The family and friends of Robert Boehm of Clarendon, Texas may be mourning his death, but they're also having a bit of a chuckle at his expense, and so is the rest of the internet, all thanks to his son Charles Boehm.

While many obituaries are straightforward and formal, some can be written with humor or unique personal touches, especially when the deceased or their family wants to celebrate their personality or life story in a memorable way.

And that's exactly how Charles Boehm paid tribute to his father, Robert, when he passed away at the age of 74. In the obituary, right from the beginning, Boehm sets the tone explaining how his father “muttered his last unintelligible and likely unnecessary curse on October 6, 2024, shortly before tripping backward over ‘some stupid mother****ing thing’ and hitting his head on the floor.”

The obit hilariously describes the years in which he met his wife, had children to avoid being drafted and lists his several interests.

Then, when you think it's about to get serious, the younger Boehm writes:

Over the last eight months, if you have not met Robert or seen his road show yet, you probably would have soon. We have all done our best to enjoy/weather Robert's antics up to this point, but he is God's problem now.

The obit has made the rounds on the internet- and on the tribute page, many people from all over the world have taken the time to pay tribute to Boehm as well as proclaim they, too, want to live a life like Robert!

I'm sure the loss of his father is profound, but if this obituary is any indication of the life the Boehm children lived, I'm sure the love ran deep! RIP Robert, you're God's problem now!
