ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We would like to thank all who showed favor and love during this time. Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent those beautiful flowers, that we saw sitting there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts we thank you so much for whatever part May God Bless You All!

The Family

Two memorials will be held to celebrate Oscar’s life: Saturday, March 4, at Floyd Williams Funeral Home in Dorchester, MA; and Saturday, March 11, at Main Street Missionary Baptist Church in Biloxi, MS. Oscar will be cremated in honor of his wishes to be “sprankled” around the world.

Donations can be made to Venmo: @DrMTJames, and cards can be mailed to 358 Watertown St., Apt 3L, Newton, MA 02458. If you wish to send flowers, please send them to one of the two funeral homes for his services.

In 2016 Oscar moved to Boston, MA, for a fresh start after experiencing the politics of the educational system and the pain of losing his parents, friends, and some of his students. Over time he healed from the depression and grief he faced and began to explore his path to happiness and fulfillment. While in Boston, he worked as a courier for the Salvation Army. His career began to truly flourish as he made a name for himself in the Boston Medical Cannabis Industry. At the time of his passing Oscar was employed at Zyp Run, where he had plans to grow with the company.

Beyond all else, and most importantly, Oscar was a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. His smile, laughter, and sense of humor were infectious. There was nothing pretentious about him. His insights and ability to distill the complex to the comprehensible helped others feel safe, seen, and heard.

To Oscar, his family and friendships were everything, and he was fiercely loyal. It is strange and unreal to know that Oscar’s journey here is now finished. As his family, we trust that God’s hand, which guided Oscar throughout his life, was with him through his transition. We pray that God will heal the sadness in our hearts and help us rejoice in our memories.
