A Virginia family has been left heartbroken after their 12-year-old son suddenly died. 

Oliver 'Oli' Forline passed away on August 26 in Arrington, about 40 miles outside of Charlottesville, according to his obituary. 

It is unclear how he died, but his devastated family has asked for 'everyone to be kind to one another.' 

'We never truly know what someone else may be carrying, and sometimes a simple act of kindness can mean more than we realize,' the page continued. 

Oliver leaves behind his father and mother, Jonathan Forlines and Gloria Hall, as well as his brother, Elisha Forlines. 

He and his brother, who also goes by Eli, 'were inseparable' and loved to do crafts, build Legos, play sports, and catch bugs together, the obituary read. 

'They often stayed up all night talking through the floor boards with one another,' the family said, adding that Oliver 'was the greatest big brother to Eli.' 

The young boy has been remembered as someone with a 'tender heart' who 'had a special way of making others feel cared for.' 

He was also religious and a member of the youth program at Calvary Baptist Church. 

Oliver was also involved in the local 4-H program, the recreation soccer program, and other clubs, his obituary continued. 

One of his favorite pastimes was reading up on scientific topics like rocks, gems, and bugs. He also loved to hike, cook, and use his 3-D printer, his family said. 

'More than anything, Oli will be remembered for his kindness, patience, gentle spirit, his creativity, and the love he showed to those around him.

'His life touched more people than he could ever have known, and his absence leaves an immeasurable hole in the hearts of his family, friends, church family, teachers, and community,' the page concluded. 

Calvary Baptist Church hosted a candlelight vigil for Oliver on Monday evening at a local high school football field. 

Attendees were asked to wear blue and bring a candle to the event, the church said in a Facebook post. 

Images from the memorial were shared online by Oliver's aunt, Angela Huffman Forlines. They showed a beautiful sunset surrounding the people who came out to support his family. 

An image of him was also on display on the field and surrounded by candles, flowers, and a soccer ball. 

'This was Truly amazing to see and I'm so grateful to know my brother and sister in law and nephew have so much support from their community,' Angela wrote. 

'The love, the stories and the tears showed just how many lives Oli touched in their community.'  

Oliver's funeral will be held on Saturday at Calvary Baptist Church, followed by a 'fellowship meal,' according to his loved ones. The service will also be livestreamed on Facebook. 

Instead of flowers, his family has asked for people to donate to the church's youth program that held such a special place in Oliver's heart. 

People have also been asked to bring a rock with them to the funeral because Oliver loved to collect them. 

Those rocks will go on to be used 'to create a special memorial garden in his memory,' the obituary said.
