Honoring the Life and Legacy
of Oliver Woods Davis
Oliver was born to Rachel, Caleb, and his brother, Henry, in Asheville, NC. Everything was normal and perfect until it wasn’t.
Oliver was born full term with stage 3 HIE after suffering a cord compression his last day in the womb. The severe brain injury rendered him unresponsive and unable to breathe on his own. The family was transferred to UNC Childrens Hospital in Chapel Hill to undergo a heart and lung bypass procedure. Everything that could have been done to help, was done. Oliver fought bravely on life support for one month before passing. Our family will never be the same without him.
We hope to spread awareness, further research and resources, and support the families still facing the painful daily reality of HIE, in the NICU or at home. Let’s help prevent this tragedy from happening to other perfect babies.
We love you forever, Oliver.
