He is predeceased by his first Love, his Mom, Hazel Branscome Carter; Niece Amie Carter; Grandparents; Arnold (Dad) and Frances (Mom) Branscome; and Uncle Arnold (Arnie) Branscome
He loved his work as a barber having built a great reputation and finally has fulfilled his lifelong dream of owning his own barbershop, Woody’s of Palm Bay. He was forever grateful to the Woodley Family especially our best man Bobby Woodley for standing by him and their support.

He was excited that the trucking company with his son Glenn was becoming a growing company.

He enjoyed spending time with friends and family, riding his Harley, fishing and telling fish stories “No picture no fish”, golfing, boating, hunting and traveling.

He will be laid to rest in South Carolina where he loved to spend time with family.

Celebration of life will be announced by the family at a later date.

Arrangements are under the direction of Millennium Cremation Service. Condolences may be shared online at www.millenniumcremationservice.com.

Lost another friend to this horrible disease. My barber since I moved to palm bay. Many wholesome, thoughtful, and memorable conversations in this man’s chair. You will be missed. Never had a barber that I frequented in my life, I can’t explain it, we didn’t say much and when we did it was always straight and to the point and both if us understood with few words. I just felt comfortable with him. Wish we could have gotten closer Wade. Thank you sir, for your solid advice for myself and my business.

I visited Mr. Wade once a month for over 15 years. It always started with his smile and a slap of the chair as a non verbal cue to “Have a seat”. A caring hand on my shoulder…idle conversation…and a genuine handshake at the end. Funny how a simple task of getting your hair cut could be so rewarding. I will miss you my friend!

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
