Wolfgang Gustaveson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A graduate of Maine East, Wolf was a Freshman at SIU majoring in Automotive Technology, but most importantly of all he was an incredible son, brother, cousin, grandson, nephew, and friend to many. He loved cars and anything with an engine, snowboarding, and baseball. Wolf had a contagious laugh, lit up a room, and had a knack for making others feel comfortable and welcome. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. Wolf was the most hardworking and strong individual, he was loyal, loved learning, and loved a challenge. He stood up for what was right, despite the consequences. Wolf not only found but created community and connections wherever he was – be it on the field, with his friends and family, helping others, or tinkering with machines.
Wolf's kindness, his heart, his commitment, and his humor were evident in how he engaged life and engaged with people all around him. He has touched the lives of so many and will be dearly missed and forever remembered. Car Parts.

I just recently found out that Wolf has passed away. My heartfelt condolences to the family. As the retired Field School librarian, I remember when Wolf and Grace came to Field. Wolf was a very smart and intelligent boy and you knew that when he grew up he would be doing exceptional things with his life. Wolf was a kind hearted soul and would offer help to those around. It is such a shame that a young man with an incredible future would not able to achieve his goals..such a tragic loss. Once again my heart goes out to the family and may the memories you of Wolf, help you get through this difficult time.
