Aaron Woloff – A Life of Friends, Family, Food and Fun.

Aaron Woloff was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Stanley and Judith Woloff. He grew up in Center City with his brother Isaac and attended Julia R. Masterman High School, followed by the College of Wooster in Ohio.

From a young age, Aaron was full of energy and passion. He was a talented athlete, competing on both the collegiate swimming and track teams. Whether rollerblading through the quad at Wooster or weaving through Manhattan’s Upper West Side, he embraced movement, momentum, and life with unshakable enthusiasm. A devoted Philadelphia sports fan, Aaron remained fiercely loyal to his beloved Eagles and Phillies wherever life took him—cherishing unforgettable moments like attending Super Bowl LIX and celebrating with the city at the Eagles’ victory parade in 2018.

After college, Aaron launched his career in media and publishing, initially settling in Brooklyn. It was then he met the love of his life, Elisabeth, and moved to Manhattan, where they built a joyful home at Club 114 and were married in 2004. Together, they raised their greatest pride and joy—their two incredible children, Zachary and Zoey.

Aaron built an impressive career in advertising sales, holding key positions at Ziff Davis Media/PC Magazine, American Lawyer Media (ALM), American Media Inc. (AMI), World Golf Tour, Time Inc./Golf Magazine, Performance Pricing, and most recently, his beloved NASCAR.

Aaron brought extraordinary dedication, warmth, and integrity to his work. He formed lasting relationships with clients, colleagues, and vendors alike—earning admiration for his sincerity, tireless work ethic, and natural ability to connect. At NASCAR, he went above and beyond—working around the clock, traveling to races across the country, and offering concierge-level service to clients with genuine joy and generosity. He was respected throughout the organization and deeply loved by all who knew him—not just for his professional achievements, but for the deep, lifelong relationships he nurtured.

Aaron was always there for his friends—his chosen extended family—just as they stood faithfully by his side with unwavering support during his final months. But above all, Aaron was a family man. He never missed a performance, a game, or a tournament, often coaching the children’s sports teams. Despite the demands of his career, he always made time to show up for the people he loved—whether it was a client dinner on a Tuesday or a family visit on a Sunday. His love, laughter, and light were constants in the lives of those around him.

A proud Jew, Aaron grew up attending Society Hill Synagogue in Philadelphia and later Congregation Rodeph Sholom in New York City. He lovingly passed down Jewish traditions and values to his children, and was especially known for his delicious latkes. Aaron will be remembered for his kindness, humility, gratitude, and his signature beaming smile—often paired with an encouraging thumbs-up. He had a gift for making others feel seen and valued in every interaction.

Tragically, Aaron’s life was cut short by mesothelioma, a rare and devastating cancer. His memory survives through his loving parents, Stanley and Judith Woloff; his brother Isaac Woloff and sister-in-law Abigail Woloff; his cherished nephews, Shaya and David; his beloved wife, Beth; and his two adoring children, Zachary and Zoey.

Aaron’s legacy lives on in every life he touched—with pure joy and unwavering positivity.
