It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of Larry W. Olson, who passed away at his home in Westcreek, CO at the age of 77. Larry is survived by his two sons, Lane (Jenn) and Luke (Nicole) Olson; his grandson, Chandler Rote; his granddaughter, Baylee Olson; his former wife and mother of Lane and Luke, Linda Olson Marks, with whom he remained very close friends; and his beloved dog, Smokey, who was truly his best friend and went with him everywhere. Larry is preceded in death by his parents, John and Bettie Olson. Services for Larry will be held Friday, August 25th at 1pm at the First Presbyterian Church, located at 219 E Bijou Street in Colorado Springs. Followed by a Celebration of Life for family and friends at Bloom's Mill Hill Saloon. Rest in Peace, Larry. We will all miss you dearly.
