A celebration of life for Troy Wolff will be at 2pm, Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013 at Shoreline Community College.
The event will be in the Pagoda Student Union Building (PUB) Main Dining Room, 16101 Greenwood Ave N. Shoreline 98133. The service is intended for friends, family and supporters of Wolff to share thoughts and memories of his life. The family requests no cameras or other recording devices be used during the service.
Wolff was a beloved and respected co-worker and English instructor at Shoreline for 17 years. He was chair of the English department at the time of his death.
Wolff, 46, died Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013. Wolff was walking with his partner, Kristin Ito, in the Pioneer Square area of Seattle following a Sept. 13 Sounders match at Century Link Field when they were attacked by a man. While Ito survived, Wolff died early the following morning at Harborview Medical Center.
“This is an unbelievably tragic loss,” said Interim President Daryl Campbell. “Troy was loved by students, loved by his fellow faculty members, loved by all who knew him.”
Troy Wolff opened the world of English to me and made me fall in love with writing. I'm devastated to learn he was the stabbing victim in Pioneer Square. Troy thank you for your joy of teaching, pithy lessons, and hilarious margin comments. Your legacy goes on in your students.
