David "Wolfie" Charles Wolfrom, age 70, of Westerville, Ohio passed away peacefully on October 17, 2023 after a 5 year battle with PSP/Parkinsonism. He was born in Columbus, Ohio on April 27, 1953, the son of Charles "Bud" and Sue Wolfrom. He's survived by his wife of 40 years, Maureen "Molly" (McQuade) Wolfrom; his children, Heidi (Scott) Winkler and Amy (Evan) Burghes; his grandchildren, Audrey Winkler, Blake and Austin Burghes, and Hazel, their basset hound. He was the second oldest of 4 children and is survived by John, Scott (Gayle), and Bob (Elizabeth), numerous nieces and nephews, as well as many extended family members. David graduated from (Thomas) Worthington High School in 1971 and went on to play football at Ohio University. After graduating from OU in 1975, he dedicated 35 years to the Westerville City School District. He began his tenure teaching social studies and later earned his masters at The Ohio State University to become a guidance counselor. He coached football, wrestling, and track, refereed volleyball, and organized the ski club, mock trial, and student council. He had a passion for mentoring and made it his mission to have an impact on every student's education. After retiring in 2011, he could be spotted shanking balls on the golf course, putting in miles on the elliptical at the Westerville rec center, catching a Bengals game, or turning the basement into "David's House of Rock". Wherever he was he always had a smile on his face, and anyone he met walked away a friend. He will be missed by many.
