Brian Frederick Olson

MANISTEE -- Brian Frederick Olson was born to Herbert and Violet Olson in Manistee, Michigan on Nov.11, 1946. He was proceeded in death by both his father and mother and twin brothers (Gary and Gery) who only experienced life for two short hours after birth. He is survived by his wife Mary, sons Brian Jr. (Donna), Kevin (Juanita) and Christopher (Brittin). Also, grandchildren Ashley, Tyler, Joseph, Travis, Jaxon, Ariana, Hannah, Shawn and Hayes.

Brian's greatest love was his family. He loved having them come to his little hobby farm in Custer and help him with "projects" and just "hang out" with him.

He was so proud of his sons and daughter-in-laws and the lives they had worked so hard to make for their families.

He was a wonderful "papa" and cherished each grandchild and found it very hard when they grew up and he couldn't hold them on his lap anymore. But it was with great pride that he watched the older ones become adults with careers and interests of their own, and he was so happy that he still had a few young enough to cuddle in his big chair with him.

 Services for Brian will be held on Oct. 21, 2017 at 1 p.m. at Sunrise Baptist Church in Custer, WA with Pastor Phil Stevenson officiating. Full obituary online at www.sigsfuneralservices.com/notices/Brian-Olson.
