MICHAEL OLSON Obituary
Einan's Funeral Home
Age 60 of West Richland, a loving Husband, Father and Uncle, passed away on Oct. 29, 2010, of heart failure. Mike was born in Yakima, WA, on January 9, 1950, to Joe and Phyllis Olson. He was raised in Yakima and attended Eisenhower H.S., then in 1973 graduated from W.S.U.
He married Cindy Herberg in 1973 and they started a family in 1976 with their first son Rocky followed by their second son Derek in 1980. They were his pride and joy and enjoyed their childhood growing up in Othello, WA.
Mike managed Cenex Full Circle Store in Othello for many years until 1995. He then started his own farm store (Olson's Farm & Home) in Benton City, WA. In 2004 he went to work for Bleyhl Farm Service.
Mike enjoyed driving his Model A pickup that he restored, and loved spending his time off from work up at Rim Rock Lake. He had a great sense of humor and was a very kind, caring and loving man. Mike was trained well by his dogs Belle and JoJo and was very obedient.
Mike is survived by his wife Cindy; sons, Rocky (Kristia) and Derek; his brother, Tim (Chris); sister-in-law, Ingrid Youngberg (Ken); nephews, Matt Herberg (Jennie), Jacob Youngberg, Josh Olson and great nephews Devin and Dylan.
