Charles Olson


Charles Edward Olson, 59, died June 21, 2021, in Billings. He was born Dec. 16, 1961, and was raised in Miles City by his adopted parents, Pete and Ruby Olson, where he graduated high school in 1980. He was a lifelong skilled contractor and fashioned many properties in the area. When he was not working, he was an avid hunter and fisherman. His hobbies included cooking and he never missed an opportunity to watch the New York Giant’s play. Those who knew him enjoyed his charismatic and comical nature and his way of lighting up any room he walked into. He is survived by his wife, Yvette of Wolf Point; children Laci Hubenka, Jasmine Olson, Joslynn Rall, Tyrel Olson, Orrin Olson, Aspen Olson and Jewel Olson; five grandchildren; and sister, Tammy Olson. Funeral services were held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 30, at Clayton-Stevenson Memorial Chapel. Burial followed at Fort Kipp Cemetery. Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel assisted with the arrangements.
