Steve Olson

Stephen R. Olson, 72, passed away December 27, 2016 after a long battle with Alzheimer's.

Steve was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on January 2, 1944, to Byron and Martha Olson. Steve was the older of the first set of twins born in Wyoming that year. He grew up in Basin and, loving the community, chose to plant his roots and raise his family.

Steve worked for Marathon Oil and Wyoming Gas Company prior to owning and operating Steve's Service Center in Basin. He loved serving his community and neighbors; always offering a helping hand, a jovial conversation, or a sweet smile. He also loved his family beyond measure. He was a wonderful son, husband, brother, father, uncle, grandfather and friend.

Steve is survived by his wife, Patti; son Tyler (Sue) Olson, daughter Tawnya (Bob) Mortenson and seven beautiful grandchildren. He is also survived by his twin brother, Stan Olson (Kay), plus nieces and nephews whom he adored.

A Celebration of Life will be held early summer.
