Olan was a man after God's own heart no doubt. He was a man who believed in helping anywhere he possibly could and he did. He will be greatly appreciated and missed here and greatly accepted and rewarded in Heaven. God bless his family and I was proud to have known him.

I am so sorry for your loss, I worked with Olan at First National/AmSouth and waited on him for years at the CU. Olan usually would call my husband to buy from the civitan club. He will be truly missed. Your family will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry to see this announcement. Mr. Olan was a class mate of my Mother (Joyce Maddox Pollett). While my Mother was living, I went to several of their "class get togethers". He was so kind. I am so sorry for your loss !!!
