Kenneth Lynn Olsen Sr., 65, of Poplar died Thursday, March 3, 2022, at his home.

The son of Raquel Ann Young and Lewis Youngman Jr., he was born Sept. 4, 1956 and raised in Poplar.

He was known by many who knew him because of his kind heart and crazy sense of humor. He gave many crazy nicknames. He also liked to fish, play horseshoes, play machines and, most of all, he liked attending pow-wows. If he wasn’t doing any of that, he loved music and always had big loud speakers jamming music at home or taking a cruise.

He is survived by his children and grandchildren, Lynda and kids (Kendra, Gavyn and Leon), Jenny and kids, Tyson and Keli, Marlin and kids, Corvette and Maliah, Kenny Jr. and kids and his baby girl, Shoni Walking Eagle; children he raised as his own, Loudaon Ironbear and Roletta Laundreaux; two adopted sons, Loren Bighorn and Ralph Hamilton; sisters, Julia Young and Jonelle Menz White; adopted sisters, Verlynn and Wilma Longee; brothers, Robert O, Keith, Ervin Olson, Curtis and Lester Menz; and grandchildren too numerous to mention.

He was preceded in death by his son, Leon Troy Olson; brother, Levi Olson; and granddaughters, Kenzley Olson and Charlynn Carpentier.

His funeral was held Monday, March 14, at the Poplar Cultural Center. Interment followed at the Poplar City Cemetery. Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel was entrusted with arrangements.
