David Lowell Olson, a devoted husband, father and son, passed away at home on December 29, 2025 at the age of 83. He was born on August 4, 1942 to parents, Halvor and Alma Olson.

David's journey began in Nashotah, where he attended grade school from 1948 to 1956, followed by Arrowhead High School from 1956 to 1960. He continued his education by attending the Madison Farm Short Course in 1961.

His dedication to service extended beyond the military; he was a Fire Captain for the Nashotah Fire Department from 1962 to 1989, where his bravery and commitment to community safety earned him the respect and admiration of many.
