Charles Boehm, 41, penned the unconventional tribute for his 74-year-old father, Robert Boehm, and told the Washington Post that he had never written an obituary before. 

Robertson Funeral Directors shared the obituary on Facebook, where it hit over a million views and received praise from delighted readers. 

"Robert Adolph Boehm, in accordance with his lifelong dedication to his own personal brand of decorum, 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 obituary reads.

Charles went on to write about Robert's marriage and early days as a father. 

"Raised Catholic, Robert managed to get his wife Dianne pregnant (three times) fast enough to just barely miss getting drafted into the Vietnam War by fathering Michelle, John, and Charlotte between 1967 and 1972," Charles wrote.

"Much later, with Robert possibly concerned about the brewing conflict in Grenada, Charles was born in 1983.

"This lack of military service was probably for the best, as when taking up shooting as a hobby in his later years, he managed to blow not one, but two holes in the dash of his own car on two separate occasions, which unfortunately did not even startle, let alone surprise, his dear wife Dianne, who was much accustomed to such happenings in his presence and may have actually been safer in the jungles of Vietnam the entire time."

Charles wrote about his father's unconventional sense of style, love of collecting historical weapons and wide selection of harmonicas, which he would play "to prompt his beloved dogs to howl continuously at odd hours of the night to entertain his many neighbors".

"We have all done our best to enjoy/weather Robert's antics up to this point, but he is God's problem now," the obituary read. 

Charles said the colourful obituary was not out of disrespect but a fitting way to remember his funny and unpredictable father.
