A Kansas son’s obituary for his father who died of Covid-19 is going viral for excoriating mask refusers. “[He] died in a world where many of his fellow Americans refuse to wear a piece of cloth on their face to protect one another,” he wrote.

Residents of an elderly nursing home watch the protesters through the window in Kenosha, Wis.A Kansas son's obituary paying tribute to his father who died of Covid-19 is going viral for excoriating mask refusers., Courtney Farr, the son of the late Dr. Marvin J. Farr, who died December 1 at Park Lane Nursing Home in Scott City, Kansas, wrote that his father was"preceded in death by more than 260,000 Americans infected with Covid-19.

Describing his late father as a man born into the Great Depression and having survived World War II amidst great sacrifice, Courtney Farr said Marvin"died in a world where many of his fellow Americans refuse to wear a piece of cloth on their face to protect one another." "He died in a room not his own, being cared for by people dressed in confusing and frightening ways. He died with Covid-19, and his final days were harder, scarier and lonelier than necessary. He was not surrounded by friends and family.

Farr wrote that the response has been"vastly positive, but I have seen a few negative comments, including claims that I made my father's obituary political." "Well, his death was political," Farr wrote."He died in isolation with an infectious disease that is causing a national crisis. To pretend otherwise or to obfuscate is also a political decision."

People have been following the “rules” and wearing masks and the numbers continue to rise anyway if we believe in any of it. We’ve complied and nothing worked but people can’t put 2&2 together. Masks aren’t a fix for anything, sorry.

Sorry for this young man- but everyone I know that had and has covid wore a mask.

So sorry for your great loss. Hard to believe people are so selfish and don’t care about other people praying for a better day real soon. God Bless you!

Can he even prove it was a nonmask wearer? What if his dad picked his nose? Screw this dude

Somebody was probably actually wearing a mask but pulled it down to cough like Biden does. Sorry for your loss.

And those people had those false beliefs drilled into their heads by lying propaganda businesses (Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, Limbaugh, et al). The lies are dangerous and legally prohibited speech. They are not the free press and should not be protected.

Ok..one more for your perusal in hopes that you may one day garner some intelligence

Anybody ever seen that movie Idiocracy well as the state we live in.

Try this one it will work better than your asinine cloth mask..

the best way to not get sick is to not wear a mask or put swabs into your nose... no test... no flu-shot... no vaccine... no needles... believe it or not... fighting sickness by injecting it into healthy bodies... is stupid beyond belief... don't do any of it... stay healthy(:~:)

The jerks who won’t wear a mask, are people who wear seatbelts, observe No Smoking rules, and follow other rules and laws such as these. The MASK has been politicized by Donald Trump. He, instead of providing leadership he chose to pander to stupidity.

MORONS...a 'piece of cloth' doesn't protect you from ANY minute virus.

Lifting him and his family up in prayers for peace and comfort...

'born into the Great Depression and having survived World War II' was he a vet? article doesnt mention that? lots made sacrifices, article sounds more like biased journalist spin than anything, 81 years old, nursing home? politicize obits now... death and response so sad

Speaking up in a time of mourning is a brave deed. These unmasked people do not care for others just themselves. This is their uncaring example.

'Dad's dead, better use use his obituary to attack people I disagree with politically.' - Narcissistic Tosspot

Fools - In 2020, the decrease in death for all other causes almost exactly increased by the death of Covid-19 with no reasonable differential in overall annual death. SCAMDEMIC2020 We Have been Scammed by a system larger than all of us

Sure wish my dad's obituary went viral and got lots of likes and shares

Until smoking is completely banned, I don't want to hear anyone bitch about someone not wearing a mask.

Glad he did this. Shaming the maskless doesn't work well, as they are not smart people.

Yeah, don’t blame yourself or your dad. Wouldn’t make sense to take any personal responsibility for your own health

The seasonal flu kills 35,000 to 55,000 people every year and there' a vaccine. Other contagious diseases like Tuberculosis and Hepititus kill 20,000 more. What year did you begin your self righteous preaching about wearing a face mask? 2020? Why now?

It’ll all be over soon. The man-child is on his way out and the adults moving in. It may be too late for some then but I’m sure a lot more people will benefit. Sorry for your loss😔

Doesn’t look like it worked for him.

First I'm.sooop sorry Yes just don't listen and it angers me. May God b with u though this hard time

COVID: (0.03% fatality rate) If it was about death, then they would have banned sugars, fats, cigarettes and mandated exercise if you wanted insurance, because that’s where the health dollars go. (Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes) It's NOT about deaths - its about CONTROL

perhaps it's his guilt of putting his father in a death trap that inspired the words of his father's obit

this story is like 5 days old.

Anyone who knows Medical Data can review CDC stats and will tell you two things. The risk of death for this under age 70, with comorbidity or not, is flu like. And second, the data is skewed. We have not cured Cancer, Pneumonia, Flu, and Heart Disease, we just now call it COVID.

You aren’t immune with a a piece of cloth over your face

You can thank the Repubs for this one.. Trump never ever endorsed wearing a mask, or social distance his followers did whatever they saw him do... Trump the Repubs should be sued

Can't fear monger so your guilting people now? 90% of masks out there ain't working so stop lying to people. If your wearing a mask then your covered.

Prayers

So, instead of protecting oneself properly we are moving to remove the autonomy and free individual choice of Americans. That is so nice. It must suck to live your life blaming everyone but yourself for the actions and choices you make.

If the feeb wanted zero risk he'd have to hide Inside until 2026

I wear a mask and I still got Covid. The virus can’t be controlled short of mandating everything is closed. MasksDontWork MaskUp COVID19 commonsense101 WearAMask

While I realize COVID is more dangerous than the flu, you could use the same logic every flu season since the flu kills tens of thousands of people. If people just wore masks we could reduce deaths by THOUSANDS, therefore we should *blame* people who don’t wear masks every year?

Blame politicians for failing to protect his father...

And because he ventured out of his house where he could have hid out and ordered everything delivered. Masks are not a total prevention.

Kudos to him. He's absolutely right.

Here you have an article which for sure will make your life easier:

Extreme liberalism is mental illness and freedom has to die in the covid world and leadership must recognise this

NBC News = professional liars. EnemyOfThePeople

😞

It’s incredibly sad and people should mask up, but by no means should we treat masks as a magical cure all either tbh

Oh for the love of Pete

Cloth-absolutely worthless. Let the politicians answer his questions

Sorry for his loss. A lot of people in pain reach out to blame anything they can, logical or not.

PEOPLE must take control of the fight against C19! Leadership is dead, causing more deaths and infections, the community must rise up to the challenge and work together. Basic hygiene, distancing,masks and common sense will beat this virus, not rhetoric. Staying apart is together

Let’s make this clear: Donald Trump lost. By a lot. And in defeat, Trump could care less about a worsening pandemic and stalling economy. His efforts to steal the election are a national embarrassment. Worse, they damage our democracy. Trump is the worst president in history.

That’s what got him. Wasn’t a virus created in China...

LIVE: President Donald Trump Rally LIVE in Valdosta, GA

Your daddy cant live forever.

You mean the media is making this go viral. You can't blame everyone for not wearing a mask.

realDonaldTrump GovRonDeSantis USSenate USHouse Dr. Marvin J. Farrs' obituary is a must read. These deaths are the result of people placing greed, ideology & a misunderstood definition of freedum above the well-being of brothers an sisters. United we stand divided we fall

Yep I don’t care about anyone. I care about my immune system. F everyone.

This is fear porn

“Trump Supporters and the Civil Liberties Charade”

At some point since 1918 America 🇺🇸 Morphed into a Nation where (some) citizens only care if a Death 💀 occurs in their immediate families. And in some cases, even immediate family does not matter. Trust me I live in that world 👴🏾

What a great way to express this persons life and his death. So very sad but real and hopefully a wake up call to put a damn mask on.

Execs at NBC must have sat down in a meeting awhile ago and said, “for the good of mankind, we need to make every third article and post about masks.” We’re wearing them. It’s not working.

I prefer liberty, or a sense of security

Cloth masks are the biggest medical hoax of the last 50 years.

I have been wearing a mask since March, I wear my mask because I value myself, my family and my friends. Why is this so hard for people to understand. We will wear our masks until this virus is DEAD, because we value our LIVES.

Cool story. I'm still not wearing a mask.

So sad

We need more politics in memorials said no one ever

My condolences. I have no idea of the pain you are going through. However, I truly support your views that your father's death could have been preventable if other had followed mask mandates. That they do not is both sad and possibly criminal. I hope your father rests well.

The masks the medical experts told us were not necessary?

That wouldn’t happen if there was a President Biden to educate him

Exactly!!!!! Samething i would've written!!!!

😞😏

.

He was 81 and in poor health. You understand the risk is high for people in those categories for any respiratory virus right?

This guy is a moron

I prefer dad’s who don’t die

May He Rest In Peace Forever.

Mask compliance in the US is at record highs. 88% according to most surveys. They don’t work get over it.

Many of the selfish no mask wearing jackasses WERE ENCOURAGED BY TRUMP & GOP

I'm so sick of the fearmongering and shaming while people are losing their homes and jobs and will to live while corporations are profiting. You people are brainwashed

How selfish of you to prevent my body from building up immunities to more serious viruses!
