The Olson Family

On September 8th, Steve and Sonya were out on a ride on their motorcycle with their good friends heading to a restaurant to eat. When coming around the bend, tragedy struck for the Olson family. Such a tight knit family shattered in just the blink of an eye. They were hit head on by another vehicle coming around the corner, throwing them both to the ditch. Steve and Sonya suffered from severe injuries; they were brought to the emergency room and were immediately transported to Rochester for medical care. Steve later passed away from substantial injuries from the accident. Sonya will be returning home today with a long recovery ahead.

The Olsons are amazing people and very well known throughout our community. Steve had a sense of humor like no other and would bring joy and laughter to anyone who came his way. Such a beautiful soul gone too soon. He will be greatly missed by many!

The Olson family are in need of much love, prayers, and support during this very difficult time in their lives. Please help spread the word and donate to help with any expenses they may need.

Visitation will be at Bonnerup Funeral Home in Albert Lea on Friday, September 16 and the funeral will be at East Freeborn Lutheran Chuch on Saturday, September 17; times are still pending.
