PRICE - A very special person was taken from us at the prime of his life when Jack Jim Olson, age 42, passed away June 23, 2003 at Utah Valley hospital in Provo. He was born March 6, 1961 in Price to Willis Olson Jr. and Alice Jackson. Married Melinda "Mindy" Kessler July 1, 1983 in Price. Jack had a personality that was matched by no other and, when he laughed, the world laughed with him. His friends and family were very dear to him and he was the catalyst that held everyone together. Jack's hobbies were hunting, fishing, camping and barbecuing for family and friends. He was a truck driver by trade, who loved to travel the country, and was an accomplished equipment operator. In his youth, he spent some time in the coal mines and, the past couple of years, he was unable to work due to both shoulders being reconstructed. Jack will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him. Survived by wife, Mindy Olson, Carbonville; five children, Joe (Kristian) Olson, Ferron; Jimmy Olson, Mandy Olson, Bobby Olson, Tyler Olson, all of Carbonville; father, Willis Olson Jr., Price; brother, Willis (Jamie) Olson, Delta, Colo.; in-laws, Jackie (Shane) Brown, Lloyd (Helen) Kessler, all of Price; five loving grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Courtney, Kaneisha, Cameron, Caleb; special nieces, Sonja, Christy, Amber and Santaria. Jack is also survived by many other loving nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Preceded in death by his mother, Alice Jackson Olson; and a grandson, Brendan.
