George Roland Olson, age 85, of Lakeville, MN passed away peacefully on the morning of December 23, 2021.
Very simply put, George lived life to the fullest. He loved spending time with family and friends, the outdoors, hunting, fishing, golfing, and traveling, as well as being an ‘Uber’ driver for his grandsons. He was a family man in the truest and deepest sense of the word, and his passing will leave an empty spot in the hearts of many who will miss him dearly.
George is survived by his wife of 64 years, Barbara; sons Scott of Byram, NJ; Randy (Gretchen) of Mound, MN; Todd (Ginger) of Goodyear, AZ; and daughter Kim Michie (Jack) of St. Augustine, FL; as well as six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by grandsons Jackson Michie and Joshua Olson.
A celebration of George’s life is being planned for a future date, to allow friends and family across the country the opportunity to gather and share with others the special memories they made with George.
In lieu of flowers, George’s family ask that you consider making a donation in his memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Your generous donation and loving thoughts are a light of hope to St. Jude children and their families. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
It costs a lot for St. Jude to cure a child with cancer using the latest technologies and care. But because of donations, the price for patient families is $0. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything.
Your donations make this possible and give parents hope.
