Carl was a loving husband, brother, son, friend and teacher. He was a classically trained pianist specializing in old timey music. Carl played weekly at nursing homes, church on Sundays as the pianist, taught students who went on to win national awards and composed his own music. He played regularly at Gershwin's, Cavalier Hotel, and Live on Atlantic every summer. He was known for his virtuoso abilities, bright smile, gentle and compassionate demeanor, warm hugs, sense of adventure, high intelligence, dark humor, quick wit, and silliness.
Carl was preceded in death by his mother Jean Olson. He is survived by the love of his life, Katie (Everingham) Olson; his father, Wayne Olson; siblings Lee Olson, Lydia (Scott) George, Eric Olson, and Rachel Olson; nieces Hannah and Samantha George and nephews Dayton and Dawson Olson.

IBlake Shelton Gets Emotional as Miranda Lambert Shines with Lainey Wilson and Reba McEntire at the 2025 ACMs - He Gets Up, Dances, and Laughs Through Tears Like a True Fan FRISCO, TEXAS - When three country music icons - Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Reba McEntire - took the stage at the 2025 ACMs to perform their new song "Trailblazer," the crowd erupted with energy, unity, and reverence for the women who paved the way for the next generation. The statement song is more than just a song - it´s an anthem for resilience, hidden scars, and dreams that never die. The female audience chanted along to every chorus, but there was one moment that made social media go crazy: Miranda´s ex-husband, Blake Shelton, stood up, clapped, and... danced to the music....

I give my deepest prayers & condolences to Carl's family & loved ones. I met Carl maybe 9 years ago at a memorial for the late Charles Darden. He was a jazz singer in the area that passed away in 2016. Carl was gracious enough to accompany me on Fly Me To The Moon. He was a great & kind man. He even played at a butterfly ceremony,also in 2016 when I lost my mom. He will be missed. Fly High Young Brother!
