Edward John Olsen

The world stopped turning for a brief moment the sunny morning of March 6, 2024. Our family lost a rock, father, uncle, friend and a loving husband to Shelly. Eddie was a private hard-working family "loving" man. Our hearts have an empty spot that will forever be held until we return to him. Eddie was one Hell-of-a-mechanic and possessed the ability to tell the most amazing stories of his adventures. He had a small circle of friends he kept with the deepest of honors if you were one of them. He and his wife Shelly of 31-years were considered "two peas in a pod." They were a match made in Heaven. There will be a spot held at all of our future gatherings just for him and his memory. Eddie was always there to lend a helping hand without ever bragging of his dedication in helping others. He enjoyed his family the most, but also loved Jeeping, riding his Harley and shooting guns in the outdoors.

In his daughter Aislyne's words, "Papa was a big ol’ grizzly bear with an ooey-gooey center and would shower you with his tough love. His son William's words: Dad says, "live your best life William, live your best life."

We as a family to Eddie will be truly at a loss without him here, until we meet again...
