Elliott M. Olsen

Elliott Michael Olsen passed away at the age of 44 on October 17th, 2021.  

He was born on November 7th, 1976 and soon found himself in the loving arms of his parents Elaine and Tom Olsen. He attended Wausau East High School. He is preceded in death by his grandmother Martha Czaplinski, his uncle Harry Czaplinski, and grandparents Thorwald and Marguerite Olsen.  Elliott was a devoted son and brother. He was also a caring father.  Elliott could often be found enjoying nature, whether it be walks with his dog Grizz at Rib Mountain State Park, or on the water trying to catch the next world record breaking Muskie. He spent a lot of time at the family cottage, enjoying time with his family. Elliott was never without a smile or laugh and his kind heart brought warmth to those he knew. He was full of life and will always be remembered as such. Elliott was the owner of Ell’s Masonry. 

Survivors include his parents, Elaine Olsen of Tomahawk, Tom (Kathleen) Olsen of Florida, daughter Kayla (Craig) Harrington of Sherwood, sister Emily (Dan) Baumann of Wausau; his niece and nephew Mallory and Garrett Baumann; and his grandchildren Oliver and Everett  Harrington. He is also survived by his best friend, his dog Grizzly.
