John Aldeen Olson

John Aldeen Olson, 55, of Lead-Deadwood, South Dakota, departed this life on July 4, 2025, in Casper, Wyoming.

Born on May 23, 1970, John was a devoted father, a loyal friend, and a proud member of the community. He is survived by his three children: John Olson Jr., Sean Olson, and Angel Olson.

John will be remembered for his kind heart, quiet strength, and unwavering love for his family. He had a gift for conversation and a heart open to everyone — whether you were an old friend or someone he’d just met. His stories, and the way he made others feel seen and heard, will remain in the hearts of many. His warmth, humor, and genuine curiosity made him easy to talk to, and even easier to remember.

Though he was always ready with a smile and a story, John quietly carried many of life’s hardships on his own shoulders. His strength was steady and unspoken — a quiet endurance that shaped the man he was and the love he gave to others.

Throughout his life, John faced physical challenges with steady grit, overcoming more than most ever knew — always carrying his hardships with steadfast dignity.

He leaves behind a legacy of resilience, compassion, and deep-rooted connection to those who knew him.

A remembrance of the road he traveled will be held at a later date. The family appreciates your support during this difficult time.
