John David Oles was a son, father, brother, uncle, and friend. He was the sound of laughter with friends and family, and the smell of campfires by the river. He loved the outdoors, boasted immense pride in his children, and never failed to bring laughter to any interaction.

John passed away suddenly Tuesday morning at the age of 47, leaving his family and loved ones shocked and grieving. We are asking for help from those that loved him with the cost of cremation services and a gathering of remembrance.

Our plan is a day to celebrate his memory by the Sacramento River with food, music, and stories. (Details to be announced soon). If you were blessed to be a part of his life and legacy, we would love to share the celebration with you.

If you could help financially, it would be accepted gratefully by his family. But either way, you're love and support will always be appreciated.
