Alexander Keys Wolf

Alex Wolf, 18, was a 2018 graduate of Burlingame High School, where he was energized by STEM subjects and the challenge of AP classes. Fluent in Italian, he traveled with the Italian class to Italy during spring break of his junior year. Alex loved running. He competed on the BHS track and cross-country teams and trained in the mountains of Peru. He also loved the out of doors. When he observed a need for ongoing maintenance of trails throughout the Bay Area, he established the Trail Stewardship Club during his freshman year and led it throughout high school. His job as a support person at Summit Bicycles fostered a love of bikes. He immersed himself in the tools of the biking trade and achieved his bike maintenance certification at the age of 15. Alex's strong work ethic was evident in all aspects of his life. Camp Lanakila in Fairlee, Vermont was where Alex spent his summers from 2010 to 2014. He spent significant time working in the Lanakila woodshop, swimming in Lake Morey, and hiking the Green Mountains. Closer to home, Alex could often be found at the Burlingame Public Library, where he explored the full catalog of science and technology titles. Alex is survived by his parents, Andrew and Drewry Wolf; his brother, Spencer; his sister, Emme; and his beloved dog, Dood. He is also greatly missed by grandparents, Janet and John Simpkinson of Cincinnati and Elizabeth Wolf of Palo Alto, along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Burlingame Library Foundation or the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California.
