Allan Merlin Wolf was born on April 13, 1958, in Marshfield, to Norman F. and Monica A. (nee Bangart) Wolf. He was raised and received his education in Loyal, attending school at St. Anthony Parochial School in Loyal, and graduating from Loyal High School in 1976. After high school, Allan attended Western Wisconsin Technical College and graduated with a degree in commercial arts. He held various jobs, including the Loyal Canning Company and at the family business, Wolf Sawmill. In 1983, Allan was hired and worked at Weyerhaeuser-Masonite in Marshfield. He continued to work there for 37 years until the present time. Allan had many interests, but loved art and used his talents every chance he could. He was known for designing many Wolf shirts and posters for anniversaries and birthdays. Allan loved spending time with the family, always pulling pranks on those least expecting. He was the instigator in the family, and his humor was enjoyed by all. Allan also enjoyed gardening, hunting, making firewood, going to the woods with his 4-wheeler, bird watching, and going to the casinos. He had a great love for animals, especially his pets Babe and Ginger.

He is survived by his parents: Norman and Monica Wolf of Spencer; five brothers and nine sisters: Joseph (Debra) Wolf of Medford, Marlene (John) Holdal of Marshfield, Lorraine (David) Deegan of Loyal, Edward (Annmarie) Wolf of Jim Falls, Theresa (Devery) Hilt of Stratford, Kay (Keith) Raatz of Spencer, Lyle (Julie) Wolf of Medford, Donna (Robert) Olson of Spencer, Debra (Jody) Brecht of Loyal, Tina (Mike) Berres of Loyal, Cindy (Brian) Benz of Loyal, Daniel (Jessica) Wolf of Greenwood, Barbara (Kevin) Dampier of Park Falls and William Wolf of Medford; 90 nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews; and other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Anthony and Mercedes Bangart, and Frank and Mildred Wolf; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Allan also had a beloved dog, Sassy, that died on Jan. 20, 2020.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are being accepted in Allan’s name to St. Anthony Catholic Church or the Clark County Humane Society.
