Brandon, S.D. (KELO AM) - A 57 year old man from Brandon is making headlines in the afterlife thanks to a witty obitituary he wrote himself.
Steven Beck died over the weekend after complications from heart failure, a condition which "offended him greatly" according to his self written remembrance.
Beck described himself as someone who was born "at an early age," who went on to graduate from Brandon Valley High School. From there he "spent some years wasting the money of his parents, who, fortunately, were patient and loving people," as he earned a degree in journalism from South Dakota State University.
He went on to say that he was preceded in death by about a bazillion people when you think about it, and told all his friends that he will be waiting for them on the other side, "because now he knows and you don't"
But again, in Steven's own words, "no hurry, take your time."
