Gary Arthur Olsen

Gary Olsen passed away on September 19, 2026 at Billings Clinic. According to his wishes there will be a private burial at Bonnievale Cemetery in Baker.

Gary Olsen was born on January 11, 1953 to Orville and Ann Marie (Poulos) Olsen. He grew up in Baker and attended school graduating in 1971 from Baker High School. Gary was most proud of his unprecedented K-12 perfect attendance.

Gary continued to live in Baker after graduation and worked for Bob Dahlman at D & A Chevrolet. When Bob's grandson, Steve Baldwin, took over and began C&S Automotive Gary joined him. He continued to work for Steve for thirty years and the two developed a working relationship and more importantly a friendship. Throughout his years Gary was a connoisseur of music, his favorite group being Emerson, Lake and Palmer. In his younger years he was known to be an impressive left handed pitcher. He loved baseball and took on the Pittsburgh, Pirates as the team to follow. Gary was a movie buff, his favorite being horror films.

Gary was a welcome and well-known figure in Baker as he traveled everywhere on one of his many bikes. As a young boy, his most loyal companion was his dog, Bullet, named after Roy Roger's dog. He and his mom, Ann, took weekend trips to neighboring towns, but never too far from home. Gary enjoyed visiting with the ladies at the Senior Center and was thankful for his many kind caregivers.

Gary is survived by his good friends, Steve (Tami) Baldwin and Brian (Lori) Hickey; brother, Aaron Olsen.

He is preceded by his parents, Orville and Ann Olsen.
