Oak Boese: His wife and daughter

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Gary Ramo and I am fundraising on behalf of Oak Boese's wife and daughter. Oak passed unexpectedly in his sleep on September 11, 2023.

To know Oak was to LOVE him. He was the type of person who made every person feel like they were included - that they were a part of whatever he was a part of. From his high school friends to his USMC friends to his St. Louis friends, to his family members in Indiana and Kentucky, Oak always added joy, laughter, and a feeling of connectedness to whomever he was around.

He left behind two beautiful and amazing women: his wife Michelle and daughter Riley. Riley is in her freshman year of high school. I cannot fathom what they are going through.

This fundraiser is for them. I know Oak would have done the same for me, or really, any of you, in the same situation. My goal is to raise enough money so that Michelle doesn't have to think about how the bills are going to be paid for a few months. Her and Riley need that time to focus on themselves and how they will move forward.

If you knew Oak and thought of him fondly (as I'm sure you do) - please help them out by donating an amount that is comfortable for you. I know Oak would be so proud to know that his friends stepped up when he needed it. Because he always stepped up for us.
