Man dies from COVID-19, and his obituary calls out anti-maskers - CNET

Its writer, Farr's son Courtney Farr, directly calls out those who refuse to wear face masks to protect others from COVID-19, which killed his father.

"He was preceded in death by more than 260,000 Americans infected with COVID-19," Farr's obituary reads.

The obituary notes that Farr was born in 1939, when Americans were about to be asked to ration food and supplies and to send their children off to fight and die in World War II.

In comparison, Farr "died in a world where many of his fellow Americans refuse to wear a piece of cloth on their face to protect one another.".

In a Facebook post, Courtney Farr wrote that most of the reaction to the obituary was positive, but that some people accused him of making the notice political.
