An Iowa man has become a viral star with his hilarious obituary in which he apologized to those he “offended” with his brutal honesty and wished God “good luck” in welcoming him to the other side.

was an Army veteran from Spillville who passed away last month at the age of 63 following a “short” battle with cancer. His family says that he will be remembered for always wearing shirts “unbuttoned three-quarters down,” “getting the beer and ice for family reunions” and his fearless way of approaching life.

“If you are wondering if you may have ever met him, you didn’t — because you WOULD remember. For those of you that did meet him, we apologize, as we’re sure he probably offended you,” the obituary read. “He was world renowned for not holding back and telling it like it is.”

The obituary stated that Tim was born in 1955 and that he arrived in the world “100 years too late” as his personality would have made for an ideal “weathered cowboy in the old west or rough and tough pioneer,” though the author reported that he, perhaps, “should have been Amish.”

Tim spent years serving in the Army, which “provided for many interesting episodes and stories, detentions and demotions,” as well as a few “run-ins” with the law on a local and global scale. Afterwards, he worked as a tool and die maker at Stanley Black & Decker for more than 30 years, and knew his colleagues to be friends and “a bunch of morons.”

Tim left behind his partner of 13 years, Cheryl Murray, as well as his two sons Cody and Josh, and two granddaughters “that he adored and taught to cuss,” along with his mother Mary, six siblings, and many relatives and loved ones that always “wanted to hang out near him.”

“He will be having a reunion with his infant daughter Ashley, his brother Duke, his dad Bill, many aunts and uncles and a handful of cousins that passed before him,” the obituary said. “Tim was in charge of getting the beer and ice for our family reunions, so they will be happy to see him.”

“Despite his crusty exterior, cutting remarks and stubbornness, there is actual evidence that he was a loving, giving and caring person,” it added. “That evidence is the deep sorrow and pain in our hearts that his family feels from his passing.”

“He was ready to meet his Maker, we’re just not sure ‘The Maker’ is ready to meet Tim,” the obituary concluded. “Good luck God!”

Social media users have been praising the obituary for how hilarious it was.

“I did not know Tim, but I wish I had. What a beautiful obituary! So honest and real,” one social media user commented, with another adding, “Sounds like an awesome man, along with an even greater family. To be remembered in such a way as this obituary is written proves that.”

“I never met Tim, but I saw his story on the news in Australia, glad I came to see what the fuss was about and I have to say Tim you made my day!” a third user wrote. “My sincere condolences to Tim’s family, I have a feeling life isn’t going to be quite as exciting now.”
