Obituary of Murray Olsen

OLSEN, Murray March 5, 1972 – February 8, 2024 On Thursday, February 8, 2024, Murray Olsen passed away peacefully at the age of 51 years with family by his side. Born in Calgary, his family lived on a farm near Drumheller before moving to Andrew in 1978 where Murray loved playing ice hockey, street hockey and riding his motorbike over any challenging obstacle he could find. For his last few years of school, he went to Edmonton before becoming interested in farming and operating farm and heavy equipment for local farmers and then his younger brother Marvin. On and off he continued to do this until his health prevented from continuing to do so. Thank you to the Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge in Lamont, and the Lamont Health Care Centre staff for their patience and special care during the last four years of Murray’s life. Murray will be sadly missed by his family, dad Keith Olsen and special friend Sherri Cholak; sister Luanne Lamash (Augustine) and their family; brother Marvin Olsen (Shannon) and their family; daughter Sharalee Olsen (Jaeger Kult-Berdahl) and their children Dax, Wyatt and Levi Berdahl. He was predeceased by his mother Patricia Olsen in 1995; and son Murray J. Micklos in 2018. At Murray’s request, cremation will take place and a private family service will take place at a late date. Donations in memory of Murray may be made to the “Lamont Health Care Centre.”
