The shocking obituary penned by a man from Florida for his father has gone viral, with many thanking him for his honesty.
Forty-eight-year-old Larry Pfaff Jr wrote the brutal obituary for his father, calling him “narcissistic” and admitting he was “incapable of love,” writing that he was glad that “evil does eventually die.”
“Lawrence H Pfaff Sr was born in Belmont, NY, on April 16, 1941. He passed away on June 27, 2022, living a long life, much longer than he deserved,” he wrote in the obituary, which was posted in The Florida Times-Union on July 2.
“He is survived by his three children, no four. Oops, five children. Well as of 2022 we believe there is one more that we know about, but there could be more. His love was abundant when it came to himself, but for his children it was limited.”
He continued, bashing his late father for being an “abusive alcoholic” adding: “From a young age, he was a ladies’ man and an abusive alcoholic, solidifying his commitment to both with the path of destruction he left behind, damaging his adult children, and leaving them broken,” it said.
Pfaff Jr continued, describing his father’s so-called “hobbies,” which he said were “abusing his first wife and children… He enjoyed the life of a bar fly for many years and had a quaint little living space, studio, above his favorite hole in the wall, the club Nashville.”
He shared that for twenty years, his father worked as an NYPD officer, but eventually they “took away his gun and badge, replacing them with a broom until he could get his act together” because of his drinking.
To conclude his heartbreaking comments, he admitted that it would be “challenging to miss Lawrence Sr because he was narcissistic. He was incapable of love.”
“Lawrence Sr’s passing proves that evil does eventually die, and it marks a time of healing, which will allow his children to get the closure they deserve. Lawrence, Sr can be remembered for being a father to many, and a dad to none.”
After his obituary went viral, Pfaff Jr spoke out about why he wrote what he wrote, telling First Coast News that he actually started writing it before his father died, and only finished it recently.
He explained that it was “a way for me to really cleanse myself and let that part of my life go.”
Surprisingly, many people have thanked him for being honest about his abusive father, and not pretending he was something he’s not.
