Obits that will LAST FOREVER

Some obituaries are so compelling they will keep people alive forever. They might be amusing, inspiring or poignant. What’s important is that they paint a full picture so that you can just see how that person lived – not just died – and how and why they left the world a better place.

Here are a some we particularly like; we’ll add to them regularly.

Ellen Harper McGarr wrote her own obituary that appeared in the Idaho Statesman:

Dr. John Cheatham: Most obituaries don’t have actual titles, but rarely is one about a person as compelling and selfless as Dr. John Cheatham. Life Without Furniture would be a terrific movie, too, inspiring us all about what’s important – and it’s not a house full of things!
