Rodney Grant Olson has returned to his heavenly home on July 18, 2016. He passed away surrounded by his loving family. After a long and courageous battle with cancer, other health issues and struggles, he is no longer suffering and we are all at peace knowing that he accepted Jesus into his heart. Rod was the fifth child born to Burnette and Arlene on September 7, 1966 in Swift Current Saskatchewan. He grew up in Swift Current until he and his best friend Layne moved to Moose Jaw to attend the Artistic Beauty College in 1985. After receiving his degree in hairdressing, he moved to North Battleford where he worked and lived for two years. After that he moved back home to Swift Current and built up his clientele until 1992 when he and Layne opened up their own salon, Details Professional Hair Design. Rod was a loyal member of Dooly's pool club, he also enjoyed playing darts, music festivals, and being around his many friends. He especially loved his cats, which he has had many through his lifetime. Rod also had a certain wit and knack for storytelling. He had a huge heart and loved without judgement.
