I know what you are feeling. I know you searched for Wade harder and longer than ANYONE. And no one aside from you and Mrs. Lurk took this hit harder. And no one is hurt more by this terrible news. Wade was a good kid, and everything he did he did for a reason. There are two younger siblings that are going to need you more than ever. I hope and pray that you can find the strength to rise above everything and MAKE WADE PROUD. It took one heck of a Father to raise a young man as bright as Wade... There is nothing that I can say except how fortunate your family is to have you as the rock that they will lean on. And beleive me, YOU WILL ALL NEED TO LEAN ON EACH OTHER. Please stay strong. 

Mrs. Lurk: YOU CAN MAKE IT. I know what a strong community you have there, and all of them will be there through this tough time. Nothing I can say will make this easier. I am at a complete loss for words on what to say to you. I AM SO SORRY. 

To Wade's siblings: Keep Wade's spirit alive. He would have gone on to accomplish great things. He passed a legacy on to you. I hope both of you were granted the same wonderful gifts, and I want you both to know that your Mom and Dad feel the exact same way that you do. You are both very lucky to have such a great community there to give you a shoulder to cry on. I am sure Wade was a great big brother. One of you has Wades job now, and I hope you can both be there for each other. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. 

To the rest of the Ste. Genevieve community (Especially Wade's Friends): I have never been more impressed by such a huge response and outreach as the one that I saw from you. The combined effort and perseverance reached out farther than I think I have ever seen. People dissapear and accidents happen ALL THE TIME. I have never seen one particular case scream this loud. Wade's character bread a passion in all of you that I hope carries everyone through this crossroad. People are going to change, and descions are going to be made, all from this tragic event. Wade will touch people in death in a way that he never could have in life. Something positive will come of this. I hope each and everyone one of you continue to be there for the Lurks. I could only wish that every lost student or child had the type of community that would do what you ALL did for Wade. Stay strong. There is a WORLD of people who have all of you in their prayers. 

I am extending an open invitation to any of Wade's Family or friends to contact me anytime. If there is A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G that I can do, I WILL. I lost friends in high school at Parties, and I have lost family. This is not an easy time, but in getting through it, friends are the key. I want everyone to know that you have friends here, and I hope and pray that each one of you keeps the strength and spirit of Wade alive. I won't say RIP Wade, because HE LIVES in everyone that knew him. Keep him alive by continuing his work. Don't let anything he participated in lack. The lawns he mowed, MUST BE MOWED. The postion he played in sports MUST BE PLAYED. And the family he loved MUST BE LOVED. The entire Lurk family will be in my thoughts......

I have been reading newspapers and watching the news and trying to understand the truth. My mom told me I don't know what I would do if I went missing. We cried together and because of this ordeal I am now more aware of the world around me. I hope for the best of you and your family.

My nephew attends Valle and also plays football, he is in the same class as Wade's little sister- and he is devistated by the recent tragedy and now the finding of his car. How can you explain to a child why or how when you have no idea yourself. I do hope the truth comes out of this- and if ANYONE was involved, even if the investigation shows otherwise- they will know in their hearts- and if there is any person(s) involved in this bright young man's death- may you pay for this eternally. My prayers are with the family and pray that the truth does come out- stay strong- and DO NOT let them give up on this case- there must be more here that these kids are hiding. TO BE A REAL FRIEND IS TO ALWAYS BE THERE- IF YOU ARE HIDING SOMETHING FROM THE FAMILY- YOU ARE ONLY HURTING YOURSELF. The family never deserved to lose their son, but since they have, they now deserve that closure of knowing the truth. Do the right thing this time, kids.

Several concerned friends emailed me the flyer about him being missing. I am a mother of a son and I couldn’t imagine what you have gone through and what you are going through now. Wade and your family are in my prayers. May God take you under his care during this difficult time.

I remember the tuesday right before he came up missing he came up to me at the community center and told me some funny stories about when we were in kindergarden and then all of a sudden he was gone. I once again just want to say I am very very sorry about all that has happened to you, but at least he is in a better and safer place and will be watching over you.

****no REWARD please ***** 



TO ALL OF STE. GEN READ PLEASE!!!! 

I hope and pray that the people who found Wade’s car is satisfied with knowing they helped the whole community by keeping a look out for Wade’s car while fishing. I personally think that the men who found the car should not take the “REWARD” money. The family has been through enough, this “REWARD” money is coming from their pockets I’m sure. Let the family endure no more worries. If the money is taken the community should come together once again for the family.

To Mike, Tina, the entire Lurk family, and all those touched by Wade. 

I've wanted to write and send my wishes, but just haven't been able to find the words until today. Just one year ago today, I lost my mom, and I remember feeling so many things. Getting through this first year has been difficult, but I find peace and comfort knowing that she went to a place far better than the one we live in. A place full of beauty, peace and serenity. And I know that one day I will again share my time with her, just as you will again with Wade. 

Although I never met Wade, I feel I've come to know him through the kind words spoken of him by family, friends, and even strangers. Watching your strength and your faith has been an inspiration to many parents, including myself. 

This is a tragic ending to a tragic story and I sincerely hope that you find your inner peace as I believe you will. Please know that there are so many thoughts and prayers sent to you and your family each and every day. May God bless you and your family!

To the Lurk family and friends, 

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Wade, nor do I know your family, but when I heard the news, I felt saddened. I have been following the story since it became public and read all of the postings about it on the internet. Please know that people are praying for you, asking God to give you faith and strength during this tremendously hard time. I, like many others, am relieved that there can be resolution to the seraching for Wade, but I was hoping it would not turn out like this. 

I know words cannot comfort you during this time, but I will continue to pray.

Hello Lurks, 

I just wanted you to know that Wade will always be alive--in spirit and in your hearts! Don't look at this like a loss but a new beginning. New life with Jesus, and a chance for your family to regain strength trough God. He will help you through this! Everyone will always remember Wade and his bright smile! Please stay strong for Wade. He is watching over all of us! You can pray to him now, not for him. And just remember...Dylan and Wade will always have each other. And you will see him again! Have faith that your lives will be blessed! God Bless!

It is truely a tragedy when we lose someone so, close to us and at such an young age. Many feelings and thoughts race through our minds of "I should have" or "why" or "did he know that we loved him?" Guilt is a bitter pill, but one we make ourselves swallow. We can torchure ourselves for a life time with "should have's" and "what if's" We begin to remember the tiniest detail of the time that we held with them. But we only come to defeat ourselves. "Time" they say heal all wounds, but time is slow to move on. It is up to ourselves to rely upon our faith. To pray to Our Father above. We need to thank him for the precious time that we did get to spend with our loved ones. But words mean little for us at this time.....Our heart goes out to you, the family. Find strength in knowing that Wade was a good person. He was outgoing, helpful and friendly. He touched many lives personally and through this tragic event. He loved his family and he blessed them with his presence. He now stands with God, and will be seen again, one day.

Our hearts go out to each of you. We've never met you, but from the moment we heard Wade was missing you have all been in our hearts and prayers and will continue to be so. I cannot imaginge the pain and suffering that you have gone through. I thank God that at least now you can begin the process of closure. We have lost loved ones in the past and have learned that time heals the pain but it will never go away. May your pain diminish quickly. God bless each of you.

Our prayers are with you and your family. We have been praying everyday for closure and your prayers were answered, Wade's body was found. His spirit will always be with us and his soul is with his Heavenly Father. A prayer for the day: Lord, if there are so many things here on earth which we cannot understand, how can we understand heavenly things? Human reason is weak and limited. It can be so easily deceived, but true faith can never be deceived. Such faith depends upon Your word, and Your word is Truth. If Your works were such that they could easily be understood by my puny human reason, they could hardly be called wonderful and divine. As long as I know that You speak through Your Church, I shall doubt what She tells me. Amen Please go to a support group, counseling as the statistics is 75% of marriages end up in a divorce with the lost of a child. We will be praying for you daily. Your old neighbors at Lake Forest Larry and Vicki I had a dream that Wade is doing better things for us.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I had been following Wade's story on the news. Here is a poem I wish to share that was read at my grandmother's funeral. God Bless. 

Susan Nichols 

A letter from Heaven 

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say. 
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. 

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. 
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love. 

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. 
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. 

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through. 
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you." 

"It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. 
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on. 

I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan. 
There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man." 

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. 
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. 

And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight. 
God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night. 

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years. 
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. 

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. 
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. 

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. 
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. 

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over. 
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. 

There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; 
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. 

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too; 
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. 

If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain; 
Then you can say to God at night...."My day was not in vain. 

And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile. 
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile." 

So if you meet somebody who is sad and low; 
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go. 

When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind; 
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. 

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free. 
Remember you're not going.... you're coming here with me.

I'm so sorry for the loss of such a life. It wasn't just the loss of his family and friends, it was a loss for the world. I didn't know Wade personally. But, from reading the things people have been saying on here and visiting his myspace page, I think I have a pretty good idea about the kind of person he was. You can tell that he touched a lot of lives and if given more time, he would've touched many... many more. 

I know this must be extremely hard on the family and my prayers are with you. 

I've been following his dissapperance since day one and I was shocked to hear about today's recovery. 

He's in heaven now with the lord. The lord has great plans for Wade and those plans didn't permit him to stay with us longer. He's looking down on everyone now. He will always be with everyone in their hearts and thoughts. Never will he be forgotten. 

He's in a better place with all of the other dearly departed. It's not the end of anyone's time with Wade, you'll all meet him again at heaven's gate. 

I'm sure none of you will let this be in vain. You'll all take something away fromt this. Hopefully you all will strive even more to make the best out of your lives... for Wade. 

I'm glad the Lurk family has closure now. This wasn't the form of closure anyone was hoping for, but, you don't have to wonder anymore or be afraid for him any longer. 

You all will be in my heart and I wish the best for your family. I'm sorry you had to suffer through such a tragedy. 

May the lord be with you.

I can not even begin to imagine your pain in a time like this. I go to school with a friend of Wade's and have tried to keep up on the situation from Imperial. My heart dropped today when I heard the news but now the end of the constant not knowing can almost be over. These things do take time to get over, but know in your heart that he is there with you. I wish that I could take your families pain, but know that I at least do share it even tough I never met Wade. My families and my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Since his disappearance, we've heard so many stories about him, that it's like we have come to know him. He was well-liked and well-loved by so many in the schools and the community. 
Our hearts and prayers are with you during this time. We pray that God will give your family peace and comfort. Let us know if we can do anything for you.

I want to start out by saying how sorry I am that your family has to endure such a loss. I wish we could have found him sooner. Every night I would pray to God that some kind of lead to Wade's whereabouts would be found. I was at goose creek Sat. looking and asking God to please help us find him so his family doesn't have to go on wondering every day and night.(where?) God has finally answered our prayers by letting us find him and I know that we were praying for more but God has a plan and no matter what we do in life we can not alter his plan for us. I pray that this tragedy bonds your family stronger. To many times in life the loss of a child can drive a family apart, don't let this happen to you. Stay strong and know that God is with you always. You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You All!

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And Let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

To the Lurk, Wilder, Montgomery, and Oberle families. Our family is so sorry for the untimely loss of Wade. I am thankful for the end to your nightmare, however we prayed for a better outcome. I have had the pleasure of knowing your family for years, and I have always been impressed with the close bond you all share. Wade was an exceptional young man and an inspiration to every ones' lives he touched. Wade spoke to me no matter where he was, with many friends, working out or family events. I looked at him many times and hoped that my boys turn out as caring, gracious and kind as Wade. Mike and Tina you should be very proud of the exceptional young man you raised, so many of messages on here are so touching, describing how Wade reached out to those he knew and graciously touched the lives of those he didn't. You two have been an inspiration to those of us clinging to any developing news of Wade, you both are so strong, I know your faith and close family will get you through this next chapter. Brooke and Jordan, we are so sorry for your loss as well, we pray for your courage and guidance through this time. You are both are remarkable young people. Based on the things I have read and know about Wade the Good Lord has a great plan for him. Rest assured that although he taken from us sooo early, he set quite the example in his short time on earth and is now in a much better, safer place with the Lord in Heaven. We pray for his strength and guidance for those he touched and left behind..He is doing now what he was chosen to do and along the way, maybe his purpose is to give a wake up call to the young individuals that were at the pary, how short life is and for the community that despite differences we can all come together for a common good..Hopefully, this is the wake up call many people needed and will change the course for those who have faltered. God Bless you and your family, we love you all very much.

He sounds like the most amazing person. Having a young son myself, I cannot imagine the heartache you are going through. The family and friends of Wade are in our thoughts and prayers.

They played a great game that night and I had congradulated them all on there win. I have three sons of my own and I would be torn apart if somthing happened to one of them,I even went out to Goose creek last thursday to do another run through of one of my friends properties.

I just want to let the Lurk family know they are in my prayers. I did not know Wade, but I have felt a close connection to his story. My brother was the same age as Wade and died in a car accident last year. It just hurts me to see any family going through what I know is such a confusing and painful experience. But hopefully there is some peace in knowing he is in a better place and having closure so you can grieve. Though he is gone, he will never really leave you. I feel my brother with me every day. It sounds like Wade lived a wonderful life, one full of happiness, and that's something you can always thank God for. I've come to feel blessed for the years He gave me with my brother and not be angry for the years He took away. I pray you find this peace, as well.

I just wanted extend my deepest sympathy to all of Wade's family members. I grew up in Ste. Genevieve and also attended Valle schools. Even though I did not know Wade personally, my nephew was a good friend of his and I did get to hear Wade speak publically @ church last year. I remember what a nice job he did with his speaking. I have been watching and praying for the return of Wade since the beginning. I was very saddened to hear the news today. May your faith, courage and loving support of family, friends and community help you through these most difficult days. God has a plan for us all and sometimes it is not for us to know or understand. God Bless Wade. God Bless his family and friends.

All my thoughts and love go out to your family...

Note to Wade-Have fun in heaven. Enjoy watching your friends and family from up there. Say hi to paul for me (you'll know who he is, i'm sure he's already found you up there). Know that your family and friends will love you forever, and you made a lot of people happy with your life.

I have always felt like I lived in a little bubble. Things like this just don't happen in Ste. Genevieve. I remember coming to your beauty shop when I was in high school many years ago. Now I am a "grown up" with 3 kids of my own. My heart is broken for you. I cried today when I heard the news. Your family has been in my thoughts since April 1. I live near the BVFD. The people who showed up to help search that day were just so amazing. I couldn't believe all the people and the helicopters and news trucks. I was so distracted that Monday that I took off work early to go help search. We live in a truly remarkable community. I hugged my kids especially hard when I put them to bed tonight. I can't imagine how I would feel in your shoes. God bless you all! God bless Wade! I am so glad that you will now get some closure. I will continue to pray for you!

I do not know any of you but I just felt like I needed to give you my sympathy. No words can be spoken that will take the hurt and pain away. The pain will never go away--it will ease but will always be with you. But you will also carry with you all the love and memories of a great and amazing son. God will be with you and Wade is with God.

hi Wade's family 
I just wanted you to know I am still praying for you. But, the most important thing is that you know that God is still watching over you and your family, and that you never stop believing in him and his powers. God will help you get through this. I never knew Wade but he has touched my life so much, I have become closer to God within the past few weeks and I owe it all to your son. I used to like guys that smoked and and spoke badly and did not believe what I believed because i thought nobody else was out there like me, but after reading Wade's myspace I Know now that there are guys just like me that believe in God and have faith and don't hate just about everything in people. And I owe that to your son, i can't wait till I GO TO Heaven and say thanks to your son for making my life so much better. without Wade in 10 years I could have been married to a guy I thought I loved but now I know that won't happen. I know Wade is looking down from heaven with God just watching us all, he now knows what a HUGE impact he has made on people's lifes. 
And his memories and smile will be in our hearts forever.

First off, let me just take a moment to offer my deepest sympathies. I did not personally know Wade, but after I found out via the news that he had a Myspace account, I went searching for it, and all I can say is WOW. Reading his surveys, etc. really give a great idea of who he was as a person--and he sounds like a remarkable individual. So full of life, dreams, potential...It's so sad that God had to take him away from all of the people in his life...I think as society we become somewhat immune when we hear another person is missing or another person has died, but getting to read about Wade and getting to learn the little I have about him really makes a difference and I am truly grateful for the "sneak-peek" I have gotten into his life and the small insight I have been able to gain. I can tell family and friends were important to him, and the comments his friends leave truly indicate what a great person he must have been and how much he will be missed. I am so sorry God took him away from all of you. But, have faith that Wade is in a better place now and God took him away for a better purpose. God's timing is not always our timing, and sometimes it seems like He is so unfair.

Mike, Tina, Brooke, and Jordan 

I heard about Wade's car in the lake of Goose Creek with possibly him it! I am so so sorry this happened to you, but remember Wade was a wonderful wonderful guy and no one will ever forget him!!! I asked almost every day to see if there was anything reported about him but it always the same answer, "No we dont know anything yet" but then finally today, Monday April 17 2006 Wade was found in his car of the lake at Goose Creek and when I heard i thought completly bout the Lurk family and how you guys would handle that!! I am really really really really realy sorry! I'll be there for Jordan at school, and Brooke and Tina and Mike anywhere else, espeacilly in my prayers! 
With love to Wade, and the Lurk family!

Mike & Tina & Family, 
I'm deeply sorry to hear about what happened to Wade. After I recieved the news today about his car and him, I could not even believe it. Though, I felt some sort of relief that we now know where he is and he's in a better place.. but yet it's just so scary how this did or might have happened, we're going to get to the bottom of this. He's an awesome guy and won't ever be forgotten. I could go on for days on what a wonderful person he is, but we all already know this; willing to do anything for anyone no matter who you are....He will be deeply missed and my sympathy is with you all and your family. Hang in there, you have overwelming support from everyone in the town, and everywhere else. You know that if you ever need ANYTHING, this town is willing to give up anything for you all. We can see what wonderful parents you are through this. Stay strong and don't ever give up, he wouldn't want you to, i'm sure he's looking over you and protecting you and your loved ones now

We were so sadden to learn of your son's death. We are praying for you and your family, and watched his story on AMW last Sat. We were hoping for his safe return, but God called him home instead. The days ahead will be filled with sadness, but God must have had a plan for Wade. He looked like a great kid, and we were just thankful there wasn't foul play. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for this opportunity to express our sympathy to you. Losing a son or daughter is the hardest grieve you'll endure. Remember to look to your faith, and God will be with you.

You have an amazing son. I'm so sorry i just heard about his death. You both did an awesome job rasing him. He never was sad or mad he was always smiling and happy he was the shoulder you could cry on when you're down he was the friend you called when you were in trouble. He was just an amazing kid. I have so many things I could say about him but it's to short of a space to write in. I'm sure Brooke and Jordan will turn out just as great as Wade. Just stay strong. Everyone has lost something here..for the people who knew him and for the people who never got to meet wade truely missed out because he is so wonderfull words can't explain it. I will truely miss him..his laugh his huge smile everything about him! Kassie

I am so so sorry to hear about Wade!! I heard about the car being in the lake of Goose Creek and him maybe being in the car and i think that so so sad! I watched the news almost every night to see if there was anything on it about Wade and everytime I heared that there will be a report about him on Nancy Grace I'll watch it even when another show I love is on I will always watch it even though it was neevr on! I just can't even think about how you feel it is almost impossible. I mean if a tear could bring him back, I would have an ocean bigger than this world. I miss im so much and i don't know how my life is ganna go knowing that his car was in the lake that was like 70 feet deep! I'll be there for Jordan at school and Brooke, Tina and Mike just anywhere else! I never thought that someone i konw and love would go missing and accually be in the car in the lake of Goose Creek.

He has been out to check the property. You will remain in my prayers!! I got the flyer emailed from someone in Conneticut so the word is out there. Please hang in there and be possitive.

We have had Wade's flyer posted on the doors at the Homestead since he became missing. I have been asking many customers if they know anything? No one has any leads other than rumor. I have heard a few rumors. 

As a hobby, I trail ride horses. Could I help by riding somewhere in your area and searching? 

In the mean time I will keep my ears open and pass out flyers. 

Please let me know if I can be or any further help.

Hello, I only had the pleasure of meeting Wade once, but from what I saw he is an amazing person. He came down to MSU and Kayla and Angie gave him a tour. I remember waking up in the morning and seeing some boy sleeping on the floor. As I quietly tried to walk past him he politely got up and said oh im sorry. He truly was the kindest boy i had met so far in college. Angie and Kayla have put up numerous flyers around the dorm and all the way from springfield to st.louis and to ste. gen. All of us here in Blair Shannon are praying for his safe return. We miss you Wade. Please come back, your family and friends need you. God bless.

Mike, Tina, Brooke and Jordan, Be strong, believe, and stick together. There are people who love you, respect you, and believe. The positive vibes are coming to you and your family. You are in mine and Neil's thoughts every day. Please.....if we can do ANYTHING. Don't hesitate to call. We may not be close, but we are still family.

Tina and Mike, 

I want to start by saying that Wade, along with your family, has become a part of my family's daily prayers. I know how difficult this is for me to cope with so I can only imagine your struggle to deal with the pain. Hang in there - God is on our side in this battle and won't give up until the battle is won. 

First of all, you guys truly deserve a pat on the back when it comes to raising Wade; he is a child that every parent dreams their child will grow up to be. 

Just by looking at him it is obvious that he is one happy camper. I swear his smile could be seen from a mile away. Whether it was passing him while he was taking a lap or talking to him while he was working out his smile was forever a outstanding feature - *Wade don't ever stop smiling*. 

Memories are what makes times like these so difficult. I find myself sitting around thinking of past memories with Wade ... walking down to Tina's Beauty Shop and eventually hopping into the "big" white van to go to your house to wait for my mom to get home from work. I remember finding Wade to be an outstanding artist (at that time great at drawing cartoon characters especially Ninja Turtles), I can only imagine how great of an artist he must be now. Then there were the memorable Steubenville retreats. Wade was definately the ladies man! He would always attract a crowd by playing the guitar (or maybe it was his good looks that attracted the crowd?). I'm sure Wade would agree that our most remembered Steubenville memory is sad, but true - getting in trouble. How naughty we were to go against the rules. We both knew no girls were allowed in the boys dorms, but hey all we wanted to do was play cards and get away from the "un-interesting" chats. These are just a few of the memories that stand out in my mind, but hey I'm definately up for making more. 

Wade is truly a friend to everyone, and because of this has so many people out there who won't give up until his safe arrival home. 

I miss you Wade and can't wait to walk up the stairs of the Community Center and see that "BIG" georgeous smile staring back at me. 

My prayers will continue for all of you - hang in there we will all get through this together.

I hope he makes it home safely so he can go to New Orleans with VMY this summer. I will continue praying for him. May thoughts and prayers are with Wade and his family.

This is Natalie Lalumandier, Brian Lalumandier's daughter. When i heard that my cousin was missing i cried. My mom or my friends could not cheer me up! I may not of been that close to him, but of coarse when i saw him at family get togethers i knew who he was. I have known Wade all my life, and to think somthing like this would happen to him just surprises me. He never did anything to no one or anything, cause he was just that kind of person. But i know that in my heart things will get better, and i know that Wade knows that too!You all have to know that even though i am so far away, you guys and him are in my heart till the end. So i am always here for you no matter what. I wish there was more i could do!

Mike and Tina, 
I pray that your son will find his way home very shortly. You know along with the ENTIRE community knows that the teenagers at that party knows some information that will lead to Wade's whereabouts. I feel that if this happened to their family, then it would be a different story and they would want someone that knew something tell. How on earth can a teenager keep the deepest secret when the entire WORLD is envoled in this search looking for this young, outgoing, smart kid. 

*please lord help this family in this such hard time in their life over come the fear of their son. Please help them find Wade Michael Lurk and bring him home safe. May you contune to put your hands on them and lead them to their son. In your percius name AMEN

I want to let you know that we will be keeping him in our prayers here in Lebanon! Wade I really HOPE THAT YOU WILL COME HOME SOON!!!! And to anyone that was at the party if you know anything please go and tell the police so that his family will find him as soon as possible! It's not easy losing a son or a daughter! So if anyone knows anything go and tell the police please! 
Love, 
Stephanie Vargas 
GOD BLESS

He always puts a smile on my face when he comes in to dance class to learn a routine with the Valle Dance Team. I even caught him practicing at the gas station while he was pumping gas. Please come home soon so we can have one last DANCE before you go to college. Again, you are in our prayers.

I dont know you but I read about you on CourtTV and I looked at your MySpace and for some reason my heart just dropped. You seem like such a nice kid and its hard to think that something like this could happen to a kid like you. I am 17 too and it scares me to think that things like this happen even in small towns like yours..I pray that you are okay and that you come back to your family soon.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you every minute of the day. We think of Wade and his family constantly. As a mother I ask God to wrap his arms around the family especially his son Wade and Wade's mother to comfort, console, and ease the pain of separation. Tears come to our eyes, we feel so helpless. Just know that you are not alone and we continue to pray for Wade's safe return and for his entire family.

To Wade and the Lurk Family, 

I'm sending you all my prayers right now. I feel such a connection to Wade, and I've never even met him! He's only 3 years younger than me -- he's from a town right by mine (I'm from Leadwood), and I'm attending MSU, just like Wade wants to... Be 100% assured of this: if I was back home right now, I would spend every second of daylight searching for you, Wade... 

But since I'm committed to work and school 200 miles away, I offer you and your family my most sincere prayers, and this promise: I will be first in line to shake your hand and give you a warm welcome to Missouri State University on your first day, okay Wade? 

God Bless you and your family. May you find home regardless of circumstance. In Lord Jesus' Name, Amen.

Hey Wade, 
I don't know you but I pray about you and your family every night. I pray to God about 50 times a day to be with you and bring you home safely. I know in my heart that God will bring you home safely. And that God will take care of you, no matter where you are, and since it's around Easter you never know what God has up his sleave. Wade, I hope that we can talk someday and talk about movies; so come home soon because those movies are piling up on you; there are a lot of new chick flicks out just like you like LOL (off of your myspace it's says you like chick flicks) 
Can't wait to see you safe at home soon. 

Love( ) always,

Wade, you don't know me but I went to college with your Aunt Lori. There's not an hour that goes by without thinking of you and your family.: 
'Wondering if there's a place we all haven't searched. The "What if's" ....I just couldn't imagine what your family is going through......Cause my family has cried for you and we've never met. But, I know that Jesus will bring you home safe and sound!! I try to keep up that faith for you and your family. And know that that alone will bring you back to them again! 

Please know that you and your family are in my prayers constantly. And when you make it home again with that beautiful smile of yours the Angels in Heaven will be singing praises for the miracle at hand!

I just posted on Huff's crimeboard and i followed a link here. I look to any teen at that party and say, You know SOMETHING..and need to come clean. Do you think the adults around you were born yesterday? You saw something. You need to get over your selfish selves and come clean. The pain you are putting this family through is sick. It cannot be true that you saw nothing. You were at a party with drugs and alochol. You say you did not see his car leave? Let me tell you, I was a teen once and I can guarantee that if I were at a party and I saw headlights or heard a car engine, I dont care how drunk or smoked up I was, I was very aware for fear it was the cops. Had just one of you said, I saw him leave, it would be believable. Whoever knows, the truth will come out and God have mercy on your souls.

I never had the chance to talk to Wade, but I saw him at the community center lifting numerous times. I could tell that he is the kind of person that people want to be around. Many of my friends know him very well, and I can see the pain they are going through. He must be a pretty awesome person. I'll be praying for you and for his safe return.

Wade: 
Hey buddy. Once again I am working down at the shop and I am hoping you get home soon so i don't have to go through this summer with all the "young kids". We have so many great memories from the shop and we have many more to make ahead of us. I keep replaying all the countless hours we sat down at the shop not doing anything (but don't MS. Menard). The things we would come up with just to pass the time. I miss you so much! I know we haven't really talked much this past year but I was hoping that this summer we could rekindle our great friendship! I pray for you all the time. 
P.S. No more sundae eating contest, we can only have one item per shift. I know that sucks!!! 
Mike, Tina, Brooke, and Jordan: 
You are all in my prayers. I have everyone at Fontbonne praying for you and Wade too. God works in mysterious ways and I know He will return Wade home safely. Stay positive for WADE!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of hardship. Everyone i know in St. Louis are keeping your family in their thoughts and prayers. May the Lord give your family and Wade the strength to get through this. God Bless. 

Wade... I remember all of the conversations we had during football camps your freshman and sophomore year. And oh the good times on the sidelines. I could always count on you to bring a smile to my face, whether it would be through your actions or words, or just through your smile. You are a true friend, and I can't wait til you are back with us in Ste. Gen.

To the Lurk family: 

I first heard about this terrible news from my mom, Vanalee Cannon, who lives in Ste. Gen and gets her hair done by Tina. She's very worried and sad about the whole situation. After I spoke with her I went on the Internet to see what I could find out. I've been thinking about all of you, even though I don't know you personally, every single day and I'm praying for Wade's safe return. I know you must be going through hell, I can't even imagine. 
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you are reunited with your beautiful son very soon. 
God Bless and take good care of yourselves.

Wade, 
One of my favorite memories of Ste. Gen is working at Sara's Ice Cream shop. I always loved hanging out with you and talking about anything and everything. You have grown up so much. I can't wait to see you at MSU. I will be living in Springfield forever.
