Eric was a gentle kind young man that would be there for whom ever needed him. His spirit and heart were genuine. Not a judger, always seeing the best in people. Loved to talk your ear off and council friends and family. He always seemed to know the right words to make you feel better. At a young age he had so many talents, a natural born athlete, and Tall left handed baseball player like his grandpa. Loved the outdoors, recently took a kayak out in Puget Sound without a life jacket, and scared us. He had a natural green thumb, could revive my plants with his magic soil. Animals were his passion. He recently lost his dog Chevy of 14 years. He was a wonderful Son and Brother. He loved his place in Seattle and his job. He had a lot of good friends and family that loved him. We will miss his wonderful spirit and he will never be forgotten. Eric is survived by his parents, Jim and Debbi Olsen of Richmond Beach; his brother Garret, living in Ballard; Sofie Dog, Grandma Marylou, Uncle David, Greta Scales of Oregon, Gail, Nora Olsen, Jessica and Aaron Apodaca of Mercer Island, Per Olsen of Ballard; and many aunts and cousins, and lots of close friends. Please join us for a Celebration of Eric’s Life from 12-4pm on November 19, 2017 at the Greenwood Masonic Lodge. In Lieu of flowers, donations to Pasados Safe Haven would be appreciated in honor of Eric being a huge animal lover.
