Oakley Robert Seaboy, 20 days old, came into this world early on March 16, 2022 to parents Sarah LaBatte and David J. Seaboy at Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD. He was considered a micro preemie weighing 14 ounces and was a strong fighter. Oakley was loved by all that met him. The NICU nurses and staff became a big part of Oakley's family and adored him dearly. He was a very calm baby and would let the nurses do his care every four hours, including drawing his blood. Most babies would move and be difficult but Oakley loved the attention. He would try to open his eyes even though they were still fused shut. While receiving care, he would play with the plastic tubes. He disliked being repositioned and preferred having his hands by his face. Oakley enjoyed when his mother would talk to him and hold his head, it would make his vitals improve. Oakley was baptized on April 5, 2022 by Chaplin Ken in Sanford. Oakley was placed in his mother's arms before he passed away. He got to feel her warm embrace and kisses. Oakley passed peacefully and quietly with his mother and father by his side.

Oakley is survived by his parents, Sarah LaBatte and David Seaboy; two brothers Evan and David O. LaBatte; sister Josalia LaBatte; Maternal Grandmother Carrietta R. Greeley; Paternal grandparents April Neiss and David M. Seaboy; Paternal Great grandmother Sophronia Crawford and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Oakley is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather Orville LaBatte, Great Grandmother Violet Heminger, and Clarence Greeley Sr. great-grandparents Violet Barse and Archie LaBatte and paternal great-grandparents Arlene Bordeaux and Cleveland Neiss.
