Xander A place to help keep Xander Fans updated on Xander's health care status, and needs. We thank everyone for their continuous prayers and support!!

Xander Thomas Wade born 4-13-08

His life inspired us. Xander had half a heart at birth...surgeries, feeding tubes, hospital stays...his body never followed the rules in fact more often than not his body was known for throwing the rulebook right in our faces. He was later diagnosed with Allgrove 4A it is a 1 in a million diagnosis, yep you heard that right. But people don't pour $$ or support into a disease no one has...so, basically it would mean we had a name of an illness to shoot our nerf darts at, or if you are Xander you build villains out of lego and name them Capt Allgrove and throw legos at him. Xander would go on to become an Hon. Wylie Police Officer (a job he took very seriously!)
He was a friend to everyone he met. I'm not even kidding, he thanked nurses for setting IVs. Always a gentleman he would kiss a lady's hand and escort her to the door. Xander loved BIG. September 5, 2016
Xander having lived his whole life held his sister's hand and as she sang to him of how Good our Father is we walked him to Jesus.....
but life didn't stop there. Grief is far from easy, loving all the way to heaven everyday and carrying him with us are things we are still learning.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Ms Jeni Summers.

Ms Jeni was Xander’s homebound teacher from pre-K to 3rd grade. Her compassion, unwavering dedication to do whatever it would take to help Xander learn is a testament to the educator she is. Her students are the unseen gems from the hallways of Wylie ISD facing challenges that can feel relentless. She bravely came into Xander’s world and brought the excitement of reading, math (his fav was math ninja) science and even the idea of a robot she heard Region 10 had that would later connect Xander to school in a new unique way. It seemed only fitting she would be with us today as Xander was honored at graduation.

Thank you Jeni for loving our Xander so well. You are teacher of the year in our book!

Class of 2026
When Xander was born there was a cute bulletin board in the hall that read “class of 2026” I remember thinking how absolutely far away that was….it also never crossed my mind then he wouldn’t be here for it.

But Wylie ISD his precious teachers, friends and of course our Wylie Police Officers make sure he is remembered so beautifully.

Last week we had the absolute precious honor to attend the Senior reception at Watkins Elementary, then the Wylie East Senior awards where we awarded 4 recipients the Xander Wade Memorial Scholarship. 4 students we got to bless as they take this next step in life. That’s pretty awesome friends!!

Xander’s name doesn’t come home on certificates or diplomas but knowing it can be spoken in a way that means we are helping students on their journey….that fills our hearts in such a powerful way. (Even if his name ended up misspelled on the checks lolol)

I hope his classmates know how much he loves them. Thank you Wylie Police Association for all you do to make this happen. Thank you Wylie ISD, we have some of the best kids in this district, thank you Watkins Elementary for inviting us to the reception.

Thank you all our Xander fans for remembering, for cloud pics, messages, and sweet hugs. Xander would tell us, “I love you to the moon and OUT cause that is further than moon and back.”

We love you all….to the moon, and out.

Happy last day of school Class of 2026!

School starts soon...Xander's precious classmates, friends, playmates, bot buddies will be Seniors. This is his senior year.
How did we get here???

Milestones make me miss him more. This summer was filled with sweet moments with family. Cousins on the Applewhite side tower over me and mention Xander so sweetly. He would be 17 in the middle of all the fun I'm sure. The second oldest of all the sweet Wade cousin grand babies I'm more than certain he would hold their little hands, tell them great stories of dragons and how much Jesus loves them.

Big sister Eliana acts more like an adult than child. She plans for her future, and prays fiercely, her faith strong she takes on each challenge with such grace and hope. Her boyfriend Gavin makes us proud serving our country in the Army. He joined us for a few weeks recently while on leave. It is so fun watching them together. I'm sure Xander would give him a hard time, they would bond over movies, and great books. He would certainly approve of the gentleman Gavin is to her. Goodness knows Xander set the bar high when it came to treating her "like a princess".

Asher our inquisitive, creative, never meets a stranger 10yo...well he made the decision to follow in believers baptism this summer and asked his sister to baptize him....as a mom...that moment left me speechless. Can you just imagine the giggles from heaven as Xander told everyone there about his Eliana Wade and Asher!

So....time just keeps going. The skies never fail to give us a reminder to keep our eyes up and play I spy in the clouds.
Ryan and I pray fervently every single day for clarity on this journey. To walk humbly in faith, trusting Him to hold us when it hurts and help us laugh big like Jesus every day.

Love you all. 💚💙

Happy Heavenly Birthday Xander Thomas Wade!
We celebrated all weekend. The beautiful 8yrs of birthdays together and the precious 9 we have celebrated with him in heaven...17 yrs of loving our dance partying, fight song singing sweetheart.

This year we are excited to have Xander's legacy shining bright all around us. Our Wylie Police Assoc is hard at work to bless other students in his honor. We have spoken of him often and much at the Wylie Police banquet and Wylie Education Foundation Gala. No doubt, Xander's laughter and love is all around us.

To our Xander fans please consider donating to the Xander Wade Memorial Scholarship, our hearts desire is to continue to positively impact others as Xander so beautifully impacted us all.
💚💙

September 5
How in the world did you cram a whole great big life into 8 small years? You took us on grand adventures in hospital rooms and front yards, finding dragons in the clouds. We learned to adjust and adapt from pretending with food cause you couldn't eat to snowball fights in the dining room cause your body couldn't handle the cold.
I watched you be a gentleman as your sister taught you to kiss the hands of ladies, and that you did winning the hearts of many. I watched you beam as you were made an officer, you were so very proud to be apart of our great Wylie PD.

8 whole beautiful years and in a blink it all just stopped....and we would never ever, ever be the same again.

Xander, we miss you every single day. Asher plays with your legos just like you wanted and Eliana is still filling our world with beautiful music as you always admired and said she would. You are right, they are awesome! We speak of you often, lobster stays close by, we see your laughter in the clouds, and the twinkle of your smile in all the blues and greens, and yes I promise there are still dance parties as you requested.

But today...we ache, he grieve, we miss you and we long for the day that we can be together again....today the sky is a little more grey, and everything feels a bit more heavy.
My goodness sweet boy what a blessing you are to us all. Your legacy is tremendous.

Your prayers for our family as we remember and grieve are so appreciated.

💚💙💚💙So very grateful.
