A man in Fargo, North Dakota had a strange request for his eventual death, he only wanted a two word obituary that said “Doug died.” The man felt that going on about where you work, and the like, after death was unnecessary. But he seems to have only gotten part of his wish; while his obituary was appropriately brief, the newspaper wrote a separate article that ran several hundred words and essentially acted as the last ode to the gentleman’s life.
