Roger Olson Obituary

Roger Lee Olson peacefully passed on Tuesday, October 8th in his childhood home while on vacation visiting his mother. He was a gifted painter known most for his creativity. He was a giant of a man only surpassed in size by his heart of gold. He was loved by all who knew him and will be missed eternally by his family and friends. He was preceded in death by his brother, Dennis. He is survived by his mother Mary, brother Brian, and Brianna his favorite and only niece. He has four upstanding young men his sons, Rocky, Roger Jr., Nicholas, Chawncey and their mothers Cindy and Tammy. His best friend in life Esther Dushkin in the place he grew to call his second home Alaska.

My Deepest heartfelt sympathies to Roger's family. He was a "boyfriend" in our early teens. Wild and a renegade at times but sweet and funny too. I'll never forget going to their house....we were about 14 years old....he came to the door with his head wrapped up in a towel and his face slatheter with Noxema Cold Cream....lol....he said he was giving himself a facial.....LOL
He adored his MOMMA and little brother Brian. Whenever I would see Mary over the years before her retirement from the shoe store in the mall, I would always ask about Roger. She is always so kind, positive and happy. It's nice to know that he has 4 sons.
REST EASY ROGER
