David Ray Wolf

David Ray Wolf of Mansfield entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Saturday evening, January 11, 2020, at Cleveland Clinic at the age of 66. He was born May 10, 1953, in Mansfield, Ohio, to the late Raymond C. and Joanne R. (Altman) Wolf.

He was a former owner of Wolf Plumbing and Heating, a family owned business serving Mansfield and Richland County for over 50 years. David retired from Standard Plumbing and Heating in June 2018 with over a decade of service. He enjoyed woodworking and furniture building and created many treasures for family and friends. His work ethic was second to none and he could work circles around men half his age. David was a ham radio enthusiast for over 40 years and enjoyed flying his drone, especially at Mohican State Park.

He married the love of his life, Joyce Ann Clark on June 9, 1973, and they created a warm and loving home. David was a family man who leaves a legacy of love, acceptance, and spiritual strength for all to remember. A quiet and insightful man, when David spoke, his words carried weight. His integrity was evident in his daily life as was his servant's heart. He was a member of Journey Life Center where he faithfully served as an elder for 30 years. David put his faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ, and walked the path of righteousness in His name.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife of over 46 years, Joyce Wolf; son, Jeffrey D. (Christal) Wolf of Cincinnati; daughter, Jodi C. (Christopher) Rouse of Cleveland, TN; five grandchildren, Kyelei Victoria (Ayden) Quinn, Seth Ryan Wolf, Chace Andrew Wolf, Chloe Anne Rouse and Nathaniel Ray Delaine Rouse; a sister, Carolyn (Ken) Holmquist of Chattanooga, TN; brothers-in-law, Tim (Stacy) Clark of Mansfield and James (Alicia) Clark of SC; a sister-in-law, Christine (Dan) Hunter of SC; mother-in-law, Betty R. Clark of SC; and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two children, Jennifer Lynn Wolf and Ryan Patrick Wolf; two grandchildren, Kailei Wolf and James Rouse; and his father-in-law, Clarence Clark.
