Anthony Ray Olheiser

Anthony was the oldest of three children, born to Frances and Laurence Olheiser and is survived by his sister Deborah Bonicelli-Kaminski and brother Allen Olheiser. He proudly celebrated his three children, Joseph Olheiser and his wife Victoria Olheiser, Angela Totman and her husband Cody Totman, and Kira Palmer and her husband Jared Palmer. He also had six grandchildren, Braden and Logan Totman, Aurora and Atlas Palmer, and Vicktor and Zoe Olheiser. A dedicated family man, Anthony lovingly cherished his niece Amanda Bonicelli and her children Kobe, Savannah, and Wyatt as well as his nephew Nathan Bonicelli and his son, Finley.

Anthony was a loyal team member for over 35 years at FedEx, starting in Riverton, Wyoming and working at stations in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Flagstaff, Arizona before retiring in 2022. After his retirement, Anthony especially enjoyed being there for his grandkids’ activities including high school basketball games and karate, as well as sharing his passion for music and movies. A lifelong writer, he also completed his second book and diligently promoted the first two books in his White Which World series. Anthony was a man of great faith and an active member of church communities, no matter where he lived. A cancer fighter himself, he also advocated for the work of Living Hope Cancer Foundation. Family and faith were everything to Anthony, and he will be missed by all who knew him.
