Kyle L. Olson, a 28-year-old resident of Parkers Prairie, passed away very suddenly on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, as a result of injuries incurred in a farming accident. The funeral service is scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at First Evangelical Lutheran Church, under the leadership of Rev. Ben Dyrhaug.

According to Paul Harvey, God observed his intended paradise on the eighth day and decided that a caretaker was necessary. Someone who possesses the ability to unite a family via the gentle yet powerful connections of sharing and who would respond with a combination of laughter, sighs, and a warm gaze when their son expresses the desire to pursue a career similar to their own. God created a farmer and bestowed on him the gift of a son.
Kyle Laverne Olson was born on July 13, 1995, to Joyce (Wark) Olson and his deceased father, Bruce Olson. He underwent the sacraments of baptism and confirmation at the First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Parkers Prairie.
Kyle completed his secondary education at Parkers Prairie High School and obtained his degree from Ridgewater Community College in Willmar. Only a fortunate few are born with their vocation predetermined. Kyle was an individual who fit this description. As a farmer by birth, his hobbies and activities were closely connected to the land that his family had been farming for almost four decades.
He had a strong preference for John Deere tractors and Ford trucks. Kyle was actively involved in agriculture during his high school years. He was a member of the Spruce Hill Rangers 4-H Club, where he raised and showcased turkeys, pigs, and cattle at both the Douglas County Fair and the Minnesota State Fair.
Additionally, Kyle was a dedicated member of the Parkers Prairie FFA Chapter, where his commitment to farming earned him prestigious accolades such as the State Degree, Star Chapter Farmer, and Star Chapter Placement honors.
