She lost her husband to cancer. Now, her obituary for her ‘dead sexy’ spouse has gone viral

In February, Crystal Sauser’s husband of 13 years died of cancer. The couple had three children together. 

Crystal most likely never thought she would be looking for information about drafting an obituary so early in her and her husband’s lives. Unfortunately, this is something Crystal found herself doing shortly after her hsuband’s death. 

Through her research, Crystal found herself writing her Husband, Eric A. Sauser’s obituary herself. In the obituary, Crystal refers to her husband as “just a rocking’ dude from Omaha, NE.” That obituary has since gone viral for its “illuminating humor.” 

In the obituary, Eric Sauser’s cause of death is categorized as “either leukemia or more likely being ‘dead sexy.'” 

Crystal said that writing the obituary came to her naturally stating, “It’s so easy to write something like this when you love them so much.”
