NATHAN RAY WOLFE
Sept. 11, 1958-May 3, 2018
Nathan Ray Wolfe, 59, Goldsboro, completed his journey home early Thursday morning to the welcoming words, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
He was born Sept. 11, 1958, in Johnson City, Tenn., to the late Mollie Page Wolfe.
Nathan had worked with Cheney Brothers Inc. before his sickness.
Nathan was an unusually fine man. He was adored by his family for whom he was a source of joy and strength, but also by countless others, from old friends to new acquaintances, all of whom were struck by his quiet generosity, his kind and unassuming intelligence and his innate courteousness.
More than anything else, Nathan has been devoted to his wife.
Nathan loved The First Pentecostal Holiness Church, and was a dedicated and faithful servant.
He had a large extended circle of family and friends with the Grill Team and the Hospitality Team, and they were all very special to him.
Nathan and Melissa had also been faithful members of the Oak Ridge Church of God of Prophecy for many years.
His passion was golf, basketball and collegiate sports, especially Tennessee.
He will be missed, but greatly remembered.
