I had to post this one:
Kevin McGroarty once told a close friend his ideal way to die: Naked. Riding a motorcycle. On fire. Off a steep cliff known as Campbell’s Ledge, which overlooks the Susquehanna River in Exeter Township.
At age 53, McGroarty recently died in a much quieter — and private — manner following some health problems. But, in death, McGroarty has become an Internet sensation for his parting words on Earth — a hilarious self-written obituary that matches the tone of his envisioned grand exit. It kicks off with his final accomplishment: “McGroarty achieves room temperature.”
Mr. McGroarty leaves behind no children (that he knows of), but if he did their names would be son: "Almighty Thor" McGroarty, and daughter: "Butter Cup Patchouli."
Kevin J. McGroarty, 53, of West Pittston, died Tuesday, July 22, 2014, after battling a long fight with mediocracy.
Born 1960 in the Nesbitt Hospital, he was the bouncing baby boy of the late Lt. Col Edward M. McGroarty and Helen Jane Hudson McGroarty (whom the New York Times should have noted as: extraordinary parents). He was baptized at St. Cecilia Church in Exeter, which later burned to the ground, attended Butler Street Elementary, which was later torn down, and middle school at 6th street in Wyoming, now an apartment building.
He enjoyed elaborate practical jokes, overtipping in restaurants, sushi, and Marx Brothers' movies. He led a crusade to promote area midget wrestling, and in his youth was noted for his many unsanctioned daredevil stunts. -
