I am so glad we had the pleasure of knowing Ollie. There was a circumstance in our life that he offered to help in any way even though it would require much of his time/traveling. Such a caring man. He was also such an inspiration during his trial. Even though I had not seen him in yrs. he was never forgotten. I know he will be missed greatly. Prayers for family by blood or ones by having Jesus as their dad. We will all join Ollie in Heaven one day.

There are no words to adequately express how much you were loved by so many. You touched the hearts of everyone you came in contact with. It was an homor everytime I sat under your leadership during a VN weekend. Your passion for ministering to young girls and showing them they are worth something was amazing. You showed that Jesus was our DADDY. You took my own daughter under your wing as if she was your own at a time she needed an "earthly" dad. You were so great in being there for her. I will always be grateful to you for that. You helped rescue her. You DID change the world....one person at a time!! I love you Ollie Horne and your family. They will always be precious to me!! You will be truly missed!! See you in heaven my friend!

Ollie was certainly a man if God. His kindness and gentleness reflected our Master's life. I have no doubt that our Daddy is celebrating his homecoming. Cristi, I love you more than you know. You were the perfect mate for Ollie. I pray that God will comfort you during this time of grief. Ollie used to tell us to crawl up in our Daddy's arms, be His princess, and tell Him what we needed. I encourage you to do that. The same Daddy that holds Ollie will carry you! Love you!

Not many people want the burden of responsibility for sharing their life as an example but you shouted for us to watch you live abundantly. We did and are all blown away. Not only did you remind us to keep our focus on our Heavenly Father, you even showed us how to do it with humor, passion and grace. Thanks for your example, your friendship and your courage.
