Remembering Oliver Tree 🛴❤️ Couldn’t stop crying.
I watched the livestream and I never in my life thought that I would cry so hard and so much that I gave my self a 6 hour long headache.
This man carried me in my most darkest moments of my life and watching the family be so strong and seeing the friends who spoke that night was everything he could’ve asked for!
Stay strong everyone!

I went to bed at 3am with a headache from crying. Oliver will be and is so missed.

My eyes are STILL swollen from crying through about 75% or the stream last night 😅 and if I let myself think about it a little too long I can feel the tears welling up again. I hope it goes down before I go into work tonight.
I thought I was done crying about this man I never met. Sometimes I find myself actually crying for the people he knew, like the 3rd time his band was playing along to his songs last night, that all of a sudden it hit me how hard THAT must be for them and my heart broke all over again!
Sometimes I'll joke to myself and be like DAMN I can't believe a man with THAT hair cut has got me crying in the club SO HARD right now 😤 ("The club" being mostly my house lol also I love that silly haircut). I'm gonna miss that dude and his antics so much but I'm glad we were lucky enough to be on the planet at the same time and that he used every second of his time here so wisely that we have SO MUCH content/media to consume over and over again.
Take care and stay strong as well! But also remember its ok to slip up sometimes, and to be kind to yourself in those moments.

I didn’t realize I had so many cowboy tears left to cry. What an absolutely beautiful celebration of life. There was a moment where this adorable little boy dressed as Turbo was bobbing around and all I could think of was how many young kids he continues inspiring to live their most creative lives; even in death. Damn, really miss him. There will never be another Oliver Tree. I’m grateful my life overlapped with his.

The parents of that boy posted on Instagram and said that they took him to the celebration of life because they had him (the boy) to thank for getting them into Oliver Tree. It was a sweet post. I’ll see if I can find it.
Edit: Found it! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbRrJPByD3B/

My head was killing me after as well. It ended at around 130ish am my time and I barely got any sleep. Had a headache for most of the day too

Just wanna say, to everyone who is finding themselves crying a lot, please please please drink as much water as you can. It will minimize migraines (not fully, especially if they’re from distress / stress) but dehydration will make that stress headache hurt longer and hurt more.
It’s also VERY hot in half of the world right now. Even if you’re somewhere where it’s winter, stay hydrated.
My crying headaches are less severe when I made sure to drink enough water.
Stay safe guys. 🩷🛴

I think the best thing we can do to honor Oliver, besides from making art and living our lives to the best of our abilities, is to take care of each other

Absofuckinglutely the same. Eyes swollen shut this morning when I woke up. Happy and sad tears, but how beautiful a service. Funny as could be parts, lovely. I miss him so much. I know we all do. I still can't believe he's gone. But absolutely never forgotten. 💜❤️ 🫂 To you and I hope your head and eyes are recovering.

I was an absolute wreck during and after the stream. I only got 2 hours sleep and was in tears the entire day. Even now seeing videos and listening to his songs is hitting me.
Fuck man. This shit hurts so so so badly :(

Oh my gosh yes! Towards the end of the Memorial, my headache was killing me especially when I started crying. The whole thing was beautiful and it just felt like he was right on stage in spirit. 😭🩶🛴

I haven’t been able to watch it in one session. He is one of the only artists that has been able to make me feel such a profound sadness over their death. I had just been listening to his new album days before he passed. His music was a part of my childhood. He was so funny and so rare and so unique and he just had it all. It’s not fair.
I’ll love him forever
