Cory Daniel Olson, age 41, passed away at his childhood home in Monona on Oct. 28, 2023. Cory grew up in a loving home in Monona, Wis., where he excelled in several sports including hockey and soccer and was an overall athlete in everything, other than basketball, he didn’t like playing basketball. He graduated from Monona Grove High School in 2001 and started his own family in Madison. Never venturing far from his family home in Monona he began his career with Raymond P. Cattell in 2005 forming curbs and sidewalks all around Dane county. Cory loved working at Cattell Construction and made many strong and lasting friendships with a company that treated him like family. He was given many opportunities for advancement and was proud of his accomplishments, for that, our family would like to sincerely thank everyone at Raymond P. Cattell.

Cory enjoyed fishing, fast cars and Seinfeld but his claim to fame was his massive collection of PEZ. His large PEZ collection included many collectors’ items, the largest PEZ and the smallest PEZ in the world. Even a PEZ Halloween costume. With his collection alone he could have started his own PEZ museum. Collecting those items were his pride and joy until 2013 with the birth of his first child.

Jazzmyn, his oldest daughter, Jordan his only son and Jayda his baby girl, were his entire world. His children gave him strength during the rough times and laughter and joy all of the time. Cory’s artistic eye found beauty in everything around him and created beauty in his three children. He was so proud of his kids and, his family and friends will hold dear the stories we will be privileged to tell them one day of their funny, loving father.

Cory loved his family and would make a point to tell them that he loved and appreciated them as often as possible, sometimes with a hug but most frequently with a text and a nickname. Cory is survived by his parents, Dan and Jill Olson who raised him with unconditional faith, love and support; older sister, Amanda (Brian) Winge, younger sister, Becky (Justin) Blair, and younger brother, Sam (Debra) Olson whose memories, adventures, inside jokes and nicknames will hold special places in their hearts. His six nephew, James, Donovan, Nathan, Johnathan, Lincoln and Weston; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, close friends; and the mother of his three beautiful children. He had a knack for making friends easily and making all friends feel like his best friend.

Cory was proceeded in death by his grandparents, Bob and Carole Storm and Marcelle and John Vrtiak. Waiting for him at the Door to Heaven was his uncle and Godfather, Fredrick (Floyd) Storm.
