Charles S. Olsen, 66, of Kingman, Arizona, passed away on Dec. 9,
2020. He was born in Long Beach, California on Feb. 3, 1954 to Dwight
and Blaine Olsen. Charles moved to Bullhead City with his family in
1967 where he spent most of his younger years. He moved to
Jacksonville, Florida in 1992 with a request of a job and eventually
moved back to Kingman in 1999 where he has resided since.

Charles graduated from Mohave High School (Bullhead City) in 1972.
After graduating he joined the U.S. Navy and served his country as a
hospital corpsman between 1972 and 1976. He continued working as a
surgical assistant in the medical field most of his life. He also took
on many other jobs through the years. He was never afraid to try
something new. He would do what he had to do to take care of his
family.

He met his current wife in 1992 and they have been together for 28
amazing years. He was the original founder of the Route 66 Cruisers
Car club here in Kingman. He owned many cars, but was mostly known for
his ‘66 Chevy El Camino which he completely restored. He was also
known for his currently owned ‘66 Ford Ranchero. He had a love for
Harley Davidson motorcycles and owned several of them through the
years. He enjoyed golf, baseball and football, and was a loyal Arizona
Cardinals fan. He also was a past member of the VFW.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Dwight and Blaine Olsen; his
nephew, Nathan Olsen; and a best friend, Jimmy Naples. He is survived
by his loving wife and best friend Maureen Olsen; sons Jarad Olsen and
Jeremy Olsen; daughters Shaunacie Young, Breanna Olsen and Gina
Galotto-Olsen; brother Terry Olsen; and sister Karen Hardesty. He has
10 beautiful grandchildren whom he always loved to tell everyone he
met about. He was a wonderful guy and will be greatly missed.
