David Alan Olson

November 4, 1956 – November 3, 2026

David A. Olson, 69, passed away on Nov. 3, 2026, just one day before his 70th birthday.

David graduated from Iola High School in 1975. He was married to Ginger Sannes, and together they raised three sons who made him very proud.

He spent many years working for the local cable company before discovering his passion for truck driving, a career he enjoyed for more than 30 years. He took pride in his work and spent countless miles behind the wheel throughout his career.

Outside of work, David enjoyed the outdoors and life’s simple pleasures. He spent many years hunting and fishing, enjoyed golfing, and loved shooting pool. He also had a special talent for woodworking, where his creativity and craftsmanship could shine through.

David will be remembered for his love of the outdoors, his many years on the road, his skills and talents, and the memories he created with family and friends. Above all, he was proud of his three sons and the families they built.

David is survived by his three sons, Ryan (Kathy) Olson, Jordan (Jessica) Olson, and Jeff (Katie) Olson; his sisters, Carol (Tom) Boyle and Wendy (Dale) Remington; and his three grandchildren, Allison, Levi, and Ella.

He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Iola Olson; his brother, James “JJ”; his sister, Jeanne Tschuwald; and his nephew, Tom Boyle, Jr.

A Memorial Service for David will be held at Voie Funeral Home on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 11 a.m. Family and friends will gather at the funeral home at 9 a.m.

Family and friends are invited to come together to celebrate David’s life and share memories of the time they had with him.
