One late Iowa man will be honorably remembered as a legend in both life and death, thanks to a now-viral obituary that apologizes to those he “offended” with his gruff honesty, and wishes God “good luck” in welcoming the Army veteran to the other side.
Tim Schrandt of Spillville “made his last inappropriate comment” on March 29 and passed away after a “short” battle with cancer at age 63, as per the obit. His folks said 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 eulogy read. "He was world renowned for not holding back and telling it like it is."
Born in 1955, the eulogy explained that Schrandt 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.”

Absolutely priceless and loved by many!
Best local epitaph: "Your time's a coming" Local lore has it that it was a personal message to one left behind, but it might have been meant as a general message to anyone happening by the grave. A little too real for me!
