He was our walking miracle. The oncologist had given him three months to live when diagnosed in march of 2020, but he continued to live life with cancer, working between chemo, radiation and clinical trials. A bachelor who loved music collections of vinyl, basketball jerseys, and tennis shoes. Oscar was also a devoted Houston Oilers and Titans fan.

He lived by this motto; "By the decisions that I make today, how will it effect me and others tomorrow?".
