Daughter writes hilarious obituary for her dad

On August 15th, 2015, 59-year-old Rick Rice of Takima, Washington passed away due to "...complications resulting from being stubborn, refusing to go to the doctor, and raising hell for nearly six decades".

That was the lead sentence written by his daughter Jeni, acknowledging her dad’s passing in a local newspaper on Monday.

What an awesome way to pay respect to the man that gave birth to you. Clearly the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as the daughter's sense of humour in eulogizing about her dad's personality, charisma and life experiences continues on throughout the 500-word piece.

"There will be no viewing since his family refuses to honor his request to have him standing in the corner of the room with a glass of Jack Daniels in his hand so he would appear natural to visitors," the obituary said.

Sounds like something out of a Weekend At Bernie's movie. Kudos to the family for not going through with dad's idea of a natural look though. There really is nothing worse than being the embarrassing drunk at your own funeral.

All kidding aside, it seems as if Rick must have been a really cool guy. Instead of having flowers at his funeral, he asked that those paying respects commit to bestowing a random act of kindness upon others in his memory. He also wanted to be remembered for drinking Grey Goose and telling lies.

Considering the laid-back and generous tone found in his final requests, it makes complete sense that his daughter ends the piece by mentioning that her father's "larger-than-life persona and trademark jack-assery will not be forgotten." Jeni said on Facebook that she may have written the obituary, but it was Rick's voice that spelled it out.

"Well in all honestly I think he did, I just typed his words," she said.

Rest in peace Rick Rice. Way to make the world laugh through your daughter’s words. It’s obvious she got her sense of humour from dad.
