Kris John Olson

August 9, 1961 - November 8, 2026

Kris John Olson, age 65, passed away on November 8, 2026.

Kris was truly one of a kind. He had a kind heart, a great sense of humor, and just enough stubbornness to keep things interesting. He was a man who enjoyed life at his own pace, appreciated the simple things, and didn't need much to keep himself entertained. 

Kris loved spending time outdoors, especially in his yard, where there was always something to do, something to fix, or another project waiting for his attention. He was quite the collector. From everyday odds and ends to the most unexpected treasure. Kris had a knack for finding something worth keeping in just about anything. His many collections became part of who he was, and anyone who knew him knew there was always room for just one more thing.

Kris shared 29 years of marriage with his wife, Angie. He devoted much of his life to Angie and the home they shared, finding comfort and happiness in their everyday routines and the life they built together. He also had a soft spot for animals and was always willing to lend a helping hand.

Kris wasn't someone who needed grand adventures or fancy things to enjoy life. He found happiness in familiar surroundings, his many interests, and the people he loved. He had his own way of doing things, his own opinions, and a personality that won't soon be forgotten.

Kris was preceded in death by his parents, Albert R. Olson and Bernita Louise "Bernie" (Fortier) Olson-Holzer; and his brothers, Mark Olson and Glenn Olson.

He is survived by his wife, Angie Olson; his brother Scott Olson; his sisters, Wende (Mark) Bergmeier, Cindi Jacobsen, and Jennie (Mike) Kluth; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

Kris leaves behind more than a lifetime of collections. He leaves behind memories, laughter, stories, and little reminders of himself everywhere. Those who knew and loved him will surely find themselves smiling at something that reminds them of Kris for years to come.

Memorial arrangements are pending and will be announced at a later date.
