Wade H. Stull

September 04, 1946 - May 12, 2023

Service: Service at a later date.


Wade H. Stull, of Ross Twp., passed away in his home unexpectedly, on Friday, May 12, 2023, due to sudden heart failure, at the age of 76. He was the most excellent, caring husband of Barbara Stull and a devoted, loving father to his children Shana Fabian, Wade A. Stull and Erika Stull. Wade took great joy in his wonderful grandchildren, Julia Fabian and Troy Fabian and relished attending Julia’s musical performances and Troy’s sports games.

Wade graduated from Kittanning High School and William Penn College. Wade was employed for 35 years by A. C. Dellovade, Inc. as Mgr. of Business Development before his retirement in 2020. In the course of his working life, he made many good friends and greatly enjoyed their camaraderie and the numerous great times spent together.
Wade always had a fondness for dogs and actually, at the age of 16, showed the family’s Welsh Terrier at Madison Square Garden. In recent years, not simultaneously, he was the “dogfather” of three Pomeranians – Ayla, Humphrey and most recently, A. J.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Shirley Stull and his brother, Jack W. Stull. In addition to his immediate family, Wade is survived by his former wife, Joanne Stull, sister-in-law, Connie Stull, his step-daughter, Sandra Shillinger-Gaggini and son-in-law,Gregg Gaggini.Wade was a most gregarious gentleman who could hold a conversation with almost anyone. He made everyone feel that they were very special. His sense of humor and quick wit brought smiles and laughter to everyone he was with. He will be sorely missed by his family and many friends. As per Wade’s request, no funeral service will be held. A celebration of Wade’s will be held at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be made to Orphans of the Storm or Ross/West View EMS.

    Shannon, Erica and Wade: I am sincerely sorry for your loss. You were all great neighbors.
    Ericka, you got this! He’ll always be w/you, but he wouldn’t have left if he didn’t know you were capable. God Bless you all. 🌹💔

  • George Ashmen

    Heartfelt condolences to Barbara, Shana, Wade, Erika, and all Wade’s family and friends. His sudden passing left me stunned and devastated. As Wade’s college roommate, and close friend for fifty-eight years, we enjoyed probably a billion laughs, escapades galore, and oh my goodness..his stories…priceless! More importantly, Wade was a giver, thoughtful, and as Erika said, a “pick me up” person. His energy and good nature were infectious, Wade was a “foxhole guy”, and there aren’t many of those guys around.
    Perhaps, the greater the grief, the greater the blessing. When this enormous hole-in-my-heart begins to shrink, I’ll realize , even more fully, what a blessing it’s been to have had a friend like Wade for five decades.
    Loved that Guy!! RIP Wade!

    Wade will surely be missed in our community. Outside with the dog(s) he was always ready to have conversations with all who passed by. Sometimes there would be a group of people enjoying the conversations and fellowship and that seemed like an impromptu party.
    Prayers and love to Barb, his wife.
