Their bodies were discovered 100 yards apart after a search by the Georgia State Patrol and deputies in Madison County, officials told WSBTV 2.
Wade’s grandfather warned others to stay away from the creek.
‘If you’re going to swim, go to the beaches, go to the lakes. Go somewhere where you got your lifeguards,’ Roger Smart told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Wade’s family has set up a memorial fund to benefit his parents. Donations can be made at any First American Bank location.
