As Amanda told in her interview, she wasn’t happy as a kid and even dreamed that one day her parents would divorce. But her life changed for the better in 2002, when Oscar was arrested for driving under influence and was sent to rehab.

Later he stayed sober and cared about his wife Janie, twin daughters Andrea and Amanda, who suffered from dwarfism, and his two other kids – a son and a daughter – who were of average size.

In October 2022 Oscar passed away. The reason for his death was pulmonary fibrosis. his daughter Amanda asked her fans to pray for her dad in September 2022. At that time he had already been in a very bad condition. His daughter Amanda devoted a touching post to him after his departure. She confessed, that life without her dad never would be the same.

Oscar died at the age of 60 at Baylor University Medical Center. Till now he is missed by Amanda and her family members as he was an optimistic kind person, who cared about others and really loved his life.
