Theodore "Teddy" O'Malley Olson III was born February 23, 1963, in Watertown, the son of Theodore "Ted" Jr. and Priscilla (née Stricker) Olson. From his early days raising pigs and enjoying the merry-go-round, to his time at Watertown High School, Teddy lived a life rich with hobbies. He was happiest when listening to music, especially Mariah Carey, or spending time outdoors riding his motorcycle and fishing for bullheads on Beaver Dam Lake. Indoors, he could often be found playing Sega video games. Over the years, he became a beloved figure at Clearview, where many friends knew him simply as "Theo."
Teddy is survived by sisters, Susan Helms of Richmond, MI; Sara Schwartz of Watertown; nieces and nephews, Rebecca Helms, Mark Helms, Andrew Olson, David Schwartz, Kayla Roever, ; great-nieces and great-nephews, Nathaniel Crooker, Karmyra Crooker, Xavier Crooker, William Roever and Alexander Roever; as well as other relatives and friends.
Teddy is preceded in death by his parents and brother, Todd Olson.
