Olen was many things to many people.

To his family, he was a kind hearted man who never lost his temper and was always a Christian.

He is also survived by his son, Danny Brock and his wife, Claire and their two sons, Jeff Brock and Tim Brock both of Ft. Worth, Texas; granddaughter, Jacklyn O’Connor and her husband, Chad O’Connor.
