Johnny Olson and I played Football at Normandale together at Normandale and have been friends ever since. He was the funniest guy I have ever been around! So many stories! Johnny was also one of the kindness and caring person I have ever known! I love you Johnny You will be missed. Your legacy will live on with Julia.
Boy Johnny, it’s hard to believe all the laughs we shared whether at work or in our adjoining driveways. We could sure yuck it up with very little outside provocation. We had a good neighborhood.
I know Julia was your pride and joy. She will continue to be that for you as I know you’ll now be her guardian angel. You will never be far from her heart.
I wish your family peace, good memories, as well as love. I wish for you a heaven with sports, good music, beaches, drinks with little umbrellas, friends and family who have gone before you and lots of time to have a laugh.
To the family of Johnny Olson, I only knew of Johnny through my son Mitch who enjoyed his company at the gym and going out for sushi together. My son expressed to me his sadness about Johnny’s passing and how much he enjoyed his company. The last time my son saw Johnny in person, Johnny was so excited to be pre-approved for a mortgage so he could start looking for a home in Florida. They also were making plans to get sushi together again soon. So from my son and myself, our hearts go out to you.
My condolences to the Olson Family. I met Johnny at the gym, he was warm, welcoming and hilarious. We quickly became friends, shared laughs and enjoyed getting sushi together especially the flying fish egg salad. I enjoyed seeing him almost every day around that 3:30 pm time and if I missed him at the gym I would honk when I saw him walking. Johnny expressed his love, commitment to his pride and joy his daughter Julia. Johnny you are missed and I value the positive impact you made on my life .
We always enjoyed our chats with John when he would walk his dog through our neighborhood when he lived in Prior Lake. I called him Johnny Walker. What a great guy with a good smile and a big heart. My condolences for his daughter and family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh Johnny O! Great laughs, great memories and a great guy. So much fun…..wherever you were. Years of laughter. Thanks for making life exciting in Burnsville and giving most of the teachers a run for their money.
Always a Brave!
Thanks for the stories , one night would never be enough to tell ‘em all!
Vicki. Aka Melons! Melonhead!
Our condolences from the Boeser family,
Johnny was not just my best friends father, he was my second dad, travel buddy, and mood booster. Once I became close to Julia in freshman year she said “it’s time to meet my dad”. Not only was Johnny a hilarious man but he always protected Julia and I. Johnnys love for Julia was unconditional. The nights we spent at his house during summer, dinners, four trips to Florida, and just Johnnys company are a few things i will never forget. I pray for Julia and her family every night since the loss that I still can’t comprehend. Johnny and Julia have made such an impact on my life and I cannot express how much I thank and love them both. Fly high “Dad”
I have such great fond memories of being with Johnny on and off the ice. It was nearly impossible to be around Johnny and not be left smiling. I have fond memories of he and I and our parents going to Winnipeg Canada to play hockey for a couple of summers. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
Our condolences to the Olson family from the Lenhart family. My brother and I grew up playing sports with Johnny and Bootie and always loved hanging with your family. As a youngster Johnny was always upbeat, happy and had a smile on his face!!
My condolences to the family. Johnny was a good neighbor and friend. I enjoyed taking care of Fluffy when he and Julia went on their trips to Florida.
My condolences to Julia and the rest of the Olson family. Kaitlyn and I have great memories of spending time with you both and we’re both grateful to have known your Dad. When I think of him I can’t help but smile to myself…

My condolences to the family of Johnny. Especially his daughter Julia, brother Frank and close friends.
I remember Johnny walking almost every day at least 10 miles a day after he went to the gym. He was a good neighbor who always said hi and had a smile. You will sadly be missed Johnny may you rest in peace.
