Obituaries...

Another entry for my NM-190 class. Choosing our favorite fictional obituary in regards to our animatic characters.

After having scrolled through the lengthy list of character obituaries, I finally lighted upon one that made me smile. Perhaps humor and death should not be paired together, but in this case I was amused by Brendon's blog post.

Todd Martin Justice died in Indianapolis, Indiana on October 5, 2023 after being found dead in his parked car on Meridian street. The autopsy revealed that his cause of death was exhaustion. Investigators reported that they believed he had spent several hours circling his office building for a parking space, and by the time he finally parked, passed out from exhaustion.

Todd was born on April 17, 1988 in Indianapolis, Indiana. He lived in his hometown his whole life where he attended law school at IUPUI, became Indianapolis’ top law prosecutor, and raised a family. Starting in college, he had always had trouble finding a parking space, no matter what time or area. As a result, many knew him to be the man whose biggest goal was finding the greatest parking spot. The spot he claimed before he died is considered to be the greatest parking spot in all of Indianapolis. It is believed that he died happy since when he was found, he had a smile on his face.

Todd is survived by his wife, Rachel Justice and daughter Violet. He was preceded in death by his parents Bob and Mary Justice.

The public calling will be held at Conkle Funeral Home this Saturday at 10:00 AM. A private funeral procession will be held at Gray’s Memorial soon after. Contributions can be made to the Equal Parking Association.

This was my favorite character obituary. Todd was a normal, simple sort of fellow who found joy in great parking spaces. And he died happy...
