KALEN TODD WOLFE
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Kalen Todd Wolfe. He fought the good fight, he has finished his race, and we have kept our faith. On Friday, October 15, 2021, as a beautiful rainbow appeared over Cincinnati, Kalen finished his race at his young age of 42. His family doesn’t want to remember the end but in how he lived his life.
He was born on March 22, 1979, the first born of Todd and Debbie (nee Stone) Wolfe. He graduated East Central High School class of 1997. Kalen worked at many pizza places around Harrison for 20 years, mainly at Domino’s. He then started working as a technician for Geotechnology, LLC. Kalen transitioned to P&G and was with them for the past four years as a plant technician. His pride and joy was his family starting with his loving wife Kristie Johannigman whom he married June 18, 2004, and his beautiful daughters Kyra, Kailey, and Karlie. They loved traveling together as a family to Tennessee and Michigan. The fond memories of their Domino games and the simplicity of spending time as a family will be cherished. If you knew Kalen you know that he loved to laugh, golfing, poker and his love for fireworks. His favorite holiday was Halloween, and he loved Scooby Doo. Kalen also loved to go fishing with his daughters and his dad. However, every family gathering was fun especially when he brought Bean Boozled.
The memories he shared will be treasured by his loving wife: Kristie; cherished daughters: Kyra, Kailey & Karlie; beloved parents: Todd and Debbie Wolfe; dear sister: Kimber (Richie) Nare; brother: Danny (Sarah) Kraus; loving grandparents: Walter Lee (the late Helen) Wolfe and Victoria May Knight and the late Doris & Roy Stone; Aunts and Uncles: Dawn (Don) Maucher, Kelly (Linda) Wolfe, and Jana (Jimmy) Bunch; Mother-in-law and Father-in-law: Tom and Lois Johannigman; sister-in-law: Jennifer (Randy) Kramer; brothers-in-law: Michael (Mollie) and Craig (Rachel) Johannigman. He was also a loving uncle and a wonderful cousin to many.
