»Information from the George P. Kalas Funeral Home website.

Wade Scott Gross, 39, died on May 8, 2016, at Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis.

Born on November 4, 1976 in Washington, DC, to Connie and Carl Gross, Wade was a 1995 graduate of Southern High School. In 2002 Wade and his wife, Nicki, started an automobile repossession business. Shortly thereafter, they welcomed their daughter, Savannah, into their world. She was the light of his life. Wade fought every day and suffered immensely to be here for his daughter as long as he possibly could.

He loved all things cars and motorcycles. He enjoyed tools and tinkering in the garage, camping with his family and attending car shows and swap meets whenever and wherever he could find one. Wade will be remembered for his love of life, sense of humor and the many practical jokes he played on his friends.

He is survived by his lifelong partner and wife, Nicki; his daughter, Savannah; his parents, Connie and Carl Gross; his stepdaughter, Amber Wallace; his stepbrothers, Richard (Patricia) and Carl Welch; his friends, Mark, Boo, Greg, James, Wes and Stephanie who stuck by him to the end, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

George P. Kalas Funeral Home, 2973 Solomons Island Road in Edgewater, will hold his funeral service at 12 noon on Thursday, May 12. Interment will follow at Lakemont Memorial Gardens in Davidsonville, MD.
