Kansas Man Who Died Of COVID-19 Slams Anti-Maskers In Obituary

A Kansas man who died from COVID-19 left a message in his obituary for anti-maskers. 

On Tuesday. 81-year-old Marvin J. Farr died in a nursing home without his family by him after battling Covid-19. In his obituary, Farr and his family penned how the result of people not caring about curving the spread of Coronavirus ends with his death, along with 275,000 others. 

“He died in a room not his own, being cared for by people dressed in confusing and frightening ways,” the post read. “He died with COVID-19, and his final days were harder, scarier, and lonelier than necessary. He was not surrounded by friends and family.” 

The obituary went on to detail about the man who was born after the Great Depression and World War II, a time when many in the country were at their lowest points financially, mentally, and emotionally.  The letter spoke on how the county’s refusal to protect one another has led to hundreds of thousands dying sooner than they should have. 

“Americans would be asked to ration essential supplies and send their children around the world to fight and die in wars of unfathomable destruction,” the obituary said. “He died in a world where many of his fellow Americans refuse to wear a piece of cloth on their face to protect one another.”

A man of faith, he was also a man who believed in science. The obituary said that Farr would care for those who “harmed him the deepest,” saying it’s a “sentiment echoed by the healthcare workers struggling to do their jobs as their own communities turn against them or make their jobs harder.” 

Farr’s daughter, Courtney Farr, shared in a letter that her Dad had been in isolation since Thanksgiving, adding that the two loved to debate about politics. She said the obituary was meant to be “political” for that very reason. She went on to urge people to donate to hospitals, homeless shelters, and senior support organizations. “This winter will be hard on everyone, but it will be hardest on our most vulnerable people,” Courtney said.
