My Obituary

Today I decided to post an example of an obituary by writing my own future obituary. kind of weird and even creepy to be writing it but it was actually fun seeing as half of it was made up. Here it is:

On Febuary 29, 2084 a first call was made to Mueller's Greenlee Funeral Home for, not a stranger, but for a funeral director, more specifically Brevin Clifford. 
Brevin was born in a time before Flying cars, ipods and ipads and even before the dvd players to his loving and funky Father and Mother. As a child and young man he was quite the trouble maker and tease at home, yet he was know as a shy and quiet boy at school. He loved scouting and serving others whether it be by clearing snowy sidewalks, serving at the VA hospital or digging ditches for a neighbor. He also loved hearses and collected all sorts of mortuary relating toys And models. During middle school and high school he gained a love for funeral service by working at local funeral homes and for the Office of the Medical Examiner.
 During these years he also found the love of his life, the creative and lovely McCall. Following his mission in Guatemala Brevin and his sweetheart were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. They began their married life in Kennewick Washington where Brevin fulfilled his dream of becoming a licensed funeral director and embalmer. For the next 70 years Brevin served this community by assisting them lay their loved ones to rest. After graduating with his bachelors in psychology he expanded his service to the community even more through his counseling and loving guidance through the grieving process. 
Not only did he prosper in his work life, but he also prospered as a father, grandfather and great grandfather, by always leading this posterity with silliness and quiet dignity. 
Brevin is preceded in death by his parents and brothers Jeffery and Paxton. He is survived by his sweet wife McCall, his brother Ian, 2 sisters, his 3 children Liam, Mailey, and Fe, 15 grandchildren, and 40 great grandchildren. Services will be held Tuesday March 7th at 11am at the lds church. Following the service his body will be interred in Taylorsville cemetery. A viewing will be held Saturday March 4th at Mueller's Greenlee Funeral home from 5 to 8pm, Monday March 6th at Mcdougal's funeral home from 5-8pm, and Tuesday March 7 preceding the funeral service. 
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Brevin mortuary science scholarship Foundation.
