Charles Wolf Obituary

Charles Edward Wolf, 67, of Middletown passed away peacefully Sunday October 10, 2021 at Frederick Health Hospital.

He was born December 21, 1953 in Frederick, MD, the middle child of Cyrus Wolf and Miriam Kepler Wolf.

Charlie was High School class president while excelling in band, track, and soccer. After graduating Frederick Community College with an Associates degree he moved to North Carolina where he shared his love of the outdoors as a youth camp counselor. Returning to Middletown, Maryland for a 10-year class reunion he met his wife of Jeanne Lutz, who he married in 1983. For the next 45 years, Charlie used his charismatic personality as a successful RV salesmen and manager. After his retirement in 2019 he enjoyed his passion of knife making, perfecting his craft and acting as VP of the William F. Moran Knife Foundation.

Charlie's greatest ability in life was the connection he could make with a complete stranger. Charlie's life was dedicated to supporting others and sharing his faith in everything he did. He was a devoted husband of 37 years. As a father, he was caring and always present. He helped coach his son's sports, planned cross-country family trips, and was encouraging every step of the way. As a grandfather, he was even better. He was always happy to teach, play, and support his grandchildren in whatever way was needed.

Charlie is survived by his wife Jeanne Wolf; brother, Dale Wolf; brother, Darrell Wolf; son, Chase Wolf; son, Nick Wolf; and grandchildren, Xander and Rowan Wolf. He was preceded in death by his parents Cyrus and Miriam.

Visitation will be on Friday (10/15/21) from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday (10/16/21) at 10 a.m. at Saint Mark's Lutheran Church in Smithsburg, MD. A funeral service will be celebrated Saturday, October 16, at 11 a.m. at Saint Mark's Lutheran Church in Smithsburg, MD. Interment will be made in the adjoining church cemetery. The family welcomes family and friends to a reception at the Church following the service.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Frederick Rescue Mission, 419 W. South St., Frederick, MD 21701

Donald B. Thompson Funeral Home, Middletown, is in charge of arrangements.

It is hard to believe you are gone, Charlie. Jesus called you home way too early in my opinion, but you dancing with Him now, which we all look forward to doing. You will be missed here on earth by so many. I cherish your friendship and will remember our fun times together.

Rodger and I have such good memories. He sold us our first motor home and always came out and talk with us while our RV was serviced. We would get caught up on our classmates and family. I am truly shocked by his passing. Our sincere sympathy to his family.

Charlie was always a guy you could count on, straight up. He did not pull any punches. To his credit, he was outspoken & confident, yet he respected everyone and tried his best to honor others without compromising his own integrity and values. He ALWAYS initiated a strong welcome to anyone he encountered and helped to make others feel that they mattered more than they believed. I haven´t seen Charlie since the occasional interaction back when we would see each other at our kids school events, but it was always one of those times you cherished later and couldn´t get enough of. He truly was a PEOPLE person and always invested his love that Christ had for him in everyone he met. Although Charlie had limitations just like everyone else, he would be the first to admit it and seek forgiveness for any wrong he thought he might be guilty of... and his conscience would not rest until he had. That kind of humility is rare and a wonderful example and testimony of his desire to put others and God ahead of himself. Any of his limitations pale in comparison to his natural and developed gifts & strength´s and countless strivings to make everyone´s day a better day. He was truly a BLESSING to mankind and a testimony to his parents investment in him. My sincere condolences to Jeanne, Chase, Nick and all the rest of Charlie´s family...and may the God of all strength and comfort give you peace, mercy and hope as you trust to rest in his loving arms! Love you all, Karl & Kathy Koops

Charlie was a year ahead of me in high school but we played soccer and participated in band together. He was a solid athlete and musician and always a very humble, kind and friendly soul to everyone around him, even us young punks. He was a mentor to us in many ways. Really sorry to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences to his family.
