Terry Olson, age 75, passed peacefully through the veil with his wife at his side, on Tuesday September 8, 2020. Cause of death was ITP and Myelofibrosis incurred from working in the uranium industry for over thirty years. Thanks a bunch Lucky Mc Mine and Federal Government!!!! Just to be clear, NOT BECAUSE OF COVID-19.

He has made Riverton his home for most of his life. You could often find Terry puttering around in his shop with all his toys and working on his property. His favorite pastime was spending time with his grandchildren and traveling. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held positions in the primary as a teacher, Sunday School teacher, Priesthood presidency, High Council, Ordinance Worker at the Ogden Temple, and Bishopric secretary.
