August 14, 1962 - January 24, 2022
Kirk Lawrence Olsen passed away January 24, 2022, in Lodi at the age of 59. Born August 14, 1962, in San Francisco, Kirk has lived for the past 23 years in San Joaquin County, and lived previously in Antioch, Martinez and San Francisco for many years. Kirk was a truck driver and owner of a steel processing plant: Universal Service Recycling, Inc.
Kirk was a social butterfly making friends everywhere he went. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Riding his motorcycle was a passion he had since a child. Kirk loved watching wrestling and old westerns. He liked to take long drives with no destination just to see where he would end up and have an adventure. During his car rides he would sing every genre of music. He enjoyed traveling to the Hawaiian Islands as often has he could. Once he traveled there the first time, he stopped saying Hello and Thank you changing them to Aloha and Mahalo.
Kirk was a two-time kidney transplant recipient. Being on dialysis never slowed him down, he was a WARRIOR! He inspired people in situations like his to keep fighting and never give up. He would take time to explain the steps he took to get a kidney hoping his knowledge would help someone else receive one. The gift Kirk gave to this world was the way he touched everyone’s life that he met.
December 1, 1984, Kirk married his first wife, Ana Olsen, they spent 24 magical years together until Ana passed away in 2008. They had two children Alexis and Anthony. July 10, 2010, he met Lori. They married on September 11, 2018, spending the last 11 years happily together.
“What A Rush” Road Warrior. You will be deeply missed. We love you!!
Kirk is survived by his wife Lori Olsen; his children Alexis Williams, son in law Chris Williams and Anthony Olsen; stepchildren Crystal, Sabrina, Vanessa, and Chris Casas; grandson Landon Williams; step grandchildren Caliana, Mariah, Victor Jr, Athena, Gemma, and Taylor; brothers Joseph and Greg Olsen.
