Michael Shirl Olson Jr. passed on January 2, 2025, at St. Mary’s Hospital. He was 53 years old. He was born on August 18, 1971, in California, to his mother and father, Michael Olson Sr. He lived in California; Reno, NV; and Hotchkiss, Colorado.

Michael met Kasandra Foster in 2022 and fell in love. He left her behind, but she will keep him alive in her heart.

Michael also had a family that he was a big part of, and they loved him as their own. They too will carry him in their hearts forever. He is survived by J. Michele Bricefield and Billy Beam; and two daughters, Savana and Destiny.

For all who want to celebrate his life, we will have a Celebration of Life this coming spring.
