George Michael was born in Wenatchee on January 2, 1959, to Donald and Linda (McCuistion) Olin. Growing up in the Entiat Valley with his parents, two younger brothers, friends and classmates, instilled George Michael with a strong sense of belonging and community support. From an early age, George Michael knew he would serve his country in some way. After graduating from the Entiat High School in 1977, he enlisted in the United States Navy. George Michael's naval career began June 1977, in San Diego, CA and included tours of duty aboard the U.S.S. O'Brien, U.S.S. Chancellorsville and the U.S.S. Ranger Sentinel. When at sea, he worked as a Sonar Tech and instructed while stationed in San Diego, CA and U.S. Naval Complex Rhode Island. George Michael was a true sailor, loving the open seas and experiencing the many treasures the world has to offer. After 20 years of service, George Michael retired from the U.S. Navy in 1997, at which time he moved back to the Entiat Valley, where he soon met and married Heidi Rhianon Allen in April 1999, adopting her two sons, Morgan and Michael, as his own. In 2000, they were blessed with the birth of their youngest child, Evan. George Michael is survived by his wife, Heidi; sons, Morgan, Michael and Evan Olin; parents, Donald and Linda Olin; brothers and their families, James, Phylisha and Grey Olin, and Lee and Bobbie Olin. His family wishes him always 'Fair Winds and Calm Seas' on his greatest journey yet. The Family would like to extend a heartfelt "Thank You" to all hospice care workers, in particular Nurse Barb. A Graveside Military Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 2, 2010, at the Entiat Cemetery, followed by a Potluck Gathering at Donald and Linda's home in Entiat.
