He was born September 30, 1919 to the late Henry and Ida King. On June 8, 1941, he married Mary Jane Bauman and she preceded him in death in 2006. They were married for 66 years. Olen came from humble beginnings, attending a one room schoolhouse just down the road from his childhood home. Although he only attended school through the eighth grade, he was a very astute business man. He purchased his first crane in 1951 and began work at a gravel pit in Morenci, Michigan. His first job was building a 2 mile stretch of road. After 3 years he purchased 32 acres and started his own gravel business. After a number of years he sold that business and started a Redi-Mix business, purchasing 6 acres, 2 trucks and 2 mixers. He operated that business for 5 years, increasing the number of trucks and mixers to 6. He was approached by someone wishing to purchase his business and sold it. He then created Olen King Asphalt Company. For many years he owned and operated King Crane Service and worked until he was 90 years old. Olen will be remembered for his philanthropy. He was always willing to help anyone whether it was providing them a job, picking up a hitchhiker or building someone a home at no cost. Many of the relationships he created through these efforts still exist today and span 60 or more years. As a result of his generous spirit and fun-loving personality, his influence, in the lives of so many, will remain forever. Shortly after he was married, he was drafted into Civilian Public Service in Wilmington, Delaware, where he worked in a state mental institution for 3 years before moving back to Ohio. He was active in his church, served for many years on the board of Grace Gospel Mission in Toledo, Ohio, and shared his faith with many. Olen is survived by his children, Brenda (EJ) Horst of Archbold and Sharon (Jim) Haxton of Toledo; 5 grandchildren, Alan (Annie) Horst, Susan (Doug) Gerig, Brian (Angie) Horst, Shane (Mariann) Hillard and Kyle (Melody McGee, fiancé) Hillard.
