Daxton Justin Olsen

Daxton Justin Olsen, 15, of Logan, Utah passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Friday, December 7th after a brief illness. Dax was an amazing son, brother, grandson, great grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. In his short life, he touched all he met with his sense of humor and kindness. Dax was very active and had an incredible zest for life. He enjoyed camping, shooting guns, golfing, and gaming but his passion was basketball. Dax and his freshman basketball team were able to play and win their first game before his passing. Dax had a strong faith in God and a firm understanding that he would return to live with him. Dax attended Alpine Church and served the toddlers of his church family through Kid’s Ministry. Dax was also very involved in Fusion, a youth group sponsored by Alpine Church, and through them participated in meaningful service and worship.
Daxton is survived by his parents Justin and Jenn Olsen; brother Jace Olsen; sister Jill Reimer, grandparents Dave and Marie Miller; Ray and Shelley Olsen; Paul Platis and Pauline Jonsson; Kathy Platis.
