Larry Olson was born Sept. 14, 1952. He always had a love for fishing. There was not a day that he did not wish that he was dropping a line in the water. Now, he gets to fish every day in the most epic fishing hole ever. Larry passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015. He had a luster for life.
He was always willing to help a friend or neighbor without expecting anything in return. On any given day you would see Larry mowing somebody’s lawn or just giving a helping hand. He was never known to be one that liked being inside.
One of his favorite pastimes was spending time with his family outdoors. He loved wood cutting, camping and teaching his kids and grandchildren how to fish. He would always come back telling you that he caught “The BIG ONE” that was 18 inches; in actuality it was a minnow.
Larry was a world renowned “knowologist.” If you asked a question and he wasn’t sure of the answer, his reply would be, “Let me tell you a story about Uncle Jed.” Larry was full of “Uncle Jed” stories. The lingo that was often heard in these stories came straight out of “Larry’s Factionary.” If you happened to see Larry out and about, you better not be in a hurry. He had the gift of gab for sure. He was a social butterfly that even his wife couldn’t reel him in.
He is leaving behind “his angel,” Marcia Olson of 42 years. They have three amazing children, Christopher, Mandie and Elizabeth; and one adopted son, Jeremy. They have one grandson, Zacharie and fiancée Missie; two granddaughters, Maleka and Dakota; and one great-grandson, Ethan.
He loved singing Christmas carols, eating his sweets, enjoying a 7-N-7, beer and his breathing treatments.
Come join the family in celebrating the life of Larry on Saturday, Nov. 28, 2015. The celebration will begin at 2 p.m. at their home. For the address, please call Marcia at (928) 978-2257.
“Just another day in paradise.”
