For anyone that has ever competed at the Enumclaw games, I just saw a post from his daughters saying that Wally Olecik passed away yesterday. This is a big loss for Heavy Events and for the PNW. Wally dedicated many years to the Heavy Events at Enumclaw and will be sorely missed. RIP Wally!

Wally was one of the greatest supporters of Heavy Events ever and he's going to be honestly missed. Fantastic memory for athletes and just a great, no-bullshit guy.
He brought Enumclaw right from infancy to the monster it is now. Incredible. RIP, Wally. Big shoes to fill for whoever follows. |

He was a great guy, definitely quirky. My only time at the Claw 2 years ago I thanked him for having me and said "next time, I'll do much better"
His response was something akin to "Hey, that's great" Zero F's given, but tons of effort to promote HGs in the PNW. RIP

Can't even begin to imagine Enumclaw without Wally...
Rest in Peace, brother.
