An official statement has been shared on social media regarding the death of Oliver Tree. The “Life Goes On” artist tragically passed away on June 14 in a helicopter crash in Brazil at the age of 32. The post expresses, “Your legacy will live on forever.” It also thanks fans for their love and support during this tough time, saying it helps his family and friends cope with the loss.
The statement mentions that Tree is now “back in California where he can finally rest.” In his memory, a foundation called Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Grant for Baby Geniuses will be created. This was something Tree had planned before his passing and included in his will. The foundation aims to spread joy, love, and art, which was Tree’s final wish.
In an interview on the Zach Sang Show earlier this year, Tree explained that the foundation would focus on the “actual physical making of art” rather than just funding music education. He emphasized that it would support hiring people and renting equipment to help create art.
The post ends with a heartfelt message: “Love you all so much, Oliver would be so proud of every one of his supporters, friends, and family. Peace be with Oliver.
