The little boy, nearly 4 months old, became an Internet sensation after his mother dressed him as Bernie for the presidential hopeful's Las Vegas campaign rally on Feb. 14.
Oliver's family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with wake, funeral and burial expenses, as well as counseling for the family.
His funeral will take place March 8 in Los Angeles.
