I will never forget Oliver's beautiful art, nor the community built on Tumblr through the sharing of his art and posts. I wish I'd gotten to know him better; his incredible soul, kindess, wit, creativity, and outlook will live on through those who knew and loved him. Rest in peace my friend.

My condolences to Oliver's family. I first met Oliver when we were kids and would play around the neighborhood. It feels like forever ago we were all hanging out on the trampoline. May you rest in peace and love.

I didn't know him, but he was a huge influence on me. I can't imagine how hard losing him was to those who knew him. I looked up to his art, his outlook, his sense of humor. It's hard to process that he's gone.
I hope he knows his legacy is of joy and kindness.

I didn't know Oliver personally at all but we share a name, and his Tumblr posts were always some of the funniest on my feed. Rest in peace man, you brought lots of people lots of laughs and you'll be remembered forever.

Me and Oliver were friends online for a good few years before we stopped talking around last year. I had a few dreams that we all started talking again, I wish I'd popped in and said something sooner now. One of the last times we called I remember he said some very kind things about me that I still think about a lot. I wish that we got to be friends again before he went, I kinda thought maybe we all needed more time before we started talking as a friend group again. I wish he got more time, I'm so sorry to hear that he was gone so soon after things started looking up for him. I wish he'd gotten more time to love life. Rest in piece Oliver, you didn't deserve to go so soon

I knew Oliver very briefly, we were online friends, but I remember him being one of the funniest and most generous people I knew. I used up look up to him a lot, through his art and posts, and a lot of the characters he shared still resonate with me. I was struggling with money a few years back and my pet bird had died; I opened art commissions to try to pay for the cremation, and Oliver bought out every commission slot, and just from the money he had given me, I was able to pay for the cremation in full. I’ll forever be grateful for his generosity, and for the time I had with him as my friend. May his memory be a blessing.

I’m sorry to hear about his passing. His work brought untold joy to myself and to thousands of others, and I wish that I had the chance to meet him. I hope it brings some solace to know how dearly he was loved.

We became mutuals on Tumblr during the height of the HLVRAI fandom, we didn't speak to each other much, but I am so shocked at his sudden passing. His presence will be sorely missed, you have my deepest condolences

Oliver was one of the most loving people I’d ever met. I spent three years with him before we decided to part ways. I will have to keep with me the weight of all the things left unsaid. He helped me get on me feet in some of the darker times in my life and showed me that things could be better. I’m sorry we never got to make amends Oliver. Rest easy. I loved you very much. - Brodie

I followed him online for years, he was always the funniest guy. I loved his Spore posts especially, they really connected with me the way I played that game as kid. Rest easy Oliver, you'll be missed in a million small ways by so many people every day.

I never followed Oliver but even just seeing his posts in passing put a smile on my face. His incredible spirit will live on forever in the hearts of many, many people. Even just reading about him from the obituary inspires me to do great things. I think I will now. Rest in peace, Oliver. I hope you know just how much people love you.

I'm sad that I can't say I knew him, but Oliver was always a joy to see on my computer screen. This world is incredibly difficult and scary to navigate but a good laugh makes it a little bit easier, and the heart a little bit lighter.
Rest in peace, Oliver, thank you for being you and sharing your thoughts and jokes with us over the internet. May your memory be a blessing.

I'm so sorry for this loss. We didin't know him super well but appreciated his posts on Tumblr a lot, and added to our experience. He was a kind and vibrant soul.
Rest in peace.

I'm sad to say I didn't know Oliver very well or for very long; we had been following each other on Tumblr for less than a year, but his posts never failed to make me smile. He was certainly one of my favorite people to see come across my dash. I know he will be dearly missed and I hope the celebration of his life eases the pain of his passing.

Oliver and I had followed each other for 8 years on Tumblr, originally because of a mutual interest in Lemon Demon. We exchanged messages only a few times, but even in those few words, it is obvious how kind, caring, and funny he was.

Oliver and I followed each other on Tumblr for a few years, he had such an incredible offbeat sense of humor and the site will never be the same without him... he was such a brilliant, funny, creative person and I'll always be grateful to him for introducing me to Modest Mouse through his blog. That music has gotten me through a lot, I wish I had thanked him for it and let him know how much of an influence he had. He really touched so many people's lives in so many ways. Rest easy Oliver.

Oliver made me laugh so often. There have been many days when I felt overwhelmed by things in my life and something funny he posted on his blog picked me up again and gave me a moment to laugh and be happy and remember the good things in life. He made such a positive impact on so many people's lives. I'm grateful my life touched his, even briefly through the internet.

we were never particularly close, but oliver and i were mutuals on tumblr for going on six years. his posts always made me laugh and i always enjoyed seeing him on my dashboard. his sense of humor was unbeatable and he brought a lot of light to mine and many other's lives, even if it was in a small way. feels surreal going onto his blog and seeing the announcement. sending my deepest condolences to his family and wishing you guys the best. wherever you are now, oliver, i hope its somewhere kind. sleep easy.

I didn't know Oliver personally but I followed him on tumblr. His posts often made me laugh and I'd also really been enjoying his latest side blog where he posted various goofy objects he'd found on the internet. He had a great sense of humour and that shone through in everything he shared. Sending so much love to Oliver's family in this agonising time. I'm so sorry for your loss.
