Wade Forncrook

Wade Charles Forncrook, 60, Wisconsin Rapids, died on Thursday, January 2, 2025. He was born September 29, 1964 to Eugene “Sonny” and Irene (Sutrick) Forncrook in Oconto Falls, WI. Wade graduated from Oconto Falls High School with the class of 1983. He worked many jobs over the years, but most recently for Waste Management as a Route Manager.

He had a great love for life and enjoyed many hobbies, each of which was given his full attention and great dedication. A few of Wade’s favorite hobbies include collecting Invicta watches, cigars, motorcycles, knives, guns, woodworking, welding, and hanging out with his doxie, Gus.

He was known to do things “Wade’s Way”, and rarely could anyone convince him to do things differently. After Sonny’s death, Wade adopted his father’s favorite saying, “I’ll decide.”

Wade is survived by two sons, Ian (Kira) Forncrook, Taran Roth; best friend and copilot, Gus; two sisters, Susan (Dave) Anderson, Beth (Rick Holterman) Buss; longtime companion, Linda Noreika; and many nieces and a nephew.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Sonny and Irene, and doxie, Cash.

Friends and family are invited to join for a visitation after 1:00 PM on Saturday, January 11, 2025 at Jones Funeral Service in Oconto Falls until the time of service. A Celebration of Life will follow at 3:00 PM.
