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 man. While Ito survived, Wolff died early the following morning at Harborview Medical Center.
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.
“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.”
While Troy’s tragic death is an occasion for grief, his life is an occasion for celebration and affirmation. He used his time and talents to make a difference in the lives of students and colleagues.
All of us who were blessed by the impact of Troy’s life grieve together today as well as celebrate his life. For you students, here is a link to a facebook community of Troy’s friends. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TroyWolff/
