In memory of Kevin Brent Olson
Jan.27,1981-March 17,2005
You will forever be in our hearts
It is with saddened hearts we announce the sudden passing of Kevin on Thursday, March 17, 2005 at the age of
24 years. Born January 27, 1981 in Calgary, the only son to Brent and Susan; little brother to Christina (Rick) and Teri (Dwayne);
husband to Erica; and uncle to Logan and Jake. Kevin was an avid basketball player and Calgary Flames fan. He was a caring
and generous person that left a lasting impression on all he met. Kevin graduated from fire-etc. in Vermillion, AB in 2003.
While there he received the Jason Lang Scholarhsip and a Lakeland College Academic Excellence Award. He proudly accepted his
first position as a professional firefighter with the Yellowknife Fire Department just a short time ago. It is there that
he tragically lost his life in the line of duty, fulfilling his dream.
LODD
Kevin's passing was the first Line of Duty Death in YKFD history. Our hearts go out to
the family of Cyril Fyfe who also lost his life in the same fire.
