Born on October 4, 1988, in Maury County, Tennessee, Quade was the son of Sharon White Wells and the late Thomas Eugene Lunn. From a young age, he had a love for soccer, horseback riding, motocross, and building and racing lawnmowers. As he grew older, his passion evolved into racing cars, motorcycles – anything with wheels that he could get behind.
Known for his vibrant personality, Quade was truly the life of any gathering, often reminding others with his favorite motto, ‘YOLO’ (You Only Live Once). Whether he was rock climbing, racing at Jump and Run Derbies, spending time on the river, or driving back roads with his favorite music, Quade embraced life fully. His greatest joy was spending time with his daughter, who he proudly cherished above all else.
Quade was a devoted Christian who grew up in the church and held a steadfast faith in Christ. His belief in God’s care and guidance remained unwavering throughout his life.
