Oliver John pace

It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of Oliver John Pace—a beloved father, cherished son, and devoted brother—who tragically passed after bravely battling his mental health. Oliver was a gentle spirit whose kindness touched everyone around him. As a father, he taught his children the power of love and imagination; as a son, he expressed unwavering respect and gratitude; and as a brother, he gave warmth, humor, and unwavering support.

Though his struggle was invisible to many, it was real and relentless. Oliver faced it with courage, but ultimately, his greatest battle was too heavy to bear alone. In his passing, we are reminded of the stigma that still surrounds mental illness and the vital importance of compassion, awareness, and open dialogue.

We hold onto Oliver’s memory—the way he laughed, the stories he shared, and the genuine care he showed in every precious moment. May he rest in peace, free from pain.

If you or anyone you know is struggling with mental health, please reach out. You matter. You are loved. You are not alone.

As his family prepares to lay him to rest, any support—no matter how small—towards his funeral costs would be deeply appreciated. Your kindness during this difficult time means more than words can express, and will help give Oliver the farewell he so greatly deserves.
