Wyatt is one of my oldest friends. I remember our days as best friends in elementary school so clearly. I remember the days we ran around on the playground playing football, tag, sandman and so many more games that would fill us with endless fun everyday. I remember every good day all of the time's we would go to his house after school or during the summer and we would play club penguin for hours or just grab a football and play in his yard. I even remember all the bad times on the play ground where we would be in a argument and my 11 year old self would yell "Im not your friend anymore" and the very next day i'd apologize and we would continue being best friends. No matter what we were doing it was always fun and perfect because we were with each other. He always had a smile on his face. I don't think its possible to take a picture of wyatt without him smiling. He never talked down to others and was always a nice spirit. I don't know a single person that didn't like Wyatt. Everyone I know at west appreciated having his opinion and having him as a friend. It seemed he enjoyed everything he did. I loved Wyatt and I will never forget him.

Dear Olson family I am so sorry for your loss. I remember seeing Wyatt on the playground at Jefferson over the years and more recently at sporting events through school. I can clearly picture Wyatt's smile and although I didn't know him well I remember how he was always so sweet to his mom and sister. May his soul Rest In Peace.

Kerry Jo and Erik... My heart aches and breaks for you both as well as your entire family. I am so very sorry ... there are just no words. Wyatt was such an adorable and sweet young boy the last time I saw him... I wish I would have gotten to know the young man he grew to be. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of meeting Wyatt through my daughter. Wyatt was such a sweet, thoughtful, and well-mannered boy with a beautiful soul. I was impressed with how loving he was towards his sister. I will miss seeing that beautiful smile of his at games. All my thoughts and prayers go out to Wyatt's family and friends at this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss.
