Excerpt from the obituary of a 12 year old killed by a gun last Friday:

Oskar was an unbelievably witty young person who loved to laugh and make everyone around him laugh. He enjoyed speaking in accents and doing impersonations, especially ones of his mom, his sister Gracie and his grandmother Carol and he endlessly entertained his family. He had a voice like his dad’s and loved music and movies. He had an incredible memory and was extremely smart and inquisitive by nature, often capturing adults in long, intelligent conversations. He also loved fireworks and cute girls and always found joy in the small things in life. He loved his brothers and sisters and playing outdoors and camping. He was curious about how things worked and was constantly questioning things. He truly was wise beyond his years.
