John M. Wade

John M. Wade, 63, passed away peacefully at his home on October 12, 2025. Born on September 1, 1962 in Plymouth, John was the son of John Wade and Yvonne “Bonnie” Landry.

While in high school, John started working at Tri-County Beverage. Once he graduated from high school, his role of being a helper progressed to being a driver and then on to management. After 44 years, John was still working as a dedicated employee of Indiana Beverage.

For over 12 years, John was a beloved dog dad to his white lab, Bentley.
