Wade Alexander Schisler

October 20, 2021 — August 12, 2025

Orange, Texas

Wade Alexander Schisler passed away peacefully on August 12, 2025, after a courageous battle with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD). Wade was born on October 20, 2021, in Beaumont, and from the very beginning, he brought boundless joy, laughter, and light to all who knew him.

He is survived by his loving parents, Adam Schisler (and girlfriend, Angela Miller) and Ashley Schisler (and boyfriend, Michael Wetuski) as well as his cherished younger brother, Dakota. Wade is also survived by grandfathers William Schisler and David Gagneux and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will carry his memory forever in their hearts.

Wade was welcomed into heaven by those who went before him, including his beloved grandmothers Dyann Schisler, Donna Gagneux, great great aunt Gina Evoritt and grandfather Russell Elliott along with other family members who now hold him close again.

Despite the challenges of his illness, Wade's spirit remained unshakable. His smile could light up any room, and his determination and resilience inspired everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to all his nurses and hospice team for their support and comfort during this journey.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the MLD Foundation to help fund research and provide resources for families affected by this rare disease: https://mld.foundation/.
