Carl Leonard Wolfsberger peacefully passed away in his sleep on December 1, 2018, at his home in Dallas, Texas. Carl was born on October 26, 1960, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Don and Joyce Wolfsberger. Carl graduated high school from The St. Louis Country Day School, then from Southern Methodist University with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and a minor degree in Psychology. Carl was the most incredible father, brother and friend to everyone who knew him - young and old. Carl was a pied-piper who directed many great adventures. He was the producer of wonderful family scavenger hunts, all family activities and, in the ‘80s helped create the CAM Bash. He was the creator of "ambience" and fun wherever he went! Carl was an avid golfer who, at the age of 16, was the winner of the Midwest Regional Long Drive Contest. At 17, he earned a spot in the National Long Drive contest where he placed 13th, but hit a ball in the rough; he would have placed third. He would always draw an admiring crowd while hitting a bucket of golf balls at the Old Warson C.C. driving range. He and his late grandfather, Carl J. Reith, loved the game of golf. They enjoyed many great days hosting friends at the Augusta National Masters tournament in April each year. Carl was a member of American Mensa, a non-profit, high IQ society and an early member of the McHeadley Society. His brilliance and quick wit was contagious and allowed him to be the problem solver for his pals. If you knew Carl, you would feel like the most important person in the room; he was a great listener with a very kind heart and soul. Few knew that he was a talented painter. He loved boating, deep sea fishing and diving. He always paid a visit to the Serpentarium of Miami when he headed back to his second home at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida. Carl even dove with the "Greatest Treasure Hunter", Mel Fisher, who helped salvage the famed sunken ship, Atocha. He will be missed by many. Carl is survived by his beloved daughter, Kennedy Nicole Wolfsberger, his brother Clark Wolfsberger, sister-in-law, Wendy Wolfsberger, nephews, Clark and Jack Wolfsberger and niece Greta Wolfsberger, all of St. Louis, Missouri; his sister, Courtney Wolfsberger Parmenter, nephews Hunter Carrier, Dylan Parmenter and niece, Maggie Parmenter. A celebration of life will be at Highland Park United Methodist Church at 10am, Saturday, December 8, 2018.
