Obituary

Wade H. Brody, age 43 of Millville, passed away on Wednesday June 6, 2012 at S.J. Healthcare, HospiceCare Bridgeton. Wade was born in South Portland, Maine to Melvin S. and the late Susan R. (Litwack) Brody. He was a resident of Vineland before moving to Millville22 years ago. Wade graduated from Silver Springs High School, Class of 1986 in Maryland and went on to earn a Bachelor's degree in business from the University of Maryland in 1990. He then returned to South Jersey to work in the family business at Brody's Furniture Store. Wade's soul passion was to fundraise for the M.S. Society and was recognized by the National M.S. Society as a prolific fundraiser. Through his work with the MS Society, he helped to raise over $2.7 million as founder of the Parvin State Park MS Walk. He truly believed he was put on this earth to raise money for a cure, he never had a complaint or gave up hope that one day he would walk again. As someone who was diagnosed with MS, Wade choose to make this his fight, not just for himself, but because he didn't want anyone else to go through what he did. Wade had a smile that would light up the room, he was a true inspiration and will be dearly missed. Wade is survived by his father, Melvin S. Brody and wife Joanne of Millville. His sisters, Tara Perry of Charlestown, West Virginia and his niece MacKenzie Perry and sisters Rachel Harle Shanley and Deborah Harle Kroschwitz. Also by his step-sister Erin DeHaven and many special aunts, uncles and cousins. Wade is predeceased by his mother, Susan R. Brody, maternal grandparents; William and Marion Litwack and his paternal grandparents; Sidney and Lois Brody.
