All, it is with great sadness that I must inform you all that Tim Olson’s life ended unexpectedly and suddenly this past Monday. We all have lost a great person, friend, boater, rescuerer.
Services for my best friend and paddling buddy are listed below:
Saturday 9/23
Visitation – 2pm
Service – 3pm
United Grace Methodist Church
2400 US-50
Lee’s Summit, MO 64063

For those who cannot make the trip the tentative plan is to scatter a portion of his ashes on the St. Francis at a service to be held at a later date.
We’ll all miss you Tim…

Thank you Adam… Tim was such a kind hearted guy. So sorry for the loss of a great friend.
I’ve only known Tim a few years, we paddled together on the SE trip a few times and a small handful of times on the Saint. Tim was someone you wanted on the river with you – he was smart, cautious and patient. The last time I saw Tim we were on the Ocoee, having paddled the lower Tellico the day before.
We have sent flowers with a card stating “Friends from the MWA” as we are sure many more of us want to be there tomorrow but cannot.
He will truly be missed on the Saint.

Adam – so sorry to hear this shocking news. Tim was s great guy to boat with and hang around with afterward. He was the first one I went to when I bruised my ribs in the SE trip this spring, because I knew he’d have my back if needed.
Unfortunately, I can’t be there tomorrow but please share my condolences with his family.
