Victor William “Vic” Wolf, Jr, age 54, died suddenly on Monday evening, March 26, 2012. He was in his home in Blacksburg, VA when he was overcome by anaphylactic shock.

He was born July 20, 1957 in Roanoke, VA to Victor William Wolf Sr. and Nancy Van Rensslaer Wolf. He was an only child. He attended Furman College and graduated in 1979 with a BFA in History, going on to attain a Masters of Divinity degree from Covenant Theological Seminary in 1983. He married Peggy Ann Wilbins in St. Louis on August 13, 1983. Together, they moved back to Roanoke and he became the Senior Pastor of Valley Reformed Presbyterian Church.

Victor and Peggy gave birth to three sons during his time as pastor: Andrew, Richard, and Stephen. In 1994, Victor and his family returned to St. Louis to allow him to earn a Masters of Arts in Counseling 1996 after which they settled back in Virginia, this time in Blacksburg. Vic served as Associate Pastor and Elder for Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, a Licensed Practicing Counselor, and a Therapist for sex offenders.

Vic was a strong and devoted Christian man who took great pains to love and minister to his wife and children. He was always eager to tackle an issue, and had a never-ending wealth of knowledge that seemed to branch out to all subjects. His favorite passions were high-end sport cars (particularly his beloved BMW M3), electronics, music of all kinds and genres, movies, and firearms. His sense of humor was renowned for its offbeat, raucous nature; it was a rare day in the Wolf household that did not hear peals of Vic’s laughter ringing from his office walls as he browsed the Internet for humorous media.

Although he enjoyed life’s simple pleasures, Victor was a truly intelligent and gifted man. He often served as a mentor to young couples alongside Peggy, and was sure to have a Scripturally sound answer for any number of theologically or philosophically difficult questions. He can truly be said to have lived the life of a humble Christian father and husband.

His wife, Peggy; his son, Andrew Lord Wolf and wife Michelle; his son, Richard Franz Wolf; his son, Stephen Spencer Wolf; and his mother, Nancy Van Rensslaer Wolf, survive Victor. A memorial service will be held this Saturday morning (March 31) at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, 2101 Shadowlake Road, Blacksburg, VA 24060. Service will begin at 10:00AM, with Vic’s good friend, TE Kyle Kockler of Gainesville, FL preaching. A reception will follow in the church’s fellowship hall. Memorial gifts should be made to the church who will direct them to ministries approved by the family.
