Carl Thomas Wolf, born on September 3, 1942, in Cleveland, Ohio, went to be with the lord Jesus at the age of 82 on April 25, 2025, in Trenton, Michigan.

Carl's life was a testament to his unwavering devotion to his family and his faith. Everything he did revolved around his loved ones, whom he cherished deeply. He was a man who found great joy in serving others and was very active in his church community, where he expressed his love for Jesus.

He had a passion for model railroads, which often captivated his imagination. Carl also loved sharing his enthusiasm for classic cars with friends and family. Above all, his grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he relished every moment spent with them.

Preceded in death by his beloved grandson, Aaron Harrison, parents Carl Wolf and Mildred Wolf, sisters Carolyn Hager and Mildred Wolf, and nephew Richard Mohney, Carl leaves behind a legacy of love and warmth. He is survived by his devoted wife, Dorothy Jean Wolf; his children, John (Kristin) Wolf, Michael (Jessica) Wolf, and Matthew (Christina) Wolf; and his cherished grandchildren, Carl Asher Wolf, Karim Richard Wolf, Miriam Pauline Wolf, William Ezra Wolf, Annabella Wolf, Madison Wolf, Hannah Wolf, and Carolyn Louise Wolf. Also mourning his loss are his sisters, Sue Wolf and Roberta Lees.

Carl's life touched many, and his gentle spirit and kindness will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
