Survived By: His wife Marcia, and Brother Kim

From Randyn Seymon:
"Jeff was a great guy. He was junior and senior class President, involved in High School sports. He traveled the world. He and Marcia ultimately settled on the big Island of Hawaii, purchased and lived in a beautiful home on a three acre Kona coffee plantation. Jeff enjoyed life on the island, and running in the annual underwear marathon in Kona. He was a great life-long friend and will be missed."

Jeff's Obituary

Jeffrey Brett Olsen was born in Oakland, CA in 1956 and was raised in Argentina and Alamo, CA. He graduated from Monte Vista H.S. in 1974 as class president. After completing a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from UC Berkeley, he completed a Master’s in Taxation from Golden Gate University, working as a CPA first for Deloitte Touche and then many years for PG&E. 

He resided in the firestorm area of Berkeley-Oakland, in a house designed by the Olsen's. He followed his passions for golf and travel. During his retirement, he and his wife of 35 years, Marcia, bought and ran a coffee farm in Kona, HI, until a rare neurodegenerative disease took hold. He passed away on July 1, 2021. There are no services planned. As per his wishes, his brain was donated to science at the Mayo Clinic. 

If you remember Jeff with a funny story or a kind thought turn it into action with a donation either to the Guide Dogs for the Blind (https://www.guidedogs.com/) or to further research in rare brain diseases including Lewy’s Bodies Dementia, MSA-C and other forms that are rapidly increasing - (https://www.multiplesystematrophy.org/charity/).
