Aaron Fagan Whitewolf

July 16, 1972 ~ March 16, 2015

Aaron Fagan Whitewolf, 42, of Norman, Oklahoma passed away on March 16, 2015 after a long illness.

He was born in Washington, D.C. to Cynne (Kelly) and Fagan Whitewolf. Aaron attended elementary and high school in Falmouth, Virginia. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma, received numerous degrees including meteorology and journalism.

Until his illness, he continued college studying towards a degree in Public Administration. He worked as an office manager for Office Max in Norman, OK. An avid soccer fan for over 25 years, he was known throughout the state of Oklahoma where he served as a state referee, state instructor, and referee assignor for all levels.

Aaron began his love of soccer when he began playing as a 5 year old in Virginia. By 1985, he had moved up to refereeing games. From 1990 to 2010 Aaron served as the area referee and instructor for the Norman Youth Soccer Association (NYSA) of Oklahoma. He was instrumental in advancing many young junior referees to attaining Oklahoma’s highest referee grade. During these same years, Aaron was the referee assignor for approximately 60 high schools while working closely with their athletic directors. At the end of each soccer season Aaron was always consulted on who was best capable of refereeing the high school final games. As one can see, if it had something to do with soccer, Aaron was involved. One of Aaron's favorite referee students was his daughter Raina, who now referees in the state of Missouri while attending college. As a yardstick of measurement while in the hospital, Aaron was still assigning referees to games.

He is survived by his daughter Raina Melvin of Columbia, MO; his parents and brother Kent Whitewolf of Falmouth, VA; grandmother Mary L. Pittman of La Plata, MD; aunt Nancy Williams and husband Jack of Solomons, MD; aunt Roberta (Bert) Farmer of Elgin, OK; uncle Franklin Whitewolf and wife Melinda of Lawton, OK; Raina’s mother Andrea Melvin of Norman, OK, many cousins and family members, and hundreds of soccer players, referees, and coaches across Oklahoma.

He is preceded in death by grandparents R. Stanley Whitewolf, Charles M. Kelly, and Annabelle (Caddo) Tosee; step-grandparents, Joseph F. Pittman and McEvans “Mack” Tosee; and aunt Janet (Kelly) Bell.

Funeral services will be 10:00AM, Monday, March 23, 2015 at Havenbrook Funeral Home Chapel in Norman, Oklahoma. Interment will follow at 3:00PM at the Deyo Mission Cemetery in Lawton, Oklahoma.
