Resident of the Month

At Wildcat Senior Living, we love seeing the friendships that blossom within our community. One of the most special is the bond between Wade and Jack, two inseparable pals in Wildcat’s Memory Care, our warm and inviting neighborhood for residents living with memory loss.

Wade’s Story.- Born on July 16, 1965, in Holly Hill, South Carolina, Wade has always been happiest outdoors—riding his dirt bike, fishing from one of his handmade boats, or spending time with his loyal black lab, Kane. A true country boy, he grew up near his grandparents’ small store and learned to treasure family, gardening, and Southern cooking. Known for his creativity and craftsmanship, Wade is admired for his hardworking nature and his devotion to loved ones.

Jack’s Story.- Jack was born on July 12, 1937, in Sprague, West Virginia. A proud Navy Veteran, he later retired from a career as a semi-truck driver but always kept busy with odd jobs. Married for 68 years, he is the beloved patriarch of a large family, with three children, eleven grandchildren, and seventeen great-grandchildren. Jack is a devout Christian, a lifelong Ohio State Buckeyes fan, and a man who loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and coaching wrestling—so much so that the Stratford wrestling room is dedicated in his honor.

Together at Wildcat
Though from different generations, Wade and Jack have built a beautiful friendship here at Wildcat. Their laughter, stories, and shared love of the outdoors bring light to everyone around them. Wade and Jack remind us that friendship knows no age and that joy is always better when shared.
