Oliver attended Mansfield City Schools and was on the wrestling team at Malabar High School and graduated with the class of 1976. After school he joined the Navy and served his country for four and a half years. He traveled the world and fell in love with the sea. When Oliver left the service he came back to Ohio and started learning different trades such as masonry, electrical, plumbing, drywalling and roofing, He also took in the trades of working on motorcycles and cars. He was the jack of all trades and master of all of them. Oliver then went to work with his mother and stepfather Elder Lorenzo Corey in their family business. He also loved music and while he could fix just about everything, back in the day he was a DJ and played a lot of events in the state of Ohio. 

 He had a lot of things that he loved to do but outside of all of his accomplishments that he had, he had love for God, his children and people close to him and fishing. He was allergic to fish but you could not stop this man from fishing. He would fish with his mom and after she passed, him and his Aunt Elaine would hop in the car and be gone everywhere. And when it came to church he was truly devoted to his church. He was a faithful member of Community Temple and then he moved with his family to New Jerusalem Church of God in Christ. He had different roles in the church such as groundskeeper handyman, bus driver, chauffer security for his pastor Elder Dennis and also for his bishop, Bishop Perry. Anything that the pastor or the members asked him to do, he did. He loved his church and was a faithful member.
