The obit for Glenn is beautiful, even if doesn't look like it was in a real paper (the obit to the left keeps referencing Harrison Ford and Han Solo). The thought still counts, and Glenn does deserve this kind of tribute after seven seasons on the AMC show:
As the obit begins, under the headline "RIP, Glenn":
"Glenn Rhee, husband, father-to-be, warrior and friend departed from this world October 23rd. He was 32." They write that Glenn was born and raised in Michigan to Korean immigrant parents (actor Steven Yeun, who is 32, was born in South Korea and raised in Michigan) and they reference Glenn's history of delivering pizzas before The Walker Apocalypse happened.
The whole listing is great, and it's touching to see this hero honored for the right reasons:
"He exhibited top-notch leadership when his leader and mentor was either unavailable or unable to lead, and his commitment to moral principles in a world-gone-mad breathed hope and promise to those around him (who meant him no harm)."
There's a bit of shade toward the end, when they list who he is survived by: After his loving wife Maggie and their unborn child, and a few others, they write "and various other adoptive family members and associates that will likely be more memorable in their eventual deaths than they ever were in life." Burn!
The last part is arguably the best:
"In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations of LITERALLY ANYONE WHO CAN HELP THEM DEFEAT NEGAN be made in his memory."
Seriously. "The Walking Dead" Season 7 continues Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
