Rickie R. Olsen

February 28, 1954 - July 26, 2016

Early Tuesday morning, July 26, 2016, our husband, dad, papa, grandpa, son, brother, uncle, and friend, Rickie Rulon Olsen, returned home to our Heavenly Father. At the age of 62, he is now with his brother, Robert Larry Olsen, his mom, Laura Bell Olsen, and many other family members that have gone on before him. Rick was born to Robert and Laura Olsen January 28, 1954, at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, UT. He was blessed with a close family that taught him to work hard, play hard, and always trust in our Heavenly Father. He married his high school sweetheart, Susan Rainaldi, January 11, 1973, and raised his four children to have the same values. Rick, Sue, and their children were later sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple March 26, 1994. Rick had a love for the outdoors and sought every opportunity to be outside – hunting, fishing, golfing, camping, working meticulously on his yard and garden. He shared this love with his family and friends with numerous hunting/camping trips, trips to Lake Powell and Boulder Mountain, BBQing, or simply driving the four wheelers to the canyon and coming home with a collection of rocks. Family was the most important thing on this Earth to Rick and he spent his life creating memories with them. Rick is survived by his wife, Susan Rainaldi Olsen, of Lindon, UT; son Justin (Laurie) Olsen, grandchildren Emma, Kiara, and Timothy of Spanish Fork, UT; daughter Nicole (Joseph) Swindle, grandchildren Michael, Sariah, Emily, Riley, of Hattiesburg, MS; son Ross (Jeni) Olsen, grandchildren Drew Ann, Corbin, and May of Nampa, ID; daughter Samantha (Mike) Westover, grandchildren Remi, Ruby, and Boden of Lindon, UT; father, Robert B. Olsen, of Orem, UT; sisters Laura Lee (Kirk) Anderson, Sharlene (Duff) Thompson, Heidi (Brian) Barker and brothers David (Nancy) Olsen, and Mark (Bridgette) Olsen.
