Ronald Ellis Olsen, age 78, passed away on September 14, 2021, in San Angelo, Texas. Ronald was a gracious and dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. He was born on October 22, 1942, in Buckley, Washington. His childhood was mostly spent in San Diego, California and later in Tacoma, Washington where he would graduate from Woodrow Wilson High School. He moved on to serve our country with multiple declarative years in the Navy. Ronald then began his passionate journey with what he took a great deal of pride in, R. E. O. Painting. He gifted countless customers with his remarkable talents painting homes across communities for over 50 years. He meticulously strove for perfection to overly please his extensive clientele. His devotion and work ethic repeatedly left others applauding in awe. Ron was a true artist with unmatched craftsmanship. A man of not many words, but rather many masterpieces. His legacy will forever live in the paint his brush gave life to.
