Ian David Wolfson Mt. Pleasant - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ian David Wolfson on March 10, 2020 at the age of 50 of sudden heart failure. Born on January 4, 1970 in Rutland, Vermont, he was a resident of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, where he lived with his wife, Susan Lewis, and her son, Marcus Lewis. Ian grew up in Broomall, Pennsylvania with his parents, Eileen and Mitchell, and his sisters, Rachel and Jessica. He graduated from Marple-Newtown High School and earned his bachelor's degree in finance from James Madison University. After graduating college, Ian went on to a 25-year career in financial services, holding various positions of increasing responsibility with firms based in Connecticut, New York, North Carolina, and South Carolina. More recently, Ian had shifted his professional passion to a new, successful career in alternative energy sales. Ian will be remembered as a husband, son, brother, friend, and colleague who was extremely kind and optimistic, always generous, and reliably friendly to everybody who entered his orbit. Beyond his large circle of family and friends, Ian was passionate about practicing yoga and spending time outdoors, enjoyed hosting and entertaining friends, and loved taking care of the family's Boykin spaniels, Fisher and Dewey. Ian is survived by his wife, Susan Lewis and her son, Marcus Lewis, his mother, Eileen Wolfson and his sisters, Rachel and Jessica. A celebration of Ian's life will be planned for later this Spring.

Smart, good looking, great athlete, fierce competitor and an all around nice young man. This is the way I remember him as a nineteen year old, and I never had the opportunity of knowing him as an adult; however, from everything I have read and been told he only improved over time. My oldest grandson is very much like him, and he turned out to be quite a special human being. Love and prayers to his wife, his mother, his two sisters and the rest of his family and friends.

I have so many fond childhood memories of Ian, from playing in the backyard to being little league and high school teammates. His smile, friendliness, and sense of humor were infectious. Sending love and condolences to all of his loved ones.

There was nothing better than getting a call from Ian. He would bust your chops make you laugh and do anything he could to help!! The good ones often get taken too early. RIP!!!

I knew Ian from time spent with our dogs at Alhambra hall. He always so friendly and easy to talk to about sports, current events and especially the best places to eat around town. He really loved his dogs Fisher and the newly acquired Dewey who he just doted over. His presence will be sorely missed and I offer my deepest condolences.
