Darren T. Wade

June 7, 1981 - April 18, 2019

Darren T. Wade, 37 of Chester, PA succumbed to his long battle with Sickle Cell Anemia on Thursday, April 18, 2019 in Philadelphia. Born on June 7, 1981 in Chester and raised in Delaware, he is survived by his mother and step-father, Marcia (Wade) and David Hammond, his sister Loven Wade-Nicholson (Derek), his aunt, Donna Wade-Armstrong (Bruce), his step-brothers, Daw’ud Lord (Teena) and Alladin Lord (Melissa) and his step-sister, Anya Munce-Jarrett (Cedric), and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. When Darren was a child, he wanted to be like any other child his age, regardless of the pain and complications. He was allowed to do whatever he was capable of doing and did it well. His greatest joys were gatherings with his family, gaming and collecting anime figures. In his adult years as the disease progressed and caused more complications, he found comfort in his family and friends until he couldn’t. He was tired of the battle, he fought long and hard. The LORD received him and freed him of his pain. Please remember Darren’s laughter, smile and sense of humor. Remember his kindness and loving spirit. Remember the good times and cherish the memories. A celebration of Darren’s life will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at 325 Pusey St., Chester, PA in the community room at Pentecostal Square from 1:00-3:00PM
