Corwyn (Cory) William Zimbleman
Tucson, AZ (formerly of Champaign, IL)
Age 53. Born April 18, 1952 to the late Willard and Gilda (Ebert) Zimbleman, died June 10, 2005. Throughout his life Cory was an extraordinary artist. His artistic talent and imagination would bring awe to all who viewed his work. His works grace an LP cover and numerous books; using Computer Aided Design (CAD) he designed home and business exteriors, interiors, and furniture for several architectural firms. His talent went beyond the fine arts as he added sculpturing, woodworking, metals, and other mediums to his repertoire. Having never gained the recognition he deserved in his own lifetime his family hopes to publish a book of his works. Another of his passions was herpetology. As a child he was always bringing home reptiles. His friends nicknamed him "Snake." He even built a turtle pond in his backyard. An avid atheist, he studied the bible and religion with more fervor than most Christians. He had strong political opinions and followed Amy Goodman's radio broadcast "Democracy Now." Alas the stolen election of 2000 and living with right-winged Americans finally brought him to his early demise. Stress from living in this unjust country brought about several heart attacks rendering him disabled. Cory, a great man, so very talented, compassionate and intelligent, dedicated to the arts and humanities and the environment, will be greatly missed by his wife, family, and friends. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Montiel; his step-daughter, Esperanza Hernandez both of Tucson; his brother, Mike (Dana) of St. Louis, MO; his sisters, Susan St. Claire of San Jose, CA and Laura Zimbleman of Ypsilanti, MI, and his turtles Heidie, Skinhead and Studley and many other pets. A memorial service will be held Tuesday, June 21, 2005 from 6:00 p.m.- 9:00 p.m., please call 883-2862 for information. Cremation has taken place.

If someone wants to put a political message in their obit, more power to them. It's their last word after all. I remember seeing an obit last fall where the woman had written something like, "Don't send flowers. If you want to honor my memory then vote Bush out of office on November 2."

People don't typically write their own obituary though. Plus I would keep my herpetology fetish on the downlow, and change my nickname from "snake" to "Cobra" because it is just so much tougher.

I'm working on mine right now.
I bet it's not super uncommon. I had an uncle that shopped around for his own coffin and stuff. He planned everything with my aunt so she didn't have to do it once he kicked.

This idea would make an interesting thread unto itself.
"C4Lukin, 1980-2005. Once had sex with a very attractive woman. Had a problem with drunken late night posting on the Red Mosquito forums. He never could figuire out his fax machine. Hopes he did not die like a pussy, or at least that his death was somewhat humerous. Survived by no children, thank God!"

If you knew you had six months to live, I bet you could come up with something better.

B, 1976-2005: Died upon announcement of Bush's winning of a third term. Had been completely health, right up until that point. Go figure!

Saddam Hussein loved Doritos, hated Froot Loops, admired President Reagan, thought Clinton was "OK" and considered both Presidents Bush "no good." He talked a lot, worried about germs and insisted he is still president of Iraq as late as 2005.
