Today, I was thinking about "my favorite kid" from the program in Kamloops, as I sometimes have, over the years. I have wondered how he has been and if his struggles ever became easier, and what wonderful things might he be putting that enthusiastic energy into these days. Then, I realized, I have a wealth of information at my fingers tips (the internet). So I typed in Oliver's name. This site came up and my heart sank.
Although, it has been 5 + years since Oliver has been gone, to me the news is new and heart breaking. And knowing that grief is never gone, it only changes, I imagine the family still feels this loss, frequently.
I will always remember Oliver for his intelligence, his humor/quick wit, and his enthusiastic energy....especially his ability to do the over-the-top TV evangelist bit whenever it might be called for....or not called for. It was an honour to have met him. Thank you for sharing him with the world. He will always be rememberd ❤
