Wolfgang passed away peacefully at his home in Prince Rupert, BC with his family and his dog Dolly by his side.

Wolfgang enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, gardening and gathering firewood for heating his home. He was well known by his coworkers and family for doing daily exercises and up to 50 push-ups and sit-ups every morning. He was always encouraging folks to trust Jesus as their Lord and Saviour and Tithing.
