Ronald Allen Oliver, 72, of Kingsland, GA passed away peacefully at his residence surrounded by his family on October 16, 2024.

Ron was born on April 17, 1952 in Burlington, NC to the late Edgar Allen Oliver and Marjorie Ann Boggs Oliver. Ron grew up on a farm in Alabama and then joined the U.S. Navy. He was stationed in San Diego, CA as a Navy recruiter where he fathered two sons, Kevin and Chris. After the Vietnam war he was stationed at Kings Bay and that is where he met the love of his life, Norma Jean Boatright. After retiring from the Navy, the couple moved back to Alabama. Ron spent the rest of his working years as owner/operator of an 18 wheeler. The couple then decided to build a house in Kingsland and move home to be closer with family. Ron was a huge Alabama fan but when the Georgia Bulldogs played, his family knew he was secretly rooting for them to win. Roll Tide!

Survivors include his sweet mother Marjorie Ann Oliver, his loving wife Norma Jean Oliver of Kingsland, GA, children, Kevin Oliver (Maureen) of Alabama, Chris Oliver of California, Eddie Carver (Denise) of Kingsland, GA, and Craig Carver (Jennifer) of Kingsland, GA.
