Parents request military service members to attend funeral in uniform for 5-year-old who died of cancer.
The parents of a 5-year-old who died after battling cancer for nearly four years are asking for military servicemen and women to attend his Arkansas funeral in uniform.
Oakley was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2015, according to a GoFundMe campaign created to raise money for his medical treatment. He was cleared of cancer in June 2017 after"grueling rounds" of chemotherapy, surgery and a stem cell transplant, but was re-diagnosed just a month later after doctors discovered swollen lymph nodes during a routine checkup, according to the campaign.
Oakley was placed in hospice care at the Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock on June 15 after he began experiencing liver failure and his tumors continued to grow in"full force," his parents wrote. Nimmo described her son as an"incredible little boy" who fought the disease"with bravery like none of us have ever seen."
