"Please come share w/us the short, beautiful life of Oliver who will be greatly missed but not forgotten," Lomas tweeted in her announcement of the services.

Lomas-Davis, from Los Angeles, California, gained fame a few weeks ago at a Las Vegas campaign stop for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, at which the infant was dressed as the candidate in glasses, a tie and a white wig.

The child's aunt, Anastasia Lomas, has set up a GoFundMe campaign with funds going toward the wake, funeral and burial expenses, as well as counseling for the family. As of this writing, the campaign has raised more than $18,000.

"This amazing little boy will be laid to rest at Forestlawn in the Hollywood Hills," the crowd funding page states. "Born 10/17/2015. Happiest baby ever! Tragically taken by SIDS."
