Ollie George Falks, cherished husband, father, grandfather, friend and public servant left the home of his body and entered the home of the Lord on Friday, April 24, 2020. Born February 11, 1936 in Bay City, Texas, Ollie is the son of Ollie Mitchell and Charlotte Holloway Falks, and adored brother of 10 siblings. He graduated in 1955 from Bay City High School and proudly served this country as a member of the United States Air Force from 1955 - 1959. He met and fell in love with his beloved wife Florence Clardy Falks. They were married 47 years until her death in 2007. Following his honorable discharge from the Air Force, Ollie went to work with the Bay City Police Department as a patrolman. His passion for serving others began a life-long career in law enforcement. Ollie had a brief career with Houston Coca Cola and Frito Lay before returning to his passion and served as a Reserve Officer for Angleton Police Department. This led to a position as an APD patrolman and detective for several years. He spent the majority of his career with the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Department as investigator under the leadership of Sheriff E.J. ‘Joe’ King. After his retirement in 2003, Ollie worked along-side District Judge of the 412th District Court Edwin Denman as his bailiff until 2018. Ollie’s heart of service and love for his community reached others through his volunteering hands. The service he provided was that of a past member and President of the Brazoria County Peace Officers Association, member of the Sheriffs’ Association of Texas, the Lion’s Club and many youth organizations. Ollie sustained his faith life as a long-time member of the Second Baptist Church of Angleton and most recently as a member of Brazos Pointe Fellowship Church – Angleton campus. He continued to enjoy their fellowship and divine support, especially during his recent relocation to Baton Rouge and his new adventure as an LSU Tiger fan! Always a kind heart and with a great love for his family and friends, Ollie showed compassion to his countless nieces, nephews and cousins who affectionately called him “Uncle Brother.” He will be faithfully missed by them all, as well as his old camping and domino playing pals, his amazing law enforcement family and his little “Trč”– a 4-legged companion who loved John Wayne westerns and Longhorn football as much as Ollie did. Happy memories and funny stories will keep his spirit alive as we continue life on our earthly home. Ollie leaves behind those he treasured the most – children; Dwayne (Connie) Baton Rouge, LA, Keith (Becky) Richwood, TX and daughter Cheryl (Bill) St. Joseph, MO, surviving siblings; Delores ‘Dee’ Harvey, Sugarland, TX, and Ed (Berry) Falks, Bandera, TX. Grandchildren Kyle (Nicole) Falks, Woodworth, LA, Katie (Mark) Mouton, Forney, TX, Tyler Falks (Shanna), Richwood, TX, and 6 great-grandchildren Hailey, Britney, Adelyn, Easton, Evan & “Doc” Watson, and Goddaughter Tammye Griffin. Serving as Honorary Pallbearers will be Sheriff EJ “Joe” King, Sheriff Charles Wagner, Judge Ed Denman, Dorman Davidson, Richard Foreman, Richard Dicks, Bill Isereau, Randy Rhyne, Matt Wingo, Faye Coupland, Sammy Holloway, Bob Kiefer, Arthur Velasquez, Buck Henson, David Miles, Wayne Cato, Becky McCall, Rex McCall, Tracy Williams, Wayne Dubose, Brooks Bass, & Scooter Phillips Graveside Services to be held 2:00 PM on Thursday, April 30, 2020, at Bay City Cemetery with Pastor Greg Pickering officiating. Bay City Tribune, April 29, 2020
Longtime
investigator, bailiff dies at 84 Ollie Falks was a gentle giant and a man of few words whose presence commanded respect. Almost contradictorily, the longtime law enforcement officer and court bailiff loved to “visit.” “You can’t be around Ollie very long and not be his friend because he was very outgoing and very caring,” retired District Judge Edwin Denman said. “Just an incredible man.” Falks died Friday at age 84, leaving behind many family members, friends and a slew of county officials to mourn. “He’ll be missed in the community,” County Judge Matt Sebesta said. “He was one of those icons.” Falks served in the U.S. Air Force before working for the Bay City and Angleton police departments. He spent most of his law enforcement career as a Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office investigator under the leadership of Sheriff E. J. “Joe” King. After his retirement in 2003, he began working as the bailiff in the 412th District Court at the Brazoria County Courthouse. A few days after Denman’s appointment to the 412th District Court, the judge went up to the courthouse to figure out “what to do.” “A large man walked up to me and introduced himself as Ollie Falks,” Denman said. He offered to be Denman’s bailiff, as he had been serving as the first substitute bailiff in the courthouse, Denman said. Denman asked J. Ray Gayle, the senior district judge at the time, if that would be a good decision. “Hire him,” Gayle immediately responded. That began the beginning of a close friendship. “Ollie helped me immensely, because when you go from practicing law to being a judge, you don’t have a clue,” Denman said. Falks never told him directly what to do, but was quick to offer the best examples he’d seen from other judges, Denman said. They both eventually retired, but kept up with each other through phone calls. Sheriff’s Capt. Richard Foreman also kept up with Falks that way, Foreman said. They worked together in the sheriff’s office and, although Falks never was his supervisor, Foreman cared more what Falks thought of him than any of his department heads. “It was just the way he carried himself,” Foreman said. “Ollie was a good, good guy.” Though he was generally quiet, he always offered others guidance when they needed it, Foreman said. “He always impressed me by the way that he treated people, even the bad guys,” he said. Falks was extremely close with his children and wife, Florence Clardy Falks, who died in 2007. At the time of his death, he was living in Baton Rouge to be close to his sons. He constantly talked about his children, Denman said, and it was very hard for him to lose his wife. Until the end of his life, Ollie continued to offer an obvious presence to everyone around him. He didn’t “exert” it, Denman said, it’s just who he was. “He was one of those men that commanded respect, just the way he carried himself,” Sebesta said. “He was a gentle giant with an extremely compassionate heart,” Denman said. Everyone has those people in their lives who they have the utmost respect for, even though they are not a family member, Foreman said. “Ollie was one of those guys. I wonder if he ever knew that,” Foreman said. “We lost a good one in Ollie.” There will be a graveside service for Falks at 2 p.m. today at Bay City Cemetery.
