Kevin Dean Olson, 65 of Miles City, MT; formerly of Ashland, MT passed away on June 18, 2025 at his home.
Kevin was born in Broadus, MT on April 24, 1960. He was the son of Dean and Edna (Kohlman) Olson. He attended school in Lame Deer and Colstrip. Kevin joined the United States Navy on November 15, 1990. He served on the USS California, CGN-36 (nuclear powered guided missile cruiser.) Kevin was medically discharged due to Multiple Sclerosis.

RIP Kevin, you were the best neighbor a family could ask for! We moved next door to you when our son’s were babies, and your little precision daughter Tracy was just a toddler, we had many many laughs! Some of the stuff you did still makes me laugh hard! We were fortunate to spend most holidays together as a family! Its lonely to see your house empty after 30+ years of seeing you sitting outside enjoying the fresh air, or just to make small talk before I went to work, and to visit for hours on those dull days, you were more than a neighbor Kevin, you & Trace were our family, Thank you for being in our lives and leaving each one of us with so many precious memories, cheers my friend and we will see your smiling face again!
Love Danny.

Kevin was a father to me during the early formative years of my life, and taught me many valuable lessons. He had the strongest moral fortitude of almost anyone I’ve met. An amazing male role model and one of the easiest people to sit and have a conversation with.
I hadn’t seen him in many, many years and had the opportunity to reconnect for a few hours last year when in town for my own mother’s passing. He was married to her for only a few years, but he gave me so many wonderful memories and I’ll never forget him.
My deepest condolences to his family.
Sending all of my love,
Ashley
