Obituary

Brian Einar Olson, age 63, passed away Saturday, May 28, 2022, at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee.  He was born May 31, 1958, in Neenah, son of the late Einar and Dorothy Olson.  

Brian graduated from Neenah High School in 1976.  He married Janette Heldt on September 22, 2002.  Brian was employed with Theda Clark Medical Center for 39 years until his retirement, and more recently for Kroger/Pick ‘n Save.  He loved singing and listening to Elvis, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and all the old country songs. He had a wonderful voice. He was an avid Packer fan and loved his computer games.

Brian had an infectious laugh and smile and he was a kind and caring individual. He was a loving friend and mentor to his nephew Lucas. They were “buds.”

Brian was preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy and Einar Olson, a very special uncle, Mickel Olson, a brother-in-law, William Trzcinski, and in-laws Don and Judy Heldt, and other dear family members.

The funeral service will be held at 7:00 PM on Friday, June 3, 2022, at Neenah's Westgor Funeral Home.  The visitation will be held from 5:00 PM until the hour of service.  In lieu of flowers a memorial is being established.

I did not know Brian by name but I did see him often at Pick N Save. He was always so nice and friendly and would greet me when I saw him. Sending prayers out to the family.

I am sorry for your loss. My wife knew Brian from working at the hospital and we would see him at Pick N Save we always would have a nice chat. He was one of the nicest people I have known. He will be missed by many I am sure. Sorry to hear again.

We were a couple of skinny, wide-eyed bus seat sharers to and from the scary world of Junior High School. Brian had a divine and quick sense of joyful humor. It could lift you away from earthly worries and self-created shackles. He was a gift of creation to those who might chance to glimpse it. One can only hope to nudge others toward such a positive, peace-provoking path. A marvel of a man to me! Rest in Peace and JOY Brian.
