Brief Obituary

In what may be one of the shortest obituaries ever published, the two word announcement simply read, “Doug died.”

85-year old Douglas Legler led a full life filled with humor and wit, according to his daughter Janet Stoll, but he was not a fan of long memorials.

“He said over and over, when I die I want my obituary to just say ‘Doug Died,’ ” says Janet Stoll, Legler’s daughter. “(Other people’s obituaries) would say ‘he was the president of this, a director of this’ and Dad would say, ‘What, couldn’t they hold down a job?’ ”

When Legler passed away on June 27, his family honored his wish of a short obituary, which was published in the The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead.

It has been pointed out that his obituary was actually shorter than his name.

His daughter concluded , “I’m sure he’s laughing up there now.”

Legler’s obituary is even shorter than the 92-year old Swedish man whose 2014 death announcement read, “I am dead.”
