Bob Olson (67) was born in Ft Worth Texas on January 21, 1957 and passed away surrounded by family and friends on September 19th 2024 in Abilene Texas

Bob graduated high school from Saguaro High School in Tucson Arizona. Bob spent the biggest part of his life in Abilene and had many likes and hobbies, he was a generous, kind, honest, caring, and respected member of the community. Bob enjoyed life, his family and his friends. Bob touched many lives in his short time with us, he was always there to help in any way he could, ironically it was that kindness that took him from us. He just stopped to help. He owned several Bail bond businesses and owned Fast Company motorcycle shop where he helped countless numbers of people in both areas. He enjoyed motorcycles, guns the outdoors, helping people, but most of all his family. He was a generous man with a kind heart and loved by many and will be missed deeply. In 1986 he met Terri Chevrie and they were married on May 23, 1987 and spent 37 wonderful loving years together, building memories and becoming one with each other. Bob was adopted and decided to try and find his birth family so several years back he found them, and his family grew, and he really enjoyed getting to know them.
