Michael J. Wolf, age 70, of Sunman, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2022, at his residence, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born July 20, 1951, in Richmond to Lloyd and Wilma Aspley Wolf. After graduating from Brookville High School, Michael served in the United States Army Reserves. On Sept. 9, 1972, he married Melissa Brackney at St. Michael Catholic Church in Brookville.

Michael was always active in his community. After obtaining his associate’s degree from Indianapolis School of Mortuary Science, he worked for more than 23 years at Cook's Funeral Home as a funeral director. He served on the Sunman Dearborn Community School Board and after retiring from Cook's, worked for Bright Elementary. Michael and his wife were part of the founders of Sunman Area Life Squad and volunteered for several years. He was a member of Sunman American Legion and was always a great supporter of his community.

Michael enjoyed wood-working and spent a lot of his time at Tucker's Custom Woodworking in Sunman. He also enjoyed music and fishing, but most of all, loved his family and spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke, they were words of wisdom.

Michael is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Melissa Wolf; daughter and fiancé, Shannon (Bill Dixon) Wolf of Sunman; son, Jared (Melissa) Wolf of St. Leon; son, Andy (Ashley) Wolf of Burlington, Kentucky; nine grandchildren: Kaylee Harpring, Victoria Harpring, Makenna Dixon, Kiersten Dixon, Kennedie Dixon, Josie Wolf, Ellie Wolf, Mason Wolf and Max Wolf; and one brother, Gary Wolf of Ft. Myers, Florida. Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd and Wilma Wolf, and brother Ricky Wolf.

To honor and respect Michael's wishes, the family has chosen direct cremation. Friends and family are invited to show their love, support, and celebrate Michael's life, Saturday, March 12, 2 to 5 p.m. at Cook Rosenberger Funeral Home, 109 Vine St., Sunman. A private burial will take place at St. Paul Cemetery. Memorial contributions can be directed to Sunman Area Life Squad or Sunman Fire Department.
