This Saturday, July 25, we will be celebrating the life of Oliver Tree Nickell.
The program and livestream will begin at 7:30pm PST and consist of live music, tribute videos from Oliver’s life, and various speakers from Oliver's friends and family.
Limited tickets are available but there will also be a live stream for those who can’t make it in person.
Link in bio to sign up.
I predicted this would happen on stream and even tried reaching out to Conor to explain that he is going through an initiation, and that his demons will dominate him if he does not find his soul rhythm.
This is the fate for many zoomers,
the battle of the inner world.
this place will always be special to me. last year you gave me a chance and it sparked an entirely new chapter of my career. coming back this year and feeling that same love was something I’ll never forget.
forever grateful to everyone who pulled up and shared this moment together. stay safe and take care of each other ❤️
When my dad was in boot camp two teenage boys tried to kill themselves by drinking bleach and were caught. That’s how bad the treatment was and guess what happened? They were paraded around and made fun of for being weak before being discharged with zero counseling for the trauma they experienced.
When my mom was in boot camp a girl literally had a mental breakdown over the verbal abuse and tried to hop the fucking fence on the base to escape in the middle of the night with nothing other than the clothes on her back. They were never told what happened to her other than she was caught.
Being verbally abused 24/7 doesn’t make you strong. It makes you numb and traumatized. There’s a reason why so many vets end up alcoholics and drug addicts. They go through so much trauma and a lot of it happens before they’re ever even deployed. Not sure what’s it’s like now but back then mental health access was not a big thing in the military nor was it encouraged. If you were struggling with mental health then you were seen as weak and unworthy of serving.
It’s an incredibly fucked up system and in my opinion it is barbaric recruiting teenagers to go through that. Your brain is still developing at that age and it definitely isn’t capable of properly processing the intensity of the military.
Can’t recommend Full Metal Jacket enough if you want to understand what it’s truly like for teens entering the military. There are consequences to grooming children into becoming killers with emotional suppression. They either go on to hurt others or they end up hurting themselves. Either way, the ones responsible for making them that way never face any consequences.
Rest in peace Oliver Tree Nickell June 29th, 1993 - June 14th, 2026

Oliver is now back in California where he can finally rest. His legacy will live on through his foundation/endowment named “Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Grant For Baby Geniuses” coming soon. This is something that Oliver had put together before his passing, written in his will. We will make sure his wish comes to fruition so that more joy, love and art can be spread into the world, that was his final wish.

I’m still in denial that one of my favorite people is no longer with us. I’m absolutely gutted, words can’t describe how special Oliver was to so many people. Tragedy has taken life way too soon, with so much creativity and vibrance and talent. I’d like to think he’s on his next adventure somewhere in the universe. Horrible horrible horrible, I don’t even know how to process this. Rest in peace Lucas Vignale, Lucas Chaves, Gaspi & Oliver. Love you brother we are all going to miss you @Olivertree
