Rolf Edward Frostad, 40, passed away November 12, 2011 at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue, Washington. Born April 11, 1971, in Anchorage, Alaska, he was adopted at birth. He attended Service High School in Anchorage and in 1990 received his diploma through classes at the University of Alaska at Anchorage.

Rolf worked as a contractor and then employee for Weyerhaeuser for 11 years and was currently Technical Director Audio/Visual Technical Services in Federal Way, WA.

His family wrote, "Rolf will be missed by all who knew him. He was dedicated to his job but his true passion was camping and doing things with his son Drake. He loved helping prepare for school projects. His mother remembers he was always ready to help her or someone else who needed a hand. He loved his time in Alaska, fishing, clam digging and just hanging out by a fire on the beach. His love and dry sense of humor will be so very dearly missed."

He was preceded in death by his father Edward E. Frostad of Anchorage, Alaska, He is survived by his son Drake Frostad; mother Donna Avery of Issaquah, WA; sisters Lisa Frostad and husband Ronald Thomas of Sammamish, WA; Kathy Schroeder and husband Steve of Sammamish, WA; stepmom Joyce Frostad of Anchorage, Ak and precious nieces and nephews Annikka, Erik, Baden and Alyse.
