Vale Ollie Olsen. Ollie was a 66 year old musician who has been active in the Australian music industry since the 70s.
In recent years, Ollie’s health significantly declined. He was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy, a terminal neurodegenerative disease that has led to him requiring full-time care, which was provided by his wife Jayne.
Sadly, Ollie passed away on 16 October.
Please donate today to help cover his funeral costs, as well as reimburse some of the medical and living costs associated with Ollie’s care.
